In the age of on-demand everything, it's no surprise that we can get dates (and I use that term loosely) with the tap of a button. Thanks to classic hookup apps like Tinder and newcomers like Pure, finding a sexy new friend can be as straightforward as ordering a pizza. That's about the same as your pizza -- hit or miss, depending on the time of day, where you're located, and how you are. SEE ALSO: Is AdultFriendFinder the best dating site for Gen Z?

One night this past February, over drinks and moody bar lighting, Eric Green and his friends were swapping stories of their recent hookups when one mentioned they'd used the app Sniffies to have public sex. A 30-year-old tattoo artist who works in Bushwick, Brooklyn, Green identifies as a bottom, is a frequent user of dating apps, and has an active sex life--only, he'd never heard of Sniffies. It wasn't long after that night out, Green was overtaken by "complete and total horniness" while at home, and decided to sign up himself. When he opened the app he was reminded of Google Maps, only instead of restaurants and shopping recommendations, he was inundated with nudes and suggestions for the nearest pump-and-dump. "I expected it to be like Grindr and Jack'd, but after I checked it out I realized it was super accessible," Green says, referencing two other popular queer hookup platforms.
