Gents, good news ... Kik isn't closing down after all. It's been bought by Medialab, so those of you who use it to arrange your fun can breathe a sigh of relief.
(The news went around in late Sept 2019 that they were shutting it down. That threat now has gone away.)
Kik works .. just yesterday I had a fantastic, spontaneous meet with a girl from a swinging website (nb she's not a WG), and it was all down to what you can do with Kik at *minimum* risk of discovery. She was 21, half my age, and was a student feeling horny rather than going into lectures. Enormous tits, not too large elsewhere, and dirty as fuck :-)
But some WGs I know use Kik too, whether to arrange a meet or simply to talk about what you're after. I've had many a chat with WGs on Kik over the years, and generally it makes for better communication than texts or AW conversations. More spontaneous, and inherently more horny.
Anyway, if you're using Kik .. relax and continue to enjoy!
