A few people have asked me to comment on the topic of fetishizing people of color on dating apps such as Grindr. So I decided to make this my next topic on the Grindr Survivr podcast.
I discuss my two (seemingly obvious) questions you can ask someone to determine whether someone online is interested in getting to know you as a person or whether they are fetishizing you as sex object.
Although it may seem obvious, in the context of chatting to someone you find attractive, some times these questions feel too intrusive or you may be fearful of looking "too sensitive" or "too PC." So I also discus some ways on how you can make it seem more organic and/or more polite.
But I promise you it's better to find these issues out sooner rather than later.
