Thirst: Community and Events 1.5.2

This text captures the essence of the Thirst platform, which is currently operating as an invite-only service tailored for the Los Angeles community. For those interested in extending Thirst to their own locality, a request can be submitted at: thirst.social/request.

What do you Thirst for?

Thirst serves as a unique social network, providing users the opportunity to express their authentic selves. It encourages exploration of personal interests, education on pleasure, and connection with others who share similar passions. The application is free to download and use, with optional premium features available through subscription.

Thirst for community

Moving beyond traditional swiping mechanisms, Thirst emphasizes a community-focused approach rather than acting solely as a dating app. Users can discover events, participate in groups, and engage with new friends. The platform allows sharing of various content types, including photos, videos, text posts, polls, and links that reflect individual interests.

Thirst for pleasure

Thirst embraces diverse expressions of pleasure and curiosity. Users are encouraged to share personal experiences related to sexuality, whether posting adventurous photographs or seeking advice on sexual health. Detailed guidelines on acceptable content can be found at: thirst.social/ground-rules.

Thirst for IRL connection

The platform aims to enhance face-to-face interactions. Users can identify and connect with individuals they may have noticed at events, fostering deeper relationships both online and offline.

Thirst for sweet and spicy content

In addition to celebrating provocative content, Thirst also welcomes images that reflect everyday joys—be it pets, plants, or home decor victories. The platform recognizes that pleasure encompasses a wide range of experiences.

Thirst for consent

Central to Thirst's operations is a commitment to the principles of active consent—ensuring interactions are ongoing, mutual, and freely given. Users have control over who can follow or message them and can report any instances of harassment to the moderation team.

Thirst for Pride

As a platform founded by queer individuals, Thirst takes pride in its inclusive nature, welcoming all identities and expressions—be it lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, straight, trans, non-binary, gender-fluid, or cisgender.

Thirst for relationship anarchy

Thirst advocates for relationship anarchy in all its forms—whether monogamous or polyamorous. The community ethos is influenced by Andie Nordgren's "The short instructional manifesto for relationship anarchy."

For event organizers and community builders:

Create a space tailored to your community's needs by establishing guidelines on visibility and participation. Utilize features such as public and private event pages connected to your community nodes. Encourage attendees to engage actively by sharing media from events while linking back to ticket sales or organizational sites.
