I’ve been single for a while and have been holding out until I find someone, but it’s taking a while to find the right person. I am dying to have sex lol. I want to get on the apps and hook up. Is this at odds with real dating? I guess I do have this fear that I’m going to lose the motivation to date deeper. Or sex with my person won’t be as good if I have been hooking up.

I’d love to start using Grindr again but have this (probably unhealthy) paranoia that people are going to screenshot my profile pics and search for me, maybe cyberstalking, etc. I have PTSD from several years ago when someone did that and attempted blackmail with my naked pics. I had to spend $10,000 to a private security firm to get them to find the guy and scare him away. I know you can’t screenshot naked pics anymore (and would never give my phone number out like last time.
But I still worry about just losing all anonymity, as how you can really find anyone’s info in like 3 clicks. Curious if anybody has found a way to deal with this risk that makes them feel comfortable.

Similar to Uncut by Kinetic in DC? Or any bars that consistently have play rooms set up?
