Using Twitter to hook up

[BB4fking]

I’ve been using twitter as something of a ‘sex aid’ since the start of 2019, posting my own pics and seeing other guys’ sex pics. However, in the last year I’ve stepped things up a bit and am using it to make hookups. I’d like to hear about how other guys use twitter to hook up as I’ve had limited success and would like to learn from others as well as share. (As an aside, my twitter handle is @traveller _gay .)

For those unfamiliar with twitter the key thing to remember is that it is not a dating app. Using it to hookup is a stretch, albeit a very rewarding one. The things I mention are done with settings set to sensitive content, so people don’t stumble on gay content generally.

One approach is to post that you’re hosting in some locality and open to contact for guys who want to hookup. This was actually how I first realised twitter had this useful function. I responded to such an invitation and an hour later was being bred in a guy’s apartment. I’ve tried replicating this myself a couple of times when I’ve been visiting at a hotel in another town but so far without success. 

Another approach is to contact followers in a location who you’d like to fuck having seen their own posted content. Of course you have to this with care to avoid appearing to be some anonymous pest of the type that abound on all social media. However, I had my greatest success with this approach. I approached a guy who only posted his own content and there were many bareback videos of high quality of his frequent encounters, most of which appeared to be generated via twitter contacts. I said I’d like to make a video with him when I was in his city. He was up for it. When finally set up he brought a friend and we had a great threesome with me being the bottom and the two tops taking turns to fuck me raw or to operate the camera. 

Ultimately the most successful approach may not be so much to generate individual hookups, where Grindr etc may be easier, but to facilitate a network of fuck buddies since you can follow up with your hookups, posting videos of your sex together, watching their subsequent sexual exploits and them following yours.

id be really interested to hear from other twitter users about how they’ve harnessed twitter for hooking up, what works, what to avoid.

I think twitter is used (relevantly here) in 3 connected ways: to view porn (pull in images), to share porn (push out images) and to enable hookups (connections between some of those who are pushing and pulling). The mechanisms of twitter are varied and may differ between the three with porn viewing being the least intricate. (I use porn as shorthand, a more neutral term might be intimate images, but in this context we are seeking to arouse sexually.)

Porn viewing - all that is required is to view others’ accounts displaying images of interest. If you have more particular interests, such as BB or a fetish, you’ll follow favourite accounts and return to view again. No real interaction required.

Porn sharing - for some reason many of us like to share pictures of our sexual exploits on twitter. However, unless someone follows the account no one will see the pictures much less share them further. So for sharing other techniques are used, principally following accounts of like minded sharers. Also creating curated lists. No great interaction is required but there is scope to increase interaction as desired by commenting on others images etc. The connections will often be global. No one need know anyone’s identity beyond their twitter handle.

Hooking up - this is the area that is less understood and that I would welcome people discussing. It’s a step away from the virtual side of twitter into real world interaction. Because of social taboos around porn, especially porn one has made oneself, these postings are almost always pseudonymous, carried out behind sensitive content settings, it is unlike some other parts of twitter where real world identity is freely disclosed. Also the use for hooking up is not something intended by the platform, unlike say the dating apps and so some improvisation is required (to use an analogy a bit like, say, the way in the real world we cruise in the shopping centre or fuck in public rest rooms, neither of which are intended by design). One difference with the porn uses is that one needs to connect with accounts with the same sexual interests that are local or in a place where one is likely to travel. This is not straightforward to achieve but possible in various ways.
