It was the same routine every month: Yann (the people cited by their first names did not want to share their last names), a 29 -year -old Parisian sustainable development manager, would decide to eliminate Grindr from his phone, who has, Whish has a living room, has a living room, has a living room, has, has, has, has, has, one night, among gay men. “I know it’s not good for me, but it’s as if I couldn’t help back to him,” he said. Yann implies the use of Grindr at age 18, moving through its grid of profiles that show a myriad of naked torsos and participating in direct, open and raw interactions. It is an ocean of possibilities, in which young men are immersed with enthusiasm, to the point of gradually getting hours through the afternoons moving and starting conversations boxes. The game consists of “putting hot” as quickly as possible, before a potential sexual connection of express speed, which takes place in “scenarios that are always the same.”
“Recently, I realized how much it shapes my fantasies,” Yann Confede. When he found his first long -term relationship at age 28, Grindr’s influence weighed his intimate life. “In 10 years of Grindr connections, I have equated sex with something fast and brut, rooted in domination or submission, with roles defined by physical appearance, similar to what you see in porn and it seems that I cannot free myself from it,” he said.
Yann was happy with his partner and would have liked to put aside the application, but never managed to do it. “I would secretly start session to start conversations. I never get used to knowing anyone in real life, but I needed those peaks of emotion,” he admitted. Now identifies the need as an “addiction”, and affected its relationship. “After that break, I told Myelf that I ended up with Grindr. But then loneliness returned,” he explained. “I don’t go much to homosexual bars; I don’t feel comfortable there, so it is difficult to meet people without it.”
