How to have the best Tinder hookup

While some people are on Tinder trying to find new love, many are on the app with the sole purpose of hooking up. 

There is no shame in finding people on Tinder to hook up with. Sex is something that humans crave and the app makes it very easy for you to find potential people to hook up with. 

After a Tinder date, you may find yourself in a situation where you want to hook up, and I am here to give you some of the best tips that I have to make it a memorable experience. 

I want to put a disclaimer: What works for me may not work for you, and that is completely okay. Everyone’s body is different and enjoys sex in its own unique way; if you try something new and you don’t like it that is completely okay. Everyone has their own preferences, do not feel discouraged.

There is no specific definition of what a hookup is, and each hookup is different from the last, so I will try my best to cover everything that may happen — from first base to home run.

The most important thing before any hookup is to discuss your boundaries first. While it may be uncomfortable, it is very important to do. You are the owner of your body, and you know what it wants; you are allowed to express what you want and what you do not want. 

Speaking from experience as someone who has not always set boundaries, you want to do this so you do not walk away traumatized. If at any moment you are not catching the vibe anymore, you have the right to speak up and stop. 

Do not let anyone continue just for their pleasure — you are supposed to enjoy it as well.

How can we enjoy a Tinder hookup? My best tip: PLEASE GET OUT OF THE DAMN CAR. I cannot even fully express my hatred toward hooking up in a car. It is so uncomfortable — half of the time because you are maneuvering your body in a weird way to make it work for both of you. 

And cleaning it up after, do not get me started on that pain. 

This may be because I am 6-foot-2 and most car hookups always have my head bumping against the ceiling. After talking to some of my friends, I found that not a lot of them have enjoyed their hookups in the car either, and they are much shorter than I am. 

Of course, it is the most convenient place if you are wanting to do it right after, but try your best to avoid the car. 

It shocks me how people want to get straight to hitting it without doing anything beforehand. To me, kissing is an absolute must because it always can get you in the correct mood. 

Jumping straight to it does not bring excitement for me, and it always makes me feel as if they want it to be a quick experience just to get it done.

As well as people not wanting to kiss, it always throws me off when people ignore oral sex entirely while hooking up. That is what can get you most excited and it helps you relax more, which is important. 

Of course, discuss boundaries with your partner, but to me this is an essential aspect of a hookup and I think everyone would benefit from it.

Safety always comes first and there is no excuse here. Make sure a condom is being worn if you get all the way there. 

While your partner may say they are all good, you never know and it is better to be safe than sorry. It may dampen the mood, but in order to have the best hookup you have to put your mind at rest and your safety first.
