This week for Role/Reboot I “reviewed” a new Facebook app called “Bang with Friends.” In theory, it’s a discreet way to figure out which of your friends are down to hook up with you. In practice, I found it to be a quick reminder of why you don’t sleep with your friends.
I tested it with a willing friend, just to see what happens. We indicated we were down to bang each other (literally, the button you press per friend is “Down to bang!”), which opened up a little mini-messaging conversation that went like this:
Me: Hey baby, let’s get a little more comfortable.
Me: I would never write that. That’s what this silly thing made me do.
Him: mmmm, sounds good.
Me: gross.
If you’d like to read more about my thoughts on Bang With Friends, casual sex, secret admirers, and FWB relationships, read on:

I honestly can’t imagine anyone taking this app seriously, and if they do it’s probably because they haven’t actually had sex. That’s my theory at least.
great post! I’m a new follower and I love your blog
I agree. I kind of feel like it’s designed for high schoolers…
Thanks and welcome!
HA! Ha ha ha hah…Has it really come to this?
This sounds like fun. No games. No waiting. Sounds perfect… for losers.
Created by a group of drunk guys. Anyone surprised?
