LGBTQ DATING

1. What are your thoughts on Her Dating?

I think it is a good way of dating exploration. It helps understand more about relationship dynamics and varied partners. An individual also gets the chance to know more about their bodies; desires, and needs. Also, one gets to learn their likes and dislikes.

 2. Would you recommend it to your clients?

Definitely, yes. I highly support this type of dating to reduce expectations on gender roles and stereotypes. Furthermore, my intention for recommending it is to encourage individuals who are still hiding their identity to realize their value in life.

3. What are some alternative ways to meet someone?

I recommend the tips below;

Face timing

I always tell my clients to start with video calling to confirm their date’s appearance before meeting in physical. You may wait for the in-person date, only to realize that you are not into this person. Therefore, a video-meeting in advance may be helpful.

Find you most favorable apps

Go for apps with your gender preference. If you are looking to have a relationship, I recommend Bumble or Chappy. Hinge or Tinder will be meaningful if you want more users with a similar interest. You can use Feeld if threesomes and polyamorous are your needs.

4. Any tips for someone dating in the LGBTQ community?

  • If you love sex, attend sex parties; you can check online to notice any parties in your local area.
  • If you want to add a third to your relationship, ensure your shared life is fulfilling; perhaps start the conversation by disclosing your fantasies and allow them to share theirs.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
