After her husband rebuffed her offers to experiment with sexting or threesomes and even an open marriage, Sally McCloud* decided to take action. This summer, the 38-year-old woman from New Jersey joined Pure, the hot new hookup app where anything goes.

Almost every guy at a party tries to hook up with a hot girl. In order for you to stand out from the crowd, here are some tips that you can use.

Going by the handle “Philosophical Fairy,” McCloud met a traveling businessman hot for her “mommy bod” and they enjoyed a rendezvous at a Newark hotel last September. The tryst finally convinced McCloud that her boring sex life wasn’t her fault.

“On Pure I found that I was a lot more desirable than I thought I was, and the guys seem to be enjoying me and my witty banter. Honestly, this app has helped me unlearn a lot of junk I’d been carrying with me, that sex was shameful until marriage or that a man’s needs always come first.”

Launched in 2013, Pure has only just started marketing the app in the US as a site for “shameless dating,” an online ad board where users can explicitly say what they’re looking for right now. The brainchild of Ukrainian entrepreneurs Roman Sidorenko and Alexander Kukhtenko, the app currently boasts a half-million active, international users, mostly in cities like London, Paris, Berlin and Moscow. In the New York City area, Pure has approximately 20,000 prospective daters. In April 2020, Olga Petrunina, who previously founded several IT companies in the travel and crypto industries, became the CEO of Pure. According to the company’s literature, “As a woman, Olga’s main goal is to improve the female experience with online dating.”

“Our founders imagined Pure like Uber for dating — right here, right now,” says Anna Hintsyak, the company’s marketing manager in the US and UK.

According to Hintsyak, the number of Pure users has increased 120 percent since last year. Men on Pure pay $18 a month, while women use it for free.

The average user is between 25 and 40, with 67 percent identifying as male, 30 percent female, and 3 percent non-binary. Seventy percent say they are straight, 20 percent claim to be bisexual with the remainder saying they are gay, lesbian, queer or asexual. (Notably, while the vast majority of Pure users are men, no male users would agree to speak to The Post.)

As for the kind of men she meets, “it’s not just rich Manhattan guys,” said Natalie DeCamp*, a 28-year-old New York City hospitality employee who has been using the site for about five years. “It’s very diverse people from all walks of life, and they’re all pretty pervy.”

New users of Pure will find it straightforward enough, downloadable via either Apple or Google. Users post a profile after identifying only their gender and sexual identity and then scroll away for possible matches. When matches are made — or when users pay an extra $2 to send direct messages to others — possible paramours can either chat, send each other audio messages or agree to connect via the site’s video feature.

One unique feature is the “chat timer,” which begins a 24-hour countdown when two users match. If the daters don’t talk during that window, the chat “self-destructs,” ending any chance for connection. While some might feel pressured by that, others appreciate the nudge.

“Pure is a lot of ‘cut to the chase,’ and the timer encourages us to do that,” McCloud said.

DeCamp agrees, saying, “Otherwise people dilly-dally.”

Pure was conceived around the same time as Tinder, Hintsyak explains. She says founder Sidorenko saw Tinder was “gaining steam and building a culture around ‘endless dating.’” But he also noticed Western culture was “straying away from monogamy and saw a different opportunity for Pure,” namely the chance to “provide quality over quantity for dating app users,” making the right kind of connections in a “sex-positive” environment.

Hintsyak says Pure isn’t trying to be just another Tinder, though, or even Grindr for straights.

“We stand for diversity and inclusivity, so when creating a profile, there are three genders to choose from (male, female, non-binary) and five sexual identities (heterosexual, queer, lesbian, bisexual, asexual).”

Nonetheless, the site is mostly a go-to for heterosexuals searching for casual sex. Nearly all of the users interviewed by The Post found Pure either by scrolling through the app store or Googling “best straight hook-up app.”

Along with offering interesting dating opportunities, Pure prides itself as a site where all fetishes are welcome but shame is not, Hintsyak says.

“Our mission now is not purely providing a safe space for dating, but also creating content together with sex educators and psychologists to help people understand their desires and kinks are healthy, valid, and natural.” That content is found in the app’s “Journal,” which includes columns on Culture (“11 Must-Watch Films on Transgressive Sexuality and Kinks”), Dating (“Friends With Benefits: A Self-deluding Concept?”), and Pleasure (“5 Rules to Enjoy Sexting for Beginners”). There are also first-hand accounts called #PureStories, where users describe what it’s like to date on the app.

Pure users aren’t vetted by the company, but female fans said they feel confident using the platform because of its emphasis on privacy. Everyone on Pure can remain anonymous, male or female, and no one has to include pictures with a profile. Plus, if someone does send photos to a match, the images self-destruct within seconds of being viewed.

“The self-destructing photos are one of Pure’s winning features,” said “Vibrant Seductress,” a 30-year-old woman who lives on the Upper West Side and works in the medical field.

But the self-destruct photo feature can be turned off, too, for cases when a user wants a match to enjoy their picture permanently.

“Vibrant Seductress” said she doesn’t bother with the photos too much, though, other than to ensure a person’s “attractiveness,” and she definitely isn’t into sexting, as she joined Pure expressly for “casual sex.”

“I’m intentional in wanting to hook up, so sexting is a waste of my time.”

She adds that Pure is “better than the other sites when it comes to no-strings-attached hook-ups.”

Neither photos nor chats on the app can be copied or saved, and if a user attempts to take a screenshot, an alert is immediately sent out. And while the platform’s in-house camera allows for video chats for users to chat or sext, those videos are never saved, not on Pure’s servers or in the cloud, Hintsyak said.

