Bang With Friends, the controversial Facebook sex app has gotten its fair share of criticism and curious users. But do the app’s creators use their own tool? “I can say that one of us has successfully used the app,” said the product’s CEO, who prefers to go simply by “C,” and is one of three college-aged Californians who (still) wish to remain anonymous. “But I didn’t get the details of his encounter.”
The last time we spoke with the Bang With Friends boys, their Facebook sex app aimed at pairing potential sex partners had a humble 20,000 users. Three weeks later, the app has grown significantly, boasting north of 700,000 users. But with such lofty growth in a relatively short time, how many users actually find matches? So far, roughly 130,000 matches have been made, “about one in three pairs,” said C.

For the uninitiated, Bang With Friends is, according to C, the remedy for “broken” online dating sites. “The problem with online dating is that people will far too often hide behind a fake profile. For a lot of men, their true intentions are that they’re just looking for a friends-with-benefits situation.” And women? “For some women, they’re good with that but for others they’renot.” Not surprisingly, 70 percent of users are between the ages of 18 and 34.
