Finding people to explore experiences

Unread post by Mark__ys »

Hello, i have always wanted to explore my desires and try new stuff with new people but i don't know where to find the people.
I don't want to just ask random people do they want to be friends with benefits so im asking for help.
Where do u find the people to engage with. (Europe) (More specifically Latvia), are there online communities or something i can find?

Hi there, Mark. There aren't "online communities" in any given place (country or continent) like it sounds like you're thinking for people to hook up in person. There are dating apps as far as digital tools go, and then there are sometimes things in some places like play parties or kink communities, but given you're a minor, all of those things aren't things you can access and use yet.

Generally, the ways we meet people who may become sexual partners are the same ways we meet people in other ways: in the ways we meet people just going about our daily life, at school, through friends, out at parties or other gatherings, and, for some folks, with things like dating or hookup apps or events -- most often in major cities -- meant for dating or hooking up people find out about through sexual or queer community groups.