“The app does a good job of empowering women and keeping them comfortable,” said “Dynamic Provocateur,” a 20-something grad student living in Lower Manhattan.

Which is not to say Pure’s female users don’t have to jump through hoops to find a decent guy. Many a man on the site has been known to sneak in a suspect photo that shows them fitter or with more hair than they truly have — or even times when they purported to be a handsome celebrity who they, of course, are not, said Dynamic Provocateur.

“Finding a gem on here requires a lot of vetting and hard work, but they do exist,” she added.

McCloud has come to the same conclusion.

“I’ve had one or two not good experiences, mostly where guys don’t look like what they’re supposed to, but I’ve also had a lot of really good experiences, too.”

Which isn’t to say Pure is for everyone. Sure, there are many straights on the site looking for casual sex, DeCamp explains, but it’s not always sex for the faint of heart.

“The other day I met a guy for extremely strict Dom Daddy/Little Girl role-play,” she tells The Post. “We met up for bubble tea and then [had sex] in Central Park at night in a kind of public location — that was a kind of regular Pure date for me.”

DeCamp said that her tastes run so outré, Tinder has banned her from using its site.

“Tinder’s so puritanical now,” she said. “I’m into hardcore sadomasochism and psychological role-play” and some of her fantasies “have been hard to come by, even on Pure.”

*All names have been changed.

It’s vaxxed girl summer and lesbian dating apps are popping off.

Now that the world is opening up again, the prospect of actually meeting people on dating sites and hookup apps is finally feeling more and more feasible for all of us. But those who identify as lesbian, bisexual, and queer may have had hesitancy around online dating even before the pandemic. In real life and on mainstream apps, LGBTQ+ people often have to jump over hurdles that straight, cis people don’t to find partners who accept them and are looking for the same things.

When it comes to making online dating inclusive, there’s still a lot of work to do—like reducing the harassment LGBTQ people experience on dating apps. But thankfully, today, daters have plenty of options beyond traditional heteronormative frameworks. A number of free lesbian dating apps and more apps with queer-friendly settings are making sure that finding love (or sex) is a fun, safe process for people of every sexual orientation.

Here are some of the best lesbian dating apps to check out as you re-emerge into the world in 2021. (The best news? All of them are free to download.)

1. Thurst

Designed to be inclusive of people of all gender identities and sexual orientations, Thurst emphasizes safety and privacy by providing secure messaging and not connecting to social networks or sharing users’ data. And if you’re looking specifically for Black lesbian dating apps, this app is Black developer-led and committed to fighting racism, with strict community guidelines requiring members to be accepting of all identities.

2. Qutie

If you’re looking for a lasting relationship, this app is focused on helping people, particularly LGBTQ people, build meaningful connections, including friendships as well as romantic relationships. Another feature of Qutie is in-app video messages that help reassure users that they’re really talking to the person they think they’re talking to.

3. HER

One of the first of its kind, HER was originally known as an app for queer women but has since rebranded as one for all lesbian, bisexual, and queer people. In addition to facilitating connections between people, HER connects users with local events geared toward LGBTQ people as well as news relevant to them.

4. Lex

Described as a “text-centered social app that connects queer lovers and friends,” Lex is modeled after old personal ads — particularly the lesbian personals from the women-run erotica magazine On Our Backs. That means profiles include detailed bios that put an emphasis on people’s personality traits and interests rather than just their photos.

5. Feeld

This app originated as a platform for people to find threesomes but has expanded to cater to people seeking all varieties of judgment-free arrangements, with an emphasis on non-monogamous relationships. It attracts open-minded people who are accepting of LGBTQ identities as well as kink and polyamory. Couples can link their accounts together, and singles can create their own.

6. Lesly

A Tinder-like app specifically for women interested in women, Lesly’s standout feature is its “show” feature, which lets you share photos with the app’s community to essentially advertise yourself. In addition, Lesly’s staff screens users’ profiles to make sure everyone on there is genuine. Users laud its clean, user-friendly design and responsive support team.

7. #Open

This app is for not just open relationships but also open-minded people, with the ability to include as many or few identifiers of your gender and sexual orientation on your profile as you want. Users’ profiles can also indicate what they’re “open” to, including kink, different relationship structures, and various activities. You can use it on your own or create a joint profile with a partner.

8. Fem

This Android app is based on video profiles, so you can show off your personality and get a sense of who other people are before you meet them. Once you match with people, you can send each other more photos and videos. You can also join group chats if you’re looking to meet a bunch of different people at once.

9. Bumble

Bumble originated around the concept of women sending the first message, to which men had 24 hours to respond, but today you can also make same-sex matches on the app. When a match is made, either person can make the first move, then the next person still has 24 hours to respond before the match expires. This method motivates users to say something so that the conversation doesn’t die down (and if you are matching with men, you’re in control of the conversation). In addition to Bumble’s dating mode, you can also use BumbleBFF to find friends or BumbleBizz to make professional connections.

10. Tinder

A few years back, Tinder added a feature that lets users select up to three terms to describe their sexual orientation, as opposed to just saying that you’re seeking men, women, or both. These terms can be displayed on your profile and can also be used to vet potential matches. The app also includes 37 terms you can select to describe your gender identity.

11. OKCupid

One of the older dating apps out there, OKCupid has become more LGBTQ-friendly over the years, allowing all users to share their pronouns and allowing LGBTQ users to only be seen on the app by other LGBTQ people. Users also have more options for describing their gender and sexuality than ever before.
