THE DAILY BEAST - "Bang With Friends" is a controversial Facebook app created by three anonymous college-aged males. The app, launched in January 2013, quickly attracted 20K users in four days. It matches Facebook friends who mutually want to engage in casual sex, notifying only when both parties express interest. Despite mixed reviews criticizing societal communication breakdowns and perceived immaturity, the creators envision the app as a blunt tool for young adults seeking honest connections. Initially, the app lacked sexual preference customization and had issues with inappropriate matches, which were later addressed. The creators believe the app encourages open conversations about sex and relationships, aligning with their philosophy that sex shouldn't be taboo.
