It's easy to think all dating apps are the same. Can you really tell the difference between Bumble and Tinder well, other than woman making the first move? That's why I was so intrigued by Feeld. Known as the kink-friendly dating app for the open-minded, Feeld is on a mission to elevate the human experience of sexuality and relationships. And yes, that's a fluffy way of saying Feeld is all about exploring your sexuality in a safe way. Through paired couple accounts, kink-positive profiles, and over 20 gender and sexuality choices, the Feeld dating app allows people to explore their sexuality or alternative relationship structures, such as polyamory and ethical non-monogamy.
After connecting with others on the app for more than six months, I'm ready to share my honest review of Feeld —including whether I felt safe on the app and how I felt about my connections. Feeld was originally called 3nder back in , and I've since heard it referred to as both "A hookup app for the emotionally mature" and the "Tinder of threesomes.
The app's founders, Ana Kirova and Dimo Trifonov, noticed a lack of exploration features in other dating apps and rose to the solution, creating a space for couples to easily explore either individually or together. With over two million connections created every month, Feeld specifically caters to kinks, fetishes, and various relationship styles. Demi Wylde , sex educator, author, and Feeld user, says Feeld is a more sexy all-around alternative to Tinder, Grindr, or Bumble, which he discovered in passing through his kink and sex educator friends.
This key feature sets Feeld apart from most dating apps—but there are still plenty of singles available to chat as well," he adds. Most Feeld users seem to have found out about the app primarily through word-of-mouth inside the queer, kink, and ethical nonmonogamy ENM communities.
Users from every end of the sex spectrum can be found on Feeld , as options for sexual preferences are considerably vast. The primary demographic on Feeld is between 25 and 35 years old, but I've seen users from in their early 20s up to age According to the bios I've seen, most people use Feeld for kinky hookups, poly exploration, threesomes, and even play-party sourcing.
