Sigo daqui com a expectativa de que consigamos viver, sob normas sociais menos sufocantes, dias mais felizes... *** Não se deve fazer divisão binária entre o que se diz e o que não se diz; é preciso tentar determinar as diferentes maneiras de não dizer, como são distribuídos os que podem e os que não podem falar, que tipo de discurso é autorizado ou que forma de discrição é exigida a uns e outros. Michel Foucault O que causa o problema não é o desejo homossexual, é o medo da homossexualidade. Guy Hocquenghem O desejo do macho, explicitado neste circuito, permite iluminar obscuros entramados que dispõem a produção e reprodução, a recriação, de um modo de dominação sociossexual. Néstor Perlongher *** RESUMO O segredo é a alma do negócio: mídias digitais móveis e a gestão da visibilidade do desejo homoerótico entre homens na região de São Carlos Esta dissertação deseja compreender o uso estratégico que homens do interior de São Paulo fazem das mídias digitais móveis visando criar relações com outros homens em segredo. Meu campo toma como base a cidade de São Carlos, localizada na região central do Estado, e foca no uso de aplicativos de busca para parceiros amorosos e sexuais por homens com idade entre 18 e 60 anos. Em diálogo com a Teoria Queer, os estudos brasileiros sobre sexualidade e outras pesquisas sobre mídias digitais, parto da hipótese de que a dinâmica do segredo que envolve as relações homoeróticas nessa região tem como objetivo manter a segurança nos espaços da família e do trabalho. Associando o trabalho etnográfico às entrevistas, aos dados quantitativos e às fontes sobre o uso das mídias digitais, procuro compreender como o segredo se liga ao acesso à mobilidade interurbana, à localização geográfica, ao estilo de vida, à educação, à renda, à profissão. Considerando o contexto sociotécnico de recepção das mídias, analiso quais deslocamentos e rearranjos no repertório para qualificar o desejo foram possíveis mediante o fluxo de convenções e códigos digitalmente mediados. Palavras-chave: Mídias Digitais. Regimes de Visibilidade. Homossexualidades Masculinas. Segredo. ABSTRACT The secret is the key of business: digital medias and the management of homoerotic desire’s visibility between men in São Carlos’s area. This dissertation wish to comprehend the strategic use of digital and mobile medias by men from countryside of São Paulo state that search for secret relations between men. My field has its base on Sao Carlos’s city, located in the central area of the state, and focus on the use of seeking applications for loving and sexual men partners between 18 and 60 ages. Considering Queer Theory, Brazilian studies of sexuality and other searches about digital medias, I take as hypothesis that the dynamic of secret that involves the homoerotic relations in this area has the objective to preserve the security in spaces such as family and work. Associating the ethnography work to the interviews, quantitative data and sources about use of digital medias, I look for understanding how the secret is connected to the interurban mobility, geographic location, life’s style, education, income and profession. Taking into consideration the social and technical context of medias reception, I analyze which displacements and repertory’s rearrangements to qualify the desire have been possible by means of the conventions and codes flow digitally mediated. Keywords: Digital Medias. Visibility Regimes. Male Homosexuality. Secret.

As mobile penetration continues to grow in India, it is important to understand how self-presentation on GSN app is relevant because it offers insight into a population that has not been largely studied. There is very little information about how Indian MSM discuss their sexual preferences and condom preferences and disclose their human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status with potential sex partners on Web-based platforms.

