AFM

AFM (A Fucking Magazine) is a biannual print publication about desire, sexuality, and relationships published by Feeld, the dating app for the emotionally, physically, and intellectually curious. 

The inaugural issue Pursuits of Happiness explores all facets of what it means to reach for joy, pleasure, satisfaction, grace, desire—or whatever other euphemism comes to mind when you think of what it means to be in pursuit, or to be happy , or both—as well as the experience of feeling these concepts most acutely in their absence.
