This article seeks to understand the articulation between certain theoretical discus-sions from the Affective Turn and the logics of homosocialization in Grindr users. From a trans-inter-disciplinary standpoint, we analyze contemporary discussions around sexual-romantic relationships using the narratives of some user profiles about what is sought in the potential encounter. Through this, we identify two ways of grammaticalizing the display of emotions, affects and feelings: on the one hand, a hegemonizing model of heteronormative romantic love as an agapic sacrificial performance, where everything is provided without expecting anything in return; on the other, the commodification of subjectivity and the transformation of bodies into mere objects for polyconsumption. We detect a tension in which both poles feed off each other and consolídate themselves as the two faces of an affective order condensed by a rationale of market and gendered normalcy. This two-sided framework leads us to wonder about the conditions under which other ways of inhabiting the erotic-affective paths (outside the margins of the mono- and heteronormativity) can emerge.

Palabras clave : romantic love; polyconsumption; homosocialization; erotic affective paths; Grindr.