  • Gay Immigrants and Grindr: Revitalizing Queer Urban Spaces?
    Gay Immigrants and Grindr: Revitalizing Queer Urban Spaces? “Gay Dance Clubs on the Wane in the Age of Grindr,” proclaimed the journalist Michael Musto in the New York Times in 2016. Musto, who has reported on gay life in New York for decades, had noticed a decline in weekly dance parties. In speaking to club promoters and performers, Musto kept hearing the same thing: people would rather meet others via the comfort of their mobile phones than in a gay space. (“Clubs have been usurped by the right swipe”; “Social media changed the landscape of going out”; “Why pay an expensive cover charge and deal with rude bouncers when you can just swipe on your iPhone?” and so forth.) Similarly, a New Orleans bartender told gay reporter Chris Staudinger: “You could ask any bartender in New Orleans whether the apps have affected business in gay bars, and they would all say yes.” Scholarly research has also pointed to Grindr (and related platforms) as troublesome technologies that might obviate the need for urban gay spaces. Grindr (founded 2009) is a smartphone-only platform that allows mostly gay men (and also queer and trans people) to connect to others in their immediate vicinity via private messages. Related geo-social apps include gay platforms like Scruff, Hornet, Growler or Chappy, or the app versions of websites like Gaydar or PlanetRomeo, and mainstream equivalents like Tinder and Happn. These geo-locative platforms challenge the idea that a “gay space” needs to be a physical space distinct from a straight space, since the “grids of the Grindr interface can be overlaid atop any space” (Roth 2016: 441).

  • Social Media in Gay London: Tinder As an Alternative to Hook-Up Apps
    SMSXXX10.1177/2056305116662186Social Media + SocietyMacKee 662186research-article2016 Article Social Media + Society July-September 2016: 1 –10 Social Media in Gay London: Tinder © The Author(s) 2016 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav as an Alternative to Hook-Up Apps DOI: 10.1177/2056305116662186 sms.sagepub.com Freddy MacKee Abstract The article explores how the mobile app Tinder complements dating practices and the wider app ecosystem gay men use in London. Within the local gay community discourse, Tinder is said to be a site where the gay “nice guys” go, rendering the platform as a socially constructed environment where gay men behave in a diametrically opposed way to the normative hyper-sexualized behavior of widespread gay hook-up apps. The research question, therefore, is whether Tinder is in fact a place where these “nice guys” go and where one would find them. Through an ethnographic methodology conducted both online and offline, a case is built on how initial conceptions about the app cannot be fully studied or interpreted without understanding the place it holds among other social networks. Evidence is presented to support the case that gay users of Tinder do, in fact, curate the portrayal of their digital identity to present a considerably less sexualized persona with the hopes of finding dates or a relationship. This, however, does not mean that users refrain from using other platforms in parallel as a way of exploring different subject positions and motivations. Behavior and normativity on Tinder are largely explained both by context and also by the design of the platform, which imports and displays personal data from other social networks.

  • (EMIS-2017): Design and Methods
    Sexuality Research and Social Policy https://doi.org/10.1007/s13178-019-00413-0 European Men-Who-Have-Sex-With-Men Internet Survey (EMIS-2017): Design and Methods Peter Weatherburn1 & Ford Hickson1 & David S. Reid1 & Ulrich Marcus2 & Axel J. Schmidt1,3 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) carry a disproportionate burden of sexually transmitted infections across Europe. Health planners require sexual health needs assessment data to respond appropriately. In addition, surveillance of risk and precaution behaviours in this population enables evaluative judgements of policy responses. The European MSM Internet Survey (EMIS- 2017) aimed to repeat the pan-European online survey on male homosexual behaviour conducted in 2010, both to update information required to plan and monitor health promotion interventions and consolidate harmonisation of existing behavioural surveillance approaches. Our study team collaborated with more than 200 partners from academia, public health and civil society across 50 countries. Starting from our previous EMIS-2010 questionnaire, partners engaged in three rounds of iterative survey development and piloting until the final content was agreed. Transfer to an online survey application was followed by further pre- testing before translation into 32 additional languages, final testing and sign-off. The survey was available to complete online in 33 languages simultaneously from 18 October 2017 to 31 January 2018. Ten international MSM dating mobile apps were paid to send short promotional messages, and national partners promoted the survey via at least another 272 websites and social media accounts. Real-time monitoring of responses facilitated targeted advertising by country and recruitment source.
