Anticipating touch: Haptic geographies of Grindr encounters in Newcastle‐upon‐Tyne, UK

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This paper explores the haptic geographies of embodied, material, and spatial anticipations of offline erotic encounters that Grindr users have in their homes. I explore how touch and place are co-constituted, arguing that men who use Grindr are learning how to negotiate their erotic Grindr practices through anticipations, identities, and the places that encounters are situated.
