Bang With Friends for Android helps you get frisky with Facebook

Posted: 08 May 2013 05:25 PM PDT

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I wish I knew if my Facebook friends wanted to engage in coitus, but it’d be so embarrassing to just ask!”? Boy have we got an app for you. Bang with Friends has been officially released for Android today, helping hot-to-trot Facebook users connect with like-minded friends looking to form the two-backed beast. Or just hang out, you know, whatever’s cool.

Using the app is simple enough, you just sign in with your Facebook account, and as you scroll through your Facebook friends list, you can either click, “Up to Hang,” or, “Down to Bang.” It’s totally anonymous, until you’re matched up with someone who has expressed a desire to experience the same level of relationship as you have, at which point you’ll be notified that you may be getting lucky. It’s really as simple as that folks.

If you have not a single shred of decency in your body, feel free to use the download widget below.

Have your eye on an HTC First, the for-all-intents-and-purposes Facebook phone, but can’t decide if you should pull the trigger or not? Now is the time, as the device is available right this moment for just $0.99 on-contract with AT&T.

Whether you like Facebook or not, the HTC First is a great device.
