    Archives of Sexual Behavior https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-021-01921-0 ORIGINAL PAPER Geosocial Networking Apps Use Among Sexual Minority Men in Ecuador: An Exploratory Study Carlos Hermosa‑Bosano1 · Paula Hidalgo‑Andrade1 · Clara Paz1 Received: 20 June 2020 / Revised: 4 January 2021 / Accepted: 15 January 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Geosocial networking applications (GSN apps) have become important socialization contexts for sexual minority men (SMM). Despite their popularity, there is limited research carried out in Latin American countries and no single previous study done in Ecuador. To fll this gap, this exploratory study described and analyzed the relationships between the sociodemographic charac- teristics of SMM using GSN apps, their sought and fulflled expectations, profle shared and sought characteristics, and the evalu- ation of their experiences as users including their perceptions of support, and discrimination. We used an online recruited sample of 303 participants enrolled between November 2019 and January 2020. Most respondents used Grindr and reported spending up to 3 h per day using apps. Most common sought expectations were getting distracted, meeting new friends, and meeting people for sexual encounters. The least met expectation was meeting someone to build a romantic relationship with. When asked about their profles, participants reported sharing mainly their age, photographs, and sexual role. Participants also prioritized these characteristics when looking at others’ profles. When asked about their experiences, most reported having been discriminated against, weight being the main reason for it. Some participants also indicated having received emotional support from other users. Correlation analyses indicated signifcant but weak relationships among the variables.

  • Surveillance, Stigma & Sociotechnical Design For
    1 First Monday Surveillance, Stigma & Sociotechnical Design for HIV Calvin Liang1*, Jevan Hutson2*, and Os Keyes1 Abstract Online dating and hookup platforms have fundamentally changed peoples day-to-day practices of sex and love—but exist in tension with older social and medicolegal norms. This is particularly the case for people with HIV, who are frequently stigmatized, surveilled, ostracized and incarcerated because of their status. Efforts to make intimate platforms work for HIV frequently focus on user- to-user interactions and disclosure of ones HIV status but elide both the structural forces at work in regulating sex and the involvement of the state in queer lives. In an effort to foreground these forces and this involvement, we analyze the approaches that intimate platforms have taken in designing for HIV disclosure through a content analysis of 49 current platforms. We argue that the implicit reinforcement of stereotypes about who HIV is or is not a concern for, along with the failure to consider state practices when designing for data disclosure, opens up serious risks for HIV-positive and otherwise marginalized people. While we have no panacea for the tension between disclosure and risk, we point to bottom-up, communal, and queer approaches to design as a way of potentially making that tension easier to safely navigate.

  • Exploring the Mediatization of Gay Cruising in the Philippines Randy Jay
    Cruising Through Spaces: Exploring the Mediatization of Gay Cruising in the Philippines Randy Jay. C. Solis The emergence of new communications technologies has provided a new space for initiating ro- mantic and sexual relationships among gays who perceive social and physical places to be a traditional space that largely promotes connection among heterosexuals. Now, mobile networking applications like Grindr have made it easier for gay men to “cruise” and meet other men, and are seen to lead to the increasing number of sexual partners, being exposed to risks like sexually transmitted infections (STI), among others. Thus this study, framed within the theory of Mediatization – which critically analyzes the dialectic process in which both media and communications on one hand, and culture and society on the other, mutually shape and change each other in an interactional process – explores the question: How have gays’ way of cruising, or the initiation of romantic or sexual relations (among others), in the Philip- pines been mediatized across history? Keywords: mediatization, gay cruising, gay men, gay technologies, gay spaces, Philippines It was the first weekend of September 2016 when a friend and I attended a common friend’s photo exhibit held at the Philippine Consulate in Hong Kong. My friend Tony and I were introduced to Barbie, a transwoman academic based in Hong Kong. As soon as we were done with the preliminary introductions, Barbie asked my friend: “So, have you turned on your Grindr or Tinder in our university yet?” Tony replied: “Oh yes! On Tinder, I usually get messages from the “daddies” here. They must think I’m a “twink”.” I just shook my head, waiting for them to say more.

  • Master's Programme 'Entertainment Communication
    Running Head: ONLINE DATING AND RACISM 1 Master’s programme ‘Entertainment communication’ Master’s Thesis How racist is the online dating space? A qualitative investigation of experiences related to race discrimination on online dating apps among Black and Asian emerging adults from the ages of 18 to 25 Student: Mila Ganijun Student number: 11749784 Supervisor: Sindy R. Sumter Date of completion: 31.01.2020 Word count: 7,623 ONLINE DATING AND RACISM 2 Abstract As online dating is becoming increasingly popular among emerging adults, it becomes relevant to research their experiences while dating online. The current study specifically focuses on Black and Asian emerging adults and the obstacles they face while dating online due to their race. The study was conducted among Black and Asian emerging adults (aged 18- 25) who participated in in-depth interviews. The results suggest five main themes when it comes to the experiences Black and Asian emerging adults face: treated as other, lack of knowledge of the majority group, race as a disadvantage, the online disinhibition effect and coping mechanisms. To sum up, it was an even split between those who would categorize their overall online dating experiences as positive and those who would categorize them as negative. However, even those that reported their overall experience to be positive – reported facing obstacles due to their race. Notably, the findings call for further research on online dating when it comes to people of color as well as including the skin color factor (colorism). Keywords: racism, Asian emerging adults, Black emerging adults, online dating ONLINE DATING AND RACISM 3 How racist is the online dating space? A qualitative investigation of experiences related to race discrimination on online dating apps among Black and Asian emerging adults from the ages of 18 to 25 Introduction In today’s society, Black and Asian people still face discrimination in the work, academic and social sphere (e.g., Hahn, Truman, & Williams, 2018; Hunter, 2007; Verma & Mallick, 2017).
