What are geosexual archetypes?

A geosexual archetype is a pattern that describes how someone seeks sex, focusing particularly on where someone has sex.

In the summer of 2016, we conducted 31 interviews with guys who have sex with guys in Toronto. With their help, we reconstructed their sexual network over the past 3 months, including details about where, when, and with whom they had sex. Based on the data, we came up with 7 geosexual archetypes that represent the places guys have sex. Lets see which one represents you!


Hosters

AKA: Sex at your home only

As implied in the name, you prefer to host sex in the comfort of your own home. Privacy during sex is important to you, but you are willing to invite your partners into your little world. After all, what’s more intimate than letting someone see your private areas?


Privates

AKA: Sex at your home or sex at partner’s home

For you, privacy during sex is paramount. It doesn’t matter whether play happens at your house or your partner’s – either way, you work best when you’re inside. Besides, isn’t a little change of scenery nice now and again?


Housecallers

AKA: Sex at your partner’s home only

YOU want the house tour! Whether out of concern for privacy from roommates, or a desire to play in new spaces, you prefer to have sex at your partners’ place. “You host?” is your signature phrase, and your love language is acts of service (the act is you getting in a car and driving to your partner’s place, even if its far!).


Traveller

AKA: Sex at partner’s place or sex at public venues

For you, play rarely happens at home. You’re more likely to be at your partner’s place, meeting guys at the bathhouse, or cruising in the park. Movement is part of finding new and exciting experiences for you. You like it when they make you work for it.


Rover

AKA: Sex at public venues only

Like a wandering lone wolf, you prefer to explore the wilds beyond your den. Likewise, public venues, such as parks, stairwells and alleyways make up the majority of spaces where you find your excitement. As long as you can remain camouflaged under the trees, you’re satisfied. The mystery is part of the thrill!


Siren

AKA: Sex at your place or sex at public venues

Like the mythological creature, you summon your partners to meet you wherever you are, including public venues or your own home. It’s rare that you venture into the spaces of others, and you’re okay with that. As the old adage goes, you don’t chase – you attract <3


Geoflexible

AKA: Sex anywhere

In your case, sexual spaces can take any shape. Whether at your place, your partners’ place, or a public space, all that matters is that you’re having a good time. The whole world is a bedroom!
