Hookup App Mixxxer Featured in Daily Beast

LOS ANGELES — Location-based sex finder app Mixxxer snagged a feature editorial piece in pop culture website Daily Beast this week.

The piece gives readers a revealing look at a recent trend that has caught on among adventurous singles’: casual sex on-demand, often just a digital swipe on your smartphone away.

The article, “Swipe Right For Sex: Mixxxer Is Tinder for the Porn Star Set,” profiles the web-based app’s growing popularity with the open minded. The feature’s author adult star Aurora Snow notes, “All this makes finding a booty call easier than ever … you both know why you’re on Mixxxer.”

Mixxxer founder Michael Manes believes the app’s substantial growth in the 12 weeks isnce its launch has come courtesy of racy news articles like these, and positive word-of-mouth, as the site’s declaration is loud and clear: this is not a dating app.

“I think the reason Mixxxer is so appealing is that people on the site aren’t pretending to be something they aren’t,” Manes explained. “Everyone is there for a good time, and it’s nice that the mask of ‘dating’ isn’t necessary.”

In addition to Daily Beast, Mixxxer has also been featured on AskMen.com, MTV.com, Huffington Post, DailyDot.com, EliteDaily.com, Styleite.com, DazedDigital.com, Refinery29.com, BetaBeat.com, Supercompressor.com and more.

“The future is now,” Manes said. “Instant sexual gratification from your smartphone is pretty much as good as life’s ever going to get. What could possibly be better?”
