Feeld

Like, this, this is absolutely not possible." And they just double...

Feeld just doubled down, and they were like, "No, no, no, not, not gonna reinstate your, your, your account." And I was just like, "Fuck you." Beyond fucking pissed off.

Like, that is just bullshit.

Anyway, I did say something on my Instagram about, I think on my other socials too, about it, and it was crazy the number of people, women, who responded and said, "Hey, this happened to me, too.

Something similar happened, happened to me on Feeld as well." And I was like, "What the fuck? Why is this happening to us?" So anyway, putting this out there, Feeld can eat a bag of dicks.

Go fuck yourselves, fucking idiots.

And for all the butthurt idiot morons who f- fucking love to just report women's profiles because there's something on there that you don't like, go fuck yourselves with some s- little dicks in your ass.

Let me give this a chance." Um, and I was like, you know, "Fuck it," 'cause she, she's sick of the apps.

But, um, so after, like, one regular date that was boring, I just decided I'm gonna do something different.

And someone told me about Feeld, uh, which is an app for, uh, what are they-- They say, like, the, the curious.

Yeah, yeah.

A little bit non-monogamous maybe or just sexually a bit more liberated.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so this is, uh, they had a big article that came out, um, about Feeld in, I guess, New York Magazine.

This was before that.

But it is still obviously a, a type of herpes, and people should be aware of that.

What I meant earlier when I said that people seem to be getting really smart about this, like I've even seen on Feeld people putting in their profile things like, "I have GHSV-1." And what they're saying is, "I have genital HSV type one," and that is such a better way to talk about this than, "I have herpes."

Mm-hmm.

Because somebody might read that, they'll learn more about it themselves, and then they'll say, "Oh, I have, I have oral HSV type one, so we're, we're good.

Right.

I had a doctor tell me that they're virtually interchangeable at this point.

And yes, people on Feeld and sex positive people do tend to know more of this information.

But I have not found that to be the case in the general population.

I was just so excited about, oh, this kind of brave new world where you could just meet people randomly on this new thing called the internet.

And I suppose for me, what's now changed, I mean, I tend to go on the more alternative sites like Feeld and sometimes, you know, for casual connections and things, and-

Have you tried Pure?

No, but people have been talking to me about Pure, actually.

I think that's something I see like all the time.

Even it comes up on like dating apps like Feeld, where you'll-

Yeah

... see someone having like a profile on there.

You know, it's not as stigmatized as it, as it used to be.

You know, I think about even 20 years ago, just y- you think about kink and it's whips and chains and, ooh, something's wrong with you, sort of.

You know, that was the narrative that was being shared, whereas now I feel like- With apps like Feeld, or we've got, like, FetLife-

Yeah

... like, that is the path forward, or we can swap, but no way would I ever go down the path with you with another man.

So when he said yes, I hopped on Feeld [laughs]-

Mm

... and I'd connected with this guy who was so lovely, and he was like, "Yep, I'm really keen to join you guys." And we'd kind of been chatting for a while, and I do wanna r- like, also mention that that week, I'm pretty hectic when it comes to testing.

Yeah.

Yeah, and Feeld.

Which I, which I've tried.

I've tried.

Like, Feeld.

Yeah.

Oh my goodness.

I tried that one too.
