There seems to be a dating app for everyone, whether you're looking for something serious, a friends with benefits arrangement, or a casual hookup. There are even apps for threesomes — one of which you might already have on your phone. And for anyone interested in finding (or being) a third, that's really great news.

While it hasn't always been the case, conversations around sex and desire have really opened up over the past couple of years as people feel more empowered to explore what they like. In fact, according to Psychology Today, threesomes are one of the most popular sexual fantasies — and a 2020 study published in Archives of Sexual Behavior noted that the desire to have one only seems to increase with age.

If you've had a threesome, or are dreaming about having one, you aren't alone. However, as with any relationship, it's all about being clear about what you want from the beginning. Remember, no matter how casual the situation is for you, there are multiple people’s feelings to consider.

With that in mind, learn more about these popular threesome apps, try them out — and have fun!

Tinder

Tinder is the go-to app millions of single people use every day to find hookups and relationships. But it can come in handy for couples looking for a third, too.

All you need to do is select your gender preferences, state what you're looking for, and upload a few pictures. Just make sure you're 100% clear about your intentions — that you have a partner, are looking for a threesome, etc.— so that you don't confuse or surprise anyone.
