Essentially, it was a fetish app. People used it to explore connections based on kinks, but also for less traditional types of romantic partnerships like polyamory.<\/p>\n<p>Feeld was founded in 2014 by graphic designer and entrepreneur Dimo Trifonov. He and his partner, Ana Kirova \u2013 the current CEO of Feeld \u2013 wanted to explore opening their relationship but found that there were no existing platforms that met their needs. So, Trifonov mocked up Feeld and it became an overnight success, pegged as a \u2018space where like-minded people can challenge norms around gender, sexuality, and dating.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;fp-in-article-bold&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what Feeld users say about the experience:<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s the Feeld users reviews we trust most when it comes to whether or not Feeld is worth downloading.

It&#8217;s a platform where you can express yourself sexually at all levels without being judged and where you can also meet people to make your sexual fantasies a reality.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Since using Feeld, I realised I\u2019m bisexual and I\u2019ve become a lot more sex positive since which has been very liberating,\u2019 Grace continues. \u2018The best thing about it has been getting to know two new female friends who are on a similar journey to mine. We now go out clubbing and to kink events together and have great chats about sex and life in general! I also had a tantric sex session that left me with a big smile on my face for a week! The worst thing though, is all those pesky under 40 straight males who are looking to tick the \u201ccougar box\u201d. Also, the app can be quite glitchy and customer service slow and patchy, which can be frustrating! But I do I think they are trying to fix this.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;fp-in-article-bold&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Chloe*, 25, bisexual: \u2018It\u2019s much more transparent and upfront than other dating apps\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I heard about Feeld from a local influencer I follow on Instagram who said that it was a refreshing and more inclusive dating app, at the time I was fed up with other dating apps and heard that this one was different, so I thought that I\u00b4d give it a go. Feeld is quite an alternative dating app that allows for users to look for, and connect with, pretty much any type of person that they like. It also caters for people who enjoy different styles of dating or relationships, specifically in non-monogamy. There is also space for users to express their specific interests and desires when it comes to sex, such as including various kinks. In this way, it is very transparent and encouraging of people to be up front about what they are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For me, Feeld has been more than a dating app,\u2019 Chloe continues. \u2018Through talking to people on Feeld and learning about various different relationship styles I became curious about meeting couples and exploring non-monogamy. I now identify as pan-sexual and polyamorous and have a vast network of very close, intimate friends and partners who I have met directly and indirectly through Feeld! The best thing about it is the honesty and openness about what people are looking for, the worst thing is that it is slightly glitchy!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;fp-in-article-bold&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Harriet*, 28, queer trans femme: \u2018The majority of people aren\u2019t looking for forgettable hook-ups\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When I decided to download Feeld, I was just post break up and one of the reasons It ended was because I was interested in exploring the polyamorous and kink scenes and my partner was not. I was told it was very much the place to start if you were intrigued by all that! I would say it&#8217;s the raunchier cooler cousin of the other dating apps. I think it&#8217;s more mindfully or consciously sexy though. The majority of people aren&#8217;t just looking for forgettable hook-ups. It&#8217;s for people who are into a more sexually alternative and liberated lifestyle, or for those keen to explore that, or just curious.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I mean it&#8217;s still a dating app, so it comes with a lot of the normal frustrations and irritations of that,\u2019 Harriet continues. \u2018Like people ghosting, peculiar and unreasonably horny men, plus app fatigue. But generally, people are better communicators and clearer about what they want. The best thing is the openness and the way it connects you to a scene of interesting and sexy people. The worst thing is the occasional glitch and the unreasonably horny men &#8211; but no dating app is free of them and it&#8217;s better on that front that Tinder, holy hell.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018As a trans person as well, dating can be hard &#8211; a lot of people write you off without a second thought, some people don&#8217;t know what transness is and apps are a terrible place to have that conversation. There&#8217;s a lot of trans folks on there and none of the people I&#8217;ve interacted with have been weird about it. They are educated and respectful on the whole. Sexual desire and sexuality generally are very shamed among trans people, a lot of us grow up thinking we are monstrous for having a sex drive so an open and educated space where people aren&#8217;t judged for their desires has been a really affirming place to explore that part of myself and I&#8217;ve learned a lot.