These Are the 14 Best Sexting Apps for NSFW Fun

If you’re looking for a private online space to get down and dirty, there is no better option than Signal. The app itself looks like any other messaging app, however it has state of the art end-to-end-encryption—that’s tech-speak for “ain’t nobody reading messages you don’t want them to read.”

Signal does not store your messages anywhere in the back-end, which means the only person who can listen to your calls or audio-notes, see the photos you send and receive, or read your texts and sexts is the person on the receiving end.

You can also set the messages you send and receive to auto-delete after a certain period of time. So, if you don’t want that dope photo of your dong hanging out in the ether for eternity, just tell Signal to delete it.

We-Vibe, the luxury sex toy company responsible for one of Men’s Health’s favorite prostate massagers (Vector) and panty vibrators (Moxie), has app connectivity. The company has an app by its same name, which functions like a remote control, DJ mixing console, and instant messenger all in one.

When you buy a We-Vibe sex toy that’s compatible with the We-Vibe toy (listed here), you can connect your toy to your We-Vibe app, and/or the app on your partner(s) smart device. This in turn allows you or them to control the toy when it is in use through the app, modulating intensity and coming up with new vibrational patterns. There is also an in-app messaging platform that allows you to dirty talk with your partner(s) with the help of audio, video, and/or text.

The main downside of this app is that you cannot connect and have your sex toy app-controlled by people you do not personally know—the app doesn’t have a chat room function that allows you to connect with other users anonymously, which may be a bummer for people who enjoy public play.

Some of the toys in the Zalo line-up can be controlled from afar using the Zalo App. When you sync your sex toy to the app, you’ll be able to customize your own vibrational patterns, as well as connect your toy to your favorite song. Curious what I’d feel like to literally get off to The Weeknd? Now you can in more than one way.

As for why we’re including it on a round-up of the best sexting apps? Well, because it has a chat feature that allows you to chat while you cum, as well as a video-chatting feature that can put you face-to-face with a long-distance boo.

No doubt, the luxury sex toy market has effectively helped more and more people bring pleasure products—and therefore pleasure—into their bedroom. Unfortunately, ringing up at more than $200, many of these products are not accessible to people on a budget. As a result, many college students, wanna-be first-time buyers, and new parents feel like they have to choose between pleasure and… dinner.

Sex toy brand Satisfyer is changing all of that. Their entire sex toy line-up, which includes air pulsators, C-rings, panty-vibrators, rabbit vibes, and more is all under $70. Best, Satisfyer has an app that can be used to control the toy near and far, as well as enabling you to chat and video with your long-distance partner right through the app. ICYWW: The video portion of the app functions similarly to Skype and also gives you a clear picture of your pal.

Whether you O for AI, or are brand spanking (heh) new to sexting, you’ll love Slutbot. Formerly known as Juicebox, Slutbot is a site that allows you to practice your sexting skills with a robot, or connect with other sluts and sexters.

When you head to the website, you’ll either give Slutbot your website where you’ll proceed to text (or iMessage) with a raunchy, rambunctious robot. Before the convo goes down, the robot will text you questions about your gender and sexual preferences, to increase the likelihood that you’ll enjoy their responses. Neat, right?

You can also join the Slutbut Discord. There, you’ll have the option to sext privately with Slutbot, chitty-chat with like-minded dirty-talkers, and otherwise get to be the sloot you want to see in the world!

“Got Snap?” Nearly every swiper has received this, or a similar, message at some point and known that the underpinning the question is a desire to send and receive R-rated imagery. Since its release in 2011, SnapChat has revolutionized the sexting games, allowing horndogs to send photos and videos knowing that they will “self-destruct” within seconds.

The disappearing nature of images shared on SnapChat helps sexters feel like they are minimizing the risk of their images being shared or leaked. But it should be said that you should establish rules about screenshots, saving, and other forms of image replication before using the app to sext someone. After all, it is possible that the receiver screenshot, screen-record, or use another device to take a pic of the image you sent under the false assumption it would disappear into the ether forever after.

These days, it seems like everyone and their tech-oblivious family has heard of OnlyFans. Quick recap: Launched in 2016, OnlyFans is an online platform and app that allows people to sell and purchase original content of all kinds. Exactly what people buy and sell through the app depends on their skillset. But it’s widely used by sex workers to sell sexually explicit graphics, videos, and conversations. So, if you are interested in chit-chatting or exchanging photos with a professional, OnlyFans could be a good option for you.

Here’s how it works: You download the app or pull the site up on your browser. Then, you subscribe to creators you want to hire. Finally, you message them through the messaging portion of the site and (hopefully) come to an agreement around what you’ll talk about, how many messages you’ll do it in, what images are included (if any), and what the rate will be.

