Short and honest

Kinky hookups, done right

Not everything has to be a relationship. Plenty of people want a kinky hookup - something short, honest and arranged properly - and there is nothing wrong with that as long as everyone is clear and everyone is safe. The difference between a good hookup and a bad one is almost never chemistry. It is whether the two of you agreed what was happening before it happened.

How to arrange one

Doing it properly

  1. Say what you want plainly."Looking for something casual" on your profile saves everyone's time and attracts people who want the same. Dressing a hookup up as more than it is helps nobody.
  2. Negotiate before you meet.Even for one night, agree what is on the table, the limits and the safeword. A casual scene needs the same clear consent as any other - arguably more, because you don't know each other.
  3. Meet in public first anyway.Yes, even for a hookup. Ten minutes in a bar to check the person matches the profile is cheap insurance, and anyone who refuses it is telling you something.
  4. Sort the practical stuff.Where, when, how you each get home, protection. The unromantic details are exactly what make a casual meet safe and easy.

Non-negotiable

Staying safe

  • Tell a friend where you're going and when you'll message them. The most useful thing you can do, casual or not.
  • Keep your own ride and enough to get yourself home. Never be somewhere you can't leave on your own terms.
  • Meet on neutral ground where you can, at least the first time. Your place or theirs is a step for once there's a little trust.
  • A hookup is still consent, every time. "Casual" never means the limits and the safeword stop applying - if anything they matter more.

Common questions

Hookups, answered.

Is it okay to only want something casual?

Completely, as long as you're honest about it. The only thing that makes casual go wrong is pretending it's something else. Say what you want, meet people who want the same, and nobody gets hurt.

How do I arrange a kink hookup safely?

Negotiate what's happening before you meet, see the person in public first, tell a friend where you are, and keep your own way home. Casual changes the commitment, not the safety - the rules are the same.

Does a casual scene still need a safeword?

Always. If anything it matters more with someone you don't know, because you can't read them yet. Agree it before you start, every time.

Where do people arrange kinky hookups in New York?

Here, mostly - say plainly on your profile that you're after something casual and you'll meet people across the state looking for the same. The city moves faster; upstate is a conversation away.
