Grindr Does Not Escape the Year-End Review Trend. On the agenda for the 2025 statistics of the most famous gay dating app: our favorite daddies and twinks, our current kinks, our favorite porn actors, and a few other data that could come in handy when you travel…
Some 12.8 billion “taps,” no less than 135 billion chats exchanged, and a lot of eggplant emojis. Based on data from more than 15 million monthly users as well as 32,000 votes collected on various questions, the Grindr app has just published its Unwrapped 2025. Rich as can be, this retrospective of what lit up the gay community during the year 2025 celebrates a few old classics – “hung” (well-built) remains the most searched keyword, and Pedro Pascal the “daddy” of daddies – but also a few surprises.
This year, the world’s favorite porn star among gays is a twink: Joey Mills, a multi-award-winning actor who defines himself as “the worst nightmare of your mother and the wettest dream of your father”. He is followed by the abs – and the centimeters – of Rhyheim Shabazz, with whom the former has shot two scenes. On the straight side, we’ve taken a liking to the Australian Girthmasterr, followed by two actors already present in this top in previous years: Diego Barros and Tyler Wu.
Jonathan Bailey, Bad Bunny…
We also ogled at better-dressed actors! Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Jurassic World), already named the Sexiest Man Alive by the American magazine People, tops Grindr’s list of the hottest guys of 2025. He is followed by Bad Bunny, whose bulge also makes the top bulges. Behind, David Corenswet (Superman) comes in third, followed by Michael B. Jordan (Sexiest Man Alive in 2020 according to People), then the Korean actor Jung Kook.
In the realm of looks that turn us on, one will note that the têtu· has clearly sniffed out the big 2025 trends: bespectacled intellectuals, cowboy hats and chaps, and virile men who wear skirts.
Passifs bien montés
Finally, essential data concerning our practices. And with a rooster’s crow of pride, France ranking again at the top of the countries where the most well-built bottoms are found – well, it’s self-reported… Corollary, perhaps, we are the fifth country in the world lamenting a shortage of assets – rest assured, it’s worse in Vietnam, Thailand, Poland and Mexico.
This year, France also shines as one of the five most foot-fetishist countries. And Paris ranks just behind London as the city with the most travelers online looking for a hookup. Then Berlin (which unfortunately lost its oldest gay club this year), New York and Barcelona.
Are you more of a daddy person? It’s in the United States, Australia, and then the United Kingdom that you’ll find the most. Do you prefer twinks? Head to Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Austria. As for bears, they tend to build their den in Ireland, the United States, and Greece. Finally, it appears that BDSM enthusiasts are more numerous among the… Aquarians. Do what you will with this information.
