How do you stay safe when using dating apps to meet guys for sex?

How do you stay safe when using dating apps to meet guys for sex? I posted this in r/sex first but my account is still kinda new so it got held for mod approval and hasn't shown up. I'm 23f, still a virgin and honestly getting impatient about it. I've been thinking about just meeting someone through Tinder or Bumble for a one time thing, probably at their place since I can't host. But I live with my mom in a pretty sketchy city where stuff happens and I'm nervous about going to a stranger's house alone. I have the basics down like condoms and telling a friend my location, but my friend is across the country right now so that doesn't help much. I also have to hide everything from my mom because she's super strict and would flip if she found out. I can't get my own place for at least a couple more years either. Is there a safer way to do this without waiting forever or paying for something I'm not comfortable with? Relationships aren't really what I'm looking for right now. Mini vent: it's exhausting having to keep lube and stuff buried in my bag all the time and worrying she'll go through my phone or packages. Any tips would help.

How to grind in cowgirl position?

How to grind in cowgirl position? 23F here and I’m trying to learn how to grind my hips properly when I’m on top for my bf instead of just bouncing. It feels like it should be more of a back and forth motion but I’m not sure how to do it right without getting tired fast. Can’t find any good tutorials anywhere. If anyone can help, please do.
