I support this. Being able to say “side” would help clarify my intentions

This is highly important and liberating for those who are pressured to anal culture!

There are many guys who label themselves as sides who dont prefer anal sex. It's just as bad as someone saying... I wonder who is the man in the gay relationship. I find way more pleasure, enjoyment and intimacy in a side relationship and there is so much more to enjoy in the male body by being a side. I look forward to Seeing this option in your profiles.

Not only does top/bottom limit us to a binary community, it also perpetuates inadequecy traumas on sex performance for guys who do not engage in anal sex.

This is something so very simple to add. Please do so.

YES, yes, yes, yes. Never into anything anal. Please include Oral Only or Side. Thousands of us have stopped using Grindr cuz it's just about top and bottom anal, nothing else.

This is something that I have been wanting for over a decade on this app. Please add this very simple feature fix. A very large percent of gay and queer folks never even engage in anal sex, and the current display options are extremely limited if we fall into that group.

There's SO much about sex that doesn't require sticking a penis inside someone else's butt. Do the right thing, Grindr devs!

This would be very beneficial. I don’t get off to topping or bottoming, and having side and a definition would be great.

Side would be very helpful. "Oral only" doesn't cut it for that either. Maybe even a '?' icon next to it which links to explain what side really means, would be very beneficial for the entire community as well.

I see there are many people asking for the option to add being a “side” as a choice and I really hope that this can be added due to the fact that it is so difficult and frustrating to try to explain to people over and over your preference if not a top, bottom or verse.

This sounds like an idea who's time is now. It would help those who want a bottom(or top) greatly.

Please add this. Would help me connect with likeminded people.

As someone who finds anal as appealing as scrubbing a toilet bowl, I agree wholeheartedly

I agree ! Thanks for us !

Add SIDE as position. Heteronormative positions are fine but it’s also good to expand :)

I agree with this, I'm a side too and I know a couple of others as well. It's gaining more and more visibility in the community

It would be very interesting if Grindr can add "Side" (Neutro in spanish, or Gouinage in brasilian portuguese) to role selection. It refers to men that enjoy practically every sexual practice aside from anal penetration of any kind.

I just think that people like myself, who don’t enjoy anal sex as either a top or a bottom, should have the option of listing themselves as a “side” under “Position.”

That way it might eliminate the conversation that inevitably follows “U top or bottom!”

I say might: Let’s be honest, few people actually read profiles and even then, they’ll probably just ask “what does side mean.” But least it might help raise awareness of it, especially for those who have anal sex because they believe they should when in reality they might not actually enjoy it.

“Sides” prefer to kiss, hug and engage in oral sex, rimming, mutual masturbation and rubbing. These men enjoy practically every sexual practice aside from anal penetration. Unfortunately this category is currently excluded on Grindr and it’s unfair to all sides like myself. Engagement in penetrative sex doesn’t define me and all other people alike