TBH, OnlyFans search functionality is trash. So it might take a little leg work to find the creator(s) who best suit your desires. There are dozens of Reddit threads dedicated to connecting pleasure seekers with sex workers who specialize in their niche, and many creators post the link in the bio of their other social profiles.

Sure, sexting someone you’re dating can be hot! But for when you’re single, your partner is at a work event, or you’re just craving a different flavor of freaky messaging, there’s SextPanther.com. (Of course, if you’re partnered, just make sure sexting other people is within the agreements of your relationship!).

SextPanther.com is a website that allows you to text message, call, video call, video message, picture message, or audio message with the model (or sex worker) of your choosing. Each model has a series of photos and little bio available for you to view and read so you can choose someone who aligns with whatever fantasy you’re hoping to live-out via text. (Every model has a different cost-per-message, but most charge about $2.00 per message).

While SextPanther.com is a website, you can access it via the TextPanther app. Here’s how it works: You create an account on SextPanther.com and go into your SextPanther.com dashboard to enable the “Call via iOS/Android app” option. Then, download TextPanther and log in using your SextPanther.com account. Then, you’re free to sext right from your phone.

A shame free zone. A sexting app. A hookup hub. No matter what you call it, there’s no question that HUD—which, btw, stands for “Hookup Dating”—is one of the best apps for pleasure-seekers looking to play either IRL or URL.

When you are setting up your profile, HUD asks you to share whether you’re looking for something casual, something serious, one night only, friends with benefits, or online fun. (It might sound obvious, but those specifically interested in sexting should select the ‘online fun’ option).

After that, you select 3 desires—which range from biting and bondage, to group fun and threesomes—so that potential matches will have a hunch as to what you’re into, and therefore how compatible you might be. Finally, your profile goes live and you get the opportunity to swipe through, select, and (with consent) sext with other HUD users. Fun!

As far as LGBTQ+ dating apps are concerned, Grindr get’s all the applause. No doubt, Grindr deserves praise for the way it’s helped gay and bi men find everything from adoration to anal since its inception in 2009. However, it is not the most friendly app in the world for queer women, trans folks, and non-binary cuties. So if that’s you, consider Lex.

Lex is a text-first dating app that allows users from all over the world to craft profiles in the tradition of old-school personal ads. If you are interested specifically in finding a person to sext with, just say that! Pro tip: Get specific. If to talk through a golden shower fantasy? Call yourself a Poet With A Penchant for Pee. Want to fantasize about being pegged? Name that you’re a Pretty Bottom Peggee Looking To Pen.

Look, no salacious app round-up would be complete without Grindr. In case you’re not familiar: The home screen shows your a grid of men (and some non-binary and queer folks) near you, who you can then chat-up, send and receive pics with, or set up plans for a mid-afternoon date to pound town—or an actual date, if that’s what you’re into.

Admittedly, most people on Grindr aren’t looking for a pen pal. After all, the geolocation feature was designed to help you avoid the “talking’” phase and get right to it. But go ahead and name that you’re looking for someone to sext with right in your bio. You only need one taker…for now, that is.

Feeld is a dating app for sexual and romantic misfits, in the absolute best way possible. Among some of the many non-conformists, you’ll find non-monogamists, bisexuals, group sex fiends, kinsters, Dom(mes) and submissives, and more.

Many people use the apps to find play partners, group sex participants, and the like. But other folks name in their bio that they are looking for online fun—if that’s you be sure to mention it in your profile so people know not to expect an in-person date. Be sure to use the “desire” hashtag section so people know exactly what topics you’re most excited to chit-chat about. Oh, and you can send an expiring image in your chats with people you have matched with. Just be sure to get consent before going from “what’re looking for” to looky here!

Some sexters are looking to send novel-length texts detailing exactly what they want to do with their tongue… Others prefer to skip both the small (and long) talk and just receive and send pics. If you’re a visual (ahem) learner and the latter camp, Confide is for you.

Confide, which is short for Confidential Messenger, offers encrypted, self-destruction text and phone capabilities that are similar to that of SnapChat. However, the app is designed to find and punish people who take screenshots without consent. If you take a screenshot, not only will the victim get notified, but you’ll get ejected from the app and the screenshot will be obscured beyond recognizability. The screenshot-proofing mechanisms of this app make it an especially good sexting option for people interested in sending and receiving photos with those they do not know well or trust.

The Tophy interface looks and functions similar to any ‘ole dating app. However, unlike more-traditional dating apps (*cough* Hinge *cough*) where people are primarily looking for long or short term dating, Trophy can be used by people with a wide-range of interests. Including those who want to interact ~textually~ with strangers.

The app itself is made by the masterminds behind Lovense, which is a pleasure product company responsible for a variety of toys, including the notorious thrusting egg vibrator Vulse 3. As such, Tophy can also be used to find strangers interested in a toy-control session, a.k.a. sexting on steroids.
