3 best intimacy apps for better sex and more communication

We are all familiar with the adage there’s an app for that—And there is plenty of evidence to suggest that is true. You can download anything from increase productivity Application for journaling-done-easy solutions for apps that help you cut down on device time (a bit paradoxical, if you ask me). But intimate apps? Revolution.

Revolutionary, yet practical — and they’re here to help you completely upgrade not only your sex life but also the relationship you have with intimacy in every sense of the word. To familiarize myself with what’s out there and provide a (well-tested) review of the best intimacy apps, I’ve dived into three separate apps. Each section revolves around the actions of a bum, and all are developed to improve things like sex, lust, sex education, and relationship communication. After my experience, I can confidently confirm: Yes, there is definitely an app for that.

Historically, problems in sex life or the relational dynamics surrounding sex are often left unresolved. This leaves sexual needs frustratingly unmet and one or both partners feel sexually or feelings do not listen. These are serious problems that can lead to relationship endings or sexual stagnation.

But in 2022, what was once taboo, too scary to put out, or maybe even not on our radar, is now built into an app. Intimate apps are designed to make talking and working about our sex lives understandable, educational, and reassuring. Cue the Salt-N-Pepa — let’s talk about sex!

Some honest thoughts

I was impressed, surprised and frankly — as a sex and health education enthusiast for women—delight to see the wealth of information and support is now easily accessible. These apps are paving the way for so many topics around sex and sexuality to become the focus they deserve. They are making strides in normalizing talking about and meeting difficult subjects with compassion, kindness, and empathy.

I downloaded dozens of apps, learned some surprisingly wild and fascinating things (the world of twisty lines never let me down). After sorting them all, I’ve got my top three favorites *plus a bonus app* to share today. From gentle to wild, let’s find out.

The best intimacy apps for every relationship

Best connection for building: Coral

Developed in 2019 and supported by a bunch of Experts On sexual health and wellness, Coral focuses on evidence-based approaches to improving sex lives and connections. In 2021, the app launched a feature called “pairing couples” that stores secure messages within the app with daily reminders to encourage you and your partner to flirt and open up. sexual communication. The app also offers anonymous or private opportunities to ask the experts specific questions or troubleshoot challenges you’re experiencing.

Main highlights

• Step-by-step lessons on topics like connecting, feeling confident during sex, and learning how to get out of your head and have fun.
• Sexy playlist.
• Curated weekly exercises, such as learning how to make space for sex.
• The game is designed for couples or to play alone.
• Mindfulness practice is geared towards building arousal and regaining the mood.
• Trick to change gender in the game.
• A brief audio lesson on sexual health.

Advantages

Coral offers TONS of content and cares about supporting diverse experiences. I like the emphasis on practicing ways of connecting more deeply not only with your partner or partners but with yourself.

Defect

There’s loads of free content on the app, but it comes with a hefty price tag: $60 annually. Split, however, for $5 a month you get the same experience as sex therapy in one app. Totally worth it in my opinion.

Best for sexual health, therapy and education: Rosy

What started as an app designed to assist women with low libido has transformed into a community-based platform where women can connect across a variety of sexual health concerns. sex. The app’s general structure and wellness plans aim to educate, empower, and provide you with sexy content to fuel your desires.

The Dallas-based founder is an OB/GYN who was baffled at the thought that there were so many treatments offered to men with low sex drive. But for women, there are few resources, training or education options. Rosy is the right choice for anyone looking to deal with sexual dysfunction or hiccups that you may be experiencing. From the physical to the mental to the emotional components of sex, Rosy provides space and support for all.

Main highlights

• Educational videos on topics like over-the-counter drugs for aphrodisiacs and more.
• Erotic short stories based on audio to get you in the mood.
• A community board where you can connect, share and learn from others using the app.
• Join individual or small group coaching sessions that tackle topics such as juggling it all and getting back to having fun.

Advantages

You begin your experience with Rosy by taking a quiz and providing information about what you are looking to achieve. The app then sets you up with personalized wellness plans, plenty of audio content to help you feel glamorous, and access to community forums and coaching. Rosy takes a medical and therapeutic approach to sexual health concerns that I think are essential. It is doing a lot in terms of extending access to these resources, and it’s all done in an attractive and secure way.

Defect

There is less content available on Rosy than on the Coral app. With that, my initial impressions suggest that it’s rather female-focused and focused on male/female or female/female relationships with less space or visibility for others. The app offers *some* of the content for free, but much of it is behind a paywall.

Payment plans provide access to the app for $24.99 or $74.99 to get different levels of content. This is followed by a $49.99 or $149.99 monthly fee depending on whether you choose a gold or platinum membership. IMO, quite expensive, but the more expensive platinum plan includes two group training sessions and one personal training session per month. It can be helpful to think of this as a therapeutic bill, because content really is the panacea for whatever you’re dealing with.

Best for sexy, fun flirting: Kindu

The application is light and easy to use. It aims to encourage intimacy, enhance play, and get you and your partner thinking about sex and proactive ways to spice up your sex life. Think Tinder meets truth or dare, but only you and your partner are looking.

Here’s how it works: Create an account on the app and link it to your partner account. Switch to the “den” section of the app where you can swipe through several “decks” of content. You and your partner privately swipe through suggested cards with ideas to enhance connection and fun. If you and your partner both swipe yes on the same card, that card will show up in a different tab labeled “match”.

Essentially, the app provides sexy suggestions and ideas for things like having sex outside, experimenting with gentle bondage, or role-playing. This gives you and your partner a chance to comfortably and without pressure to connect about ideas that you’re both interested in but might be too shy to discuss.

Main highlights

• It’s free to download, plus you get a daily stock of ideas at no extra cost.
• All content is relatively affordable compared to other apps.
• User-friendly design and experience.
• Come up with creative ideas for new, varied ways of experiencing joy.
• Easy for both partners to use and connect.

Advantages

Kindu offers a wide range of ideas from the mildly experimental to the more dangerous, satisfying every level of interest and taste of desire. Navigating is simple and easy, and allows you to return to accessing relevant cards or archive tags to return to later. It’s great for couples who want to have fun, entertain, and keep things light.

Defect

Some ideas and decks can be a bit overwhelming for some couples. While it helps you step outside of your comfort zone, it can take a lot of work at first. This app is also not focused on therapy or wellness. Instead, it’s a pretty basic tool and resource for light and easy fun. If you’re looking for more therapy-based work, I recommend picking up one of the other intimacy apps instead.
