After spending much time doing research and painstakingly writing that, I want you to say a big thank you to whoever in your friend group normally writes the chain texts bc this shit was hard 😳🍆👀.

Okay, okay, now back to business. See if you can figure out the theme of the subsection titles.

Send You My Location…

I would say that prior to sharing locations with a new partner, it’s important to focus on communication about expectations of location sharing. It’s good to make sure there’s established trust there before giving someone full access to where you are at all times. But it can be fun to just always know the time and place to come through with a new partner.

It seems the sweet spot for riding the vibe before sharing location was right around 10 weeks! Younger users had a slightly lower average that can maybe be explained by the ubiquity of tracking that has partially desensitized younger people to qualms about location sharing. The popularity of tracking friends, family members, or other loved ones is a big part of young adult culture as it currently stands, and so I think it makes sense that the average was just slightly shorter (still allowing for a couple month trial period before sharing with a new partner). We all underestimated considerably though, so don’t take it personally if a new partner waits longer than 5-6 weeks before location sharing with you, it’s good to err on the cautious side.

Pretty consistent results across identity groups as well, relatively speaking. Lesbian users had a lower average, but not by much. I’m sure there are more factors that go into this, but I think this could once again come down to lesbians not dating men. Bisexual and queer users may prefer some additional time before sharing location with partners due to safety considerations that require more trust built up. But as long as you’re having fun and being safe, share that location. I love checking where all my little sims are throughout the day.

Hot Or Cold

Yes or no? To iced coffee? Are you in or are you out? Let’s see where sapphics fell on this one, shall we?

Results were a little up and down across age groups. Older sapphics preferred iced coffee a little bit less, though iced coffee lovers were still the majority. Maybe this is a younger person’s fad. Like years ago having an iced coffee wouldn’t have made as much sense since the average global temperature was lower. Whatever the reason, all we know is that sapphics are so HOT 🔥🥵🔥 that not even iced coffee 🧊🫘🥤can 🆒 you down 😎✌️

Results were a little bit more stable across identity groups, but queer users were a little higher on the average to prefer iced coffee. I can see why, it’s hard being the sole reason coffee shops are still standing rn. Queer sapphics are putting in that WORK, and the iced coffee helps them not even break a sweat about it 😤😤 if you’re queer and you work at a coffee shop: thank you for your service 🫡

Now I’m not saying whether it’s wrong or it’s right to like iced coffee, such things are hardly ever black or white. But I will say if someone I’m dating has an opposite viewpoint from me, this may ensue in a fight and breakup (which can be easily repaired with a kiss and make up if I’m brought back an iced coffee).

Party in the PCP[‘s Office]

Came out as gay to my PCP with the hope that I once again

wouldn’t need to take a pee preg test (ugh).

Not getting out of it.

(to the tune of Party in the USA btw)

There’s a lot of reasons to come out to a primary care doctor and many others to not disclose that information as well, so I think it’s hard to make definitive statements about why. I think age effects can often come about simply from time. Older people have more time to have some of these experiences and we may see younger cohorts report similar results in the future, as opposed to having true differences by generation. It is still worthwhile to note that most users have reported coming out to a primary care doctor. This can have beneficial effects, such as offering more specific and personalized care, but safety and personal comfort should take precedence when making this kind of decision.

We did see an identity difference for bisexual users, who were less likely to have come out to a primary care provider. Once again, I don’t want to make too many sweeping generalizations since this very much so a personal-level decision, but this difference could be due to both decreased comfort for bisexual people who may be apprehensive of the risk of biphobia/homophobia from a PCP, as well as personal relevancy since bisexual sapphics may or may not be in sapphic relationships (which would change the need to disclose sexuality as part of medical history). Whatever the reason, your decision to tell a medical provider your sexuality is yours to make, and we hope that the disclosure is met with professionalism, grace, and continued care.

That’s all I have for you this week! Once again happy pride month (!!) and we’re excited to celebrate with you all :))
