10 Queer Men Discuss Sex, Desire, and Connection During COVID
As COVID-19 spreads and the future seems more threatening than ever before, we noticed a change. Our LGBTQ+ friends reported that borders seemed to shift, change shape, and even disappear. A group of humans so consumed by passion are finding new ways of communicating while social distancing.
With sex and desire forced to stay under lockdown, the room was made for real conversations that seemed to bolster our sense of community. We assembled a virtual study using real dating apps and talked to people from all around the globe, trying to come to an understanding of how this change looks and feels.
