JOYclubOur review.

What JOYclub is

JOYclub is the big German sex-positive community — and in 2026 it's one of the largest open-minded networks in Europe. On the French homepage checked on 28 Oct 2026 it claims 7,480,157 members and 1,117,345 logins in the last 24 hours. It's not just a hookup site: you get dating search by region, erotic events and clubs, member livestreams, forums, groups, photo and video galleries, sex chat, a magazine and "Sex Education" content. Singles, couples, trans members, swinger clubs and kink lovers all have their place. Think of it as Wyylde's big German cousin, with an events calendar it calls "the biggest in the German-speaking world".

How it feels

JOYclub is busy. The homepage alone links to dates, events, clubs, livestreams, forum, groups, galleries, chat and magazine — it's closer to a social network for sex than to a dating app. That's its strength: you can lurk in forums, follow a couple's livestream, join a group about your kink, then book a party at a club. The community has real rules (verification, no pros), which keeps fakes and escorts down compared with the big American hookup sites.

The downside is the learning curve: lots of menus, lots of features, and an events scene that's strongest in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In France it works, but the local events listing won't be as dense as on Wyylde.

Pricing: web beats app

Buy on the website, not in the app. Men pay from €16.50/month for Premium on the web (Premium-Light from €9.50), while the JOYCE app charges €20 for a month or €179.99 for a year. Women and couples have it easy: free Basic, free Plus after verification, Premium from €9.50/month. If you hate auto-renewals, pay 6 months by bank transfer — it ends on its own.

Pros

• 7.48 million members, 1.1 million logins a day
• Much more than dating: events, clubs, livestreams, forums
• Free Basic; free Plus for verified women and couples
• German company, no ads in the app, no escorts allowed
• Bank-transfer option with no auto-renewal

Cons

• Men pay to really play (Premium from €16.50/month)
• App prices higher than the web (€20/month)
• Events concentrated in German-speaking countries
• Busy interface, takes time to learn

Who it's for

JOYclub is for open-minded singles and couples who want a real community — events, swinger clubs, livestreams and kink groups — not just swipes. For the biggest French libertine scene, Wyylde is still the reference; for a French app, Nouslib; for kink first, FetLife; for couples and singles on mobile, Feeld. Compare them in our Wyylde vs JOYclub vs Nouslib guide, our best swinger sites and the adult dating ranking.

Verdict

7.9/10. The most complete sex-positive community we've reviewed: millions of members, real rules, events and livestreams on top of dating, and fair prices if you buy on the web. Men will need Premium, and French users get fewer local events than in Germany — but as a second network next to Wyylde, it's excellent.
