Raw, moving and savagely funny, What You Into? is Josh Fox's autobiographical account of his spiral into the Grindr world of casual sex, hook-ups and dating apps following the break-up of his marriage.

'What you into?'
'I can host if ur looking?'
'What you into?'
'Do you like straight married men?'
'What you into?'
'Wanna meet in the bushes at the park?'

So many messages and not a single one asked how I was – or even asked my name. After a few minutes of bleak scrolling, I realised the only things I'm into are basic manners, commitment and being happily married. Which I also realised I wouldn't be finding on here. Still, that didn't stop me going off to meet the ninth stranger to slide into my inbox after finding myself getting sadder and sadder as each anonymous proposition pinged my way.

Raw, moving and savagely funny, What You Into? is Josh Fox's autobiographical account of his spiral into the Grindr world of casual sex, hook-ups and dating apps following the break-up of his marriage.

He documents this journey diary-style, chronicling the often weird, at times dark world of casual sex as he navigates his grief and anger through the consumption of men - only to discover that he too is being consumed by the process.

Fox's unflinching account of his descent into sex addiction, his struggle with depression and his search for a way back is framed within the broader background of his life. He shares his difficult upbringing in a housing estate in Manchester, and gives a self-critical commentary on his media career (and his complicated relationship with 'celebrity'), from his time as a teenage YouTube star and paparazzo through to his work in Australian radio.

What You Into? is a story of the push and pull of addiction, the power of compulsion over shame, the search for healing through destruction - set against the need for love and the desire to feel alive.©2024 Joshua Fox (P)2025 W. F. Howes Ltd Biographies & Memoirs Entertainment & Celebrities Funny

A very frank listen. Unexpected in places but very absorbing. I wish Josh well for the future and look forward to the next book.

really enjoyed this audiobook -the truth, honest rawness and many of the situations I completely identified with as a gay guy of the same age. I love Josh's positivity towards the end, reflecting back on his marriage ending and his feelings towards that period evolving into hope. I chose this book completely at random and it is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Everything happens for a reason:)

a terrifyingly recognisable story

was good genuinely something i have seen with other gay men over the years they either spiral and can be crushed by own feelings of guilt or can embrace a sexual awakening and enjoy it all.

sadly josh was being crushed but one day i hope he either finds happiness with someone or can learn to enjoy casual sex without the guilt

dark compelling and a little too close to home on occasion
