Grindr
“You gay bro?”
“Nah just here to network”
Who’s on it? Lots of people. Grindr is international, and guys apply it to network and chat as often as they use it to actually facilitate a hang up. At the very least it’s a fantastic way to figure out if that guy at the gym is homosexual or not.
Best for? Scoping out the scene in a new town, flirting for weeks with someone you’ll never meet, getting catfished.
Downsides? Upgrading to Grindr Unlimited is a jaw dropping TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE DOLLARS per year, money which could alternatively go towards...I don’t know a plane ticket somewhere cool? Like, 75 separate OnlyFans subscriptions? A very welcome donation to the charity of your choice?
Sniffies
“looking?”
“yeah”
“come over”
Who’s on it? Sniffies is a pretty mixed crowd. DL, bi, married, and curious guys are drawn to Sniffies because it’s easy to be as anonymous as they’d appreciate . It’s also easy to find glory holes and cruising locales for a quick hook up. Kinksters and horndogs are
Poppers
What's the Score?
Poppers are also known as: amyl/butyl/isobutyl nitrite, amyl (especially in Australia, where it's promounced 'ammul'), aromas and by brand names love Liquid Gold, Rush, etc. They're often (but wrongly) called 'nitrates', which is a similar, but distinct chemical.
Poppers are a liquid made from chemicals from the alkyl nitrite family. The name comes from the days when they came in glass capsules that popped when broken open.
Sex on Poppers
Poppers can produce you feel horny, reduce your inhibitions and build orgasms feel stronger. Because they relax the sphincter (the muscle in the arse hole) poppers can make it easier to be fucked or fisted. They can cause a man to lose his hard-on too.
Research shows poppers might play an important role in HIV being passed on. The reasons could be:
- poppers can lower inhibitions, making unsafe sex more likely
- there's a bigger chance of the arse bleeding (poppers expand blood vessels inside the arse)
- and/or poppers might make the immune system weaker for a short time, so that people are more open to infection.
It's thought the biggest peril of HIV being transfer

How Sniffies Saved Cruising
“Is this a Grindr thing?”
A gal answers her door in curlers. The man knocking tries to explain: He’s supposed to be rendezvous up with someone from a, uh, “guy on guy” ad. He’s been given the wrong mention , apparently, and his intended “guy”—one who advertised himself as having a penchant for being on the receiving end of many other guys—is instead a perplexed woman with no intention of hosting. To add to the confusion, the “Grindr thing” was actually a botched meeting facilitated by something called … Sniffies. This cringetastic interaction—which the woman in curlers filmed—now has over 7 million views on TikTok. And understandably, it has prompted the unenlightened commentariat to inquire: What the fuck is Sniffies?
Today, Sniffies is a web-based app for men looking for sex with other men, often in widespread spaces—what traditionalists would phone “cruising.” The site actually started as an underwear trading platform, but in 2018, founder Blake Gallagher repurposed the website into a literal heat guide for men of the liking-men persuasion.* Manhattan, for example, appears as a blue city grid speckled with circles: Some are profiles of cruisers, whi
