Her  

A platform I created for LGBTQ+ women, Her is the only place to meet people of all sexualities looking for the same-sex experience. And if you're not sure where you sit on the Kinsey scale, 10% of the user base are 'exploring' their sexuality, so it could be a first stop to dip your toe in the water.

Hornet 

A slightly more high-brow app for guys, Hornet keeps their pictures clean and the sexual health history clear. Might this be the place you'll find that one?

OhLaLa

Sometimes, you're low and time and clear on direction, with cash to make it happen all that bit quicker. OhLaLa lets you set your time, name the price you're up for spending on your 'date night' and you're all set.