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;fp-in-article-bold&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca*, 30, bisexual: &#8216;I met my boyfriend on Feeld&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I downloaded Feeld after my 8-and-a-half-year relationship ended. We broke up because we were quite sexually incompatible and he never wanted to have sex with me, so I was very sexually frustrated. A friend told me about Feeld, and it sounded exactly what I was looking for. Hinge was far too serious and for those looking for a relationship. I just wanted to be fun, free and play out single experiences I never had in my 20s! created a profile under a pseudonym and within six months, I received 14k \u2018likes\u2019. To say it caught my attention was an understatement. I went on a string of back-to-back Feeld dates predominantly with guys (and one girl) with the main objective to being open to new experiences. I matched with my now boyfriend a year ago, named \u2018Apollo\u2019 on the app, and the basis of our relationship was \u2018friends with benefits\u2019 or FWB. We ended up developing feelings for each other and we\u2019ve now been officially together for six months.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018My most memorable date was probably a second date with an Irish guy called Rob,\u2019 Rebecca continues. \u2018He gave me a vibrator in a pub and asked me to put it on in the bathroom. When I came back, he controlled it via his phone for the rest of the evening at different speeds and rhythms. It was fun and I\u2019d never been on a date like it! Of course, it\u2019s important to be aware of your boundaries. It can be a great place for sexual and personal discovery, but it\u2019s important to know what works for you and what doesn\u2019t. In my experience, most of the people I met on there were very respectful, and I ended up having much better dates on Feeld than the other apps! I was very happy single and met my current boyfriend without expecting it. I feel fortunate to have enjoyed all my experiences on Feeld and I hope other women do too!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;fp-in-article-bold&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Anna, 29, heterosexual: &#8216;Feeld is like Deliveroo for sex, minus the cash!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I used to joke that Feeld was basically Deliveroo for sex, minus the cash, obviously. In a nutshell, it&#8217;s a dating app that goes beyond dating, kink, open relationships, casual sex, the whole shebang. And people openly state what they&#8217;re looking for in their profiles, cutting through the awkward &#8220;what is this?&#8221; chat. Honestly, it felt liberating to be so upfront about my sexuality. But I actually deleted Feeld after a few months of having it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I loved the curiosity it evoked in me, but I struggled not to feel objectified or pigeonholed,\u2019 Anna continues. \u2018Most of the men I encountered ran before they could walk with me. In my books, good sex is mental and emotional just as much as it is physical, regardless of how casual the encounter is. When men jump the gun and assume I&#8217;m going to sleep with them after &#8220;Hey&#8221;, I don&#8217;t bother because I know there is a 0% chance I&#8217;ll have an orgasm or feel good after having sex with somebody who treats our meet-up as transactional. On the other hand, some guys thought I was hiding that I wanted to get married, mortgaged, and become a human Easy-Bake oven! That said, Feeld takes the crown compared to other dating apps as far as direct communication is concerned.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;fp-in-article-bold&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Black Han Sans|||on|||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Verity*, 32, heterosexual: &#8216;The majority of guys I&#8217;ve dated haven&#8217;t been straight&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I downloaded Feeld after a decade-long relationship ended and the last thing I needed was to find another boyfriend. I wanted the freedom to explore new things and connect with guys I wouldn\u2019t necessarily introduce to my friends, but with whom I could have a lot of fun. I was also intrigued by the BDSM\/kink world, ethical non-monogamy, tantra, and alternative sexualities. It was a no-brainer: my friends all universally recommended Feeld as the first app I should download. My first impression was \u201cWhat are all these acronyms?!\u201d I actually made myself a little note on my phone to keep track of all the phrases and acronyms. I thought I knew a lot from reading Dan Savage\u2019s sex advice column since I was a teen, but there was a steep learning curve! I now know what DD\/lg means (for me: a hard limit &#8211; \u2018Daddy Dom\/little girl\u2019 is just not my kink).<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I was also pleasantly surprised by the number of straight-presenting guys who\u2026aren\u2019t,\u2019 Verity continues. \u2018It feels like the whole world is waking up to a lot more avenues of pleasure and getting past homophobia. While I (sadly) remain straight, the majority of the guys I\u2019ve dated have been bisexual, bi-curious, and heteroflexible, which is super-hot. Dating on Feeld has been incredibly fun and positive. I\u2019ve even made a couple of good friends from some \u2018failed\u2019 dates. Feeld feels like a big secret: if you know, you know.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Sure, there are accounts with faceless men showing off their abs who are just there for a hook-up. But I swipe past &#8211; I\u2019m looking for more. I connect with guys with nicely written descriptions, who are obviously there to meet people inside the ethical non-monogamy space, and who want to explore different aspects of sexuality. The only negatives have been the occasional ghost, and being catfished once &#8211; which my girlfriends regularly experience on the mainstream apps, too. I think Feeld is far and away superior to other dating apps &#8211; it\u2019s way more authentic. By being so vulnerable and sharing up front what your sexual desires (and sometimes even kinks) are, right on your profile, you already have a baseline to work with. Everyone is so much more open and communicative.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Meanwhile, the guys on Hinge and Bumble don\u2019t even read your profile. I laughed because at one point I\u2019d gotten 4-5 \u201cHow\u2019s your day\/weekend been?\u201d messages from different dudes. How original.
