Hooked on Hook-ups

A large percentage of the gay male community has become enamored with hook-up apps—and most of us have at least one of those apps active on our smart phones. We have grown to rely on apps like Grindr, Scruff, Adam-4-Adam, Sniffies and so many others for an easy path to connecting with other gay and bisexual men. Finding a sexual encounter has become easier than ever before. But at what cost? Apps have replaced the concept of cruising in bars or parks to find a sexual encounter. Many of us allow these apps to control our behavior and our self-worth. And many have become addicted to the hook-up culture. So, it begs the question. Are these apps making things better for us or worse? In our July episode, we take a closer look at some of our behaviors, mannerisms and idiosyncrasies when it comes to hook-up apps in an attempt to develop healthier habits with the apps we use. Is that even possible? Find out in the July episode of GayPrime.
