What is Squirt?

Squirt is an online meeting and hookup platform designed primarily for LGBTIQ+ men. You need to sign up and create a profile to use the platform. User profiles often contain graphic descriptions and images with full-frontal nudity. You can use Squirt through its website or app.

Squirt has a number of different features:

  • Chat – send direct messages to other users.
  • Cruise – find physical locations where people meet for cruising. Users can view information about locations, such as the best times to go and how to get there.
  • Message boards – read or create posts from users in your local area. Many posts are from people looking to meet and hook up. You can reply directly to specific posts.
  • Video chat rooms – join group video chat rooms based on different sexual interests or themes.
  • Cocktales – read or post adult stories.
  • Buddies – add other users to your ‘buddy list’, which works like a contacts list.
  • Online status – choose how you appear to other users, for example, ‘online’, ‘looking to hookup got the next 3 hours’, ‘show me offline for this session’ and more.
  • Score card comments – leave comments on other users’ profiles (for example, if you like their profile or have hooked up with them). The user can choose whether to approve and display the comment on their profile.
  • Daily squirt – read articles published by Squirt about topics related to the LGBTIQ+ community.

You can use Squirt for free or with its paid subscription called ‘Fan Club’, which has added features.

The minimum age to use Squirt is 18. When creating an account, users are asked to confirm they are 18 or older, but they are not required to provide proof of their age.
