AFM (A Fucking Magazine) is an arts and literary magazine exploring sexuality and relationships through essays, fiction, poetry, conversations and visual art. It is published by Feeld, the dating app for the emotionally, physically, and intellectually curious. 

Issue 2: Mind Games is an inquiry into and expression of the puzzles our thoughts create—how they shift, deceive, and reshape across love, memory, and identity. With essays, fiction, photography, and poetry, the issue takes on affirmations, revisions, and the rewrites we make to our own stories, turning assumptions inside out. In the work gathered here, our contributors have taken delicate wrecking balls to all kinds of mind games, gracefully shattering assumptions or elegantly interrogating fears.
