This community brings together women, men and couples with a wide range of preferences and interests. Users can introduce themselves with pictures, texts and videos on their own profile page. Contacts can easily be found via video and text chats as well as the large forum.
Since it was founded in 2004, more than 4 million people have registered (as of February 2015) and have successfully initiated many individual adventures. Together, the members have uploaded millions of photos, write around 500,000 messages and post around 5,000 forum entries a day. They generate over nine million page views a day.
At Popcorn.Dating, all basic functions, such as viewing profiles, writing messages and using the video and text chat, are absolutely free. Premium and VIP memberships give members the opportunity to present themselves more individually and use advanced functions.
To ensure the highest possible level of security and seriousness, there is a German support team in Berlin, which is responsible for all small and large concerns as well as comprehensive member support.
Founded as a family business by the three brothers David, Julius and Robby Dreyer, the protection of minors is a high priority at Popcorn.Dating. All images and videos are checked with the greatest possible care. Pornographic content can only be viewed by Premium and VIP members after successful age verification. We are a full member of the non-profit JusProg association.
_____________________________
2004:
The basic idea behind the Popcorn.Dating project was to create a 100% free site for sex contacts in Germany. With unlimited contact options for free memberships, we were able to register more than 100,000 members in its first year. The rapid growth of the site soon made it necessary to set up paid areas, as the site and its new functions could no longer be financed by advertising alone.
2005:
An improved version was launched in April 2005. In addition to performance optimizations, the new version also included the paid VIP and Premium areas for the first time. The operators attached great importance to not restricting the range of functions for existing members - the original basic functions can still be used free of charge today. New functions, such as the photo competition, were added time and again and are still active today.
2006:
Within a short space of time, the number of members rose to over 500,000 registered users. In June 2006, the site's architecture was fundamentally changed in order to prepare the site for further growth in membership numbers. The first meeting of the forum MODs and chat OPs with those responsible took place in Berlin.
2007 - 2009:
Popcorn.Dating has developed into one of the most heavily frequented sites on the German Internet. As a result, enormous amounts of data had to be processed and the servers had to be constantly updated. The introduction of the FSK18 check provided additional security. In addition to visual refreshes and new functions, such as the text and video chat, the first Poppen.de party was held in Berlin with many hundreds of members.
2011:
The mobile version of Popcorn.Dating is launched. This version, optimized for mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets, with the most important functions, has been optimized and improved again and again over time.
2012:
3 million members - a proud figure that the founders would not have thought of in the slightest at the beginning. And we continued to grow, with around 1,500 new members joining every day, most of them through recommendations from friends and acquaintances. And so it will hopefully continue, on to the next million.
2014:
Popcorn.Dating celebrates its 10th anniversary in February. In addition, so-called ambassadors, who are themselves members of the community, welcome new members and provide tips and assistance.
2015:
Popcorn.Dating breaks the 4 million member barrier.
2016:
The entire community moves to a new framework. More modern and more intuitive, with numerous new functions, the community community responds to users' wishes and implements them.
2018:
Numerous new functions are available to users. Most of them are based on suggestions directly from the community.
2020:
Online meetings and themed evenings with users take place in chat and the redesigned newsfeed.
2021:
Popcorn.Dating launches the dating app Popcorn. The app for iOS and Android is free of charge. Users of the web version can log in directly with their login data to log in directly and use all functions.
2022:
The new group function enables users to come together for all to come together in all areas of interest. Whether sexual desire, exchange on various topics or leisure activities, everything is possible and can be can be created individually.
2023:
The in-house fan store is online. From now on, enthusiastic Poppers ;-) (our fans) and popcorn lovers* can buy merch and shirts from their community in our shop.
2024:
We celebrate our 20th birthday. The Popcorn app celebrates its third.
Several times a month, we invite our members to take part in exciting surveys on a wide range of erotic topics. Would you like to round off your editorial contribution with a survey on a specific topic? Get in touch with us.

“How did you actually plan out your program?”
“Among other things I went on dating-sites naturally for research purposes only!” “And what did your research reveal?” “That cheating these days is incredibly easy. You just have to exchange a few messages and you’re off.”
Julius Dreyer with Interview- 11/20/2014 Onlinedating-Experten.de

“ She [a friend] wasn’t having sex with her husband anymore. So she signed up for the site Now she has three lovers […] She’s satisfied. And according to her, so is her unsuspecting husband.”
“… Since my partner and I like to have spectators during sex, we go on the site to find other couples who are also into parking lot sex, and by early evening things are on a roll.”

“Was it the Langwedeler CDU MP Andreas Mattfeldt (41) or a malicious coworker perhaps? Did he not know that by clicking the Like button would promote a link to the site? Or is he the victim of an internet hacker who wanted to play a cruel joke on him? One thing is certain: the deputy’s Facebook page said that he, like 919 others, likes the website “Popcorn.Dating – Free Hookups with Video Chat and Erotic Forum””
By Jörg Blech 3/2/2009 Spiegel.de:
“… The Internet, from its very creation, has seen great enthusiasm for building communities; everything from roleplay guilds to international emu breeders. But its power goes beyond discussing common interests. It’s about friendship, connectedness, the very core of the social.”
By Katja Kullman 1/1/2009EMMA
“… All was going smoothly and without fanfare – perfect! Especially for the wife! Especially for you! One needs to find out whether one is looking for a “professional” or a “private” partner, and then look through photos for the right type. It’s best to go on brief first dates with a number of candidates. “

“… Wet women and hard men now have a hot place to meet up: Popcorn.Dating. PD is like the Schnaps of hookup sites: it’s not just for sipping, it’s for swallowing…”

“… “That’s kind of more than a one night stand, but less than an affair. The young hookup generation lives by the motto: are you still chatting or can we fuck already?” …”

“… or the very straightforward, there is P oppen.de or AdultFriendFinder, where for a confirmation that I am at least 18, I can see pictures of attractive pornstars in flesh-colored panoramas. …”
