‘Swiping America’s’ Kris Kelkar on the person behind the thirst traps & opening up about ED
kissing boys, women and nonbinary folks popping the question, and even guys who just love a good old-fashioned DILF.But few of them feel quite as authentic, unforced, and utterly absorbing as Max’s “rom-doc” Swiping America, which follows four singles as the travel across the country and get set up dates with compatible partners, looking for romance and finding themselves along the way.Two members of the central quartet are queer: There’s Ash who’s going on her own journey with gender identity, confidently straddling the line between “butch” and femme.” And then there’s Krishnanand Kelkar—who also goes by Kris—a thirtysomething Indian-American gay man who admits right up front that his social media presence is “a little bit more confident” than he is…A post shared by Krishnanand Kelkar (@kriskelkar)Naturally, Kris caught our eye, and his experience on the show has been fascinating to watch.
Sure, he’s conventionally attractive and not shy about showing off his physique, but he’s also a sensitive soul, an introvert, and someone who cares deeply about feeling a connection with his dates—even when he thinks they’re super hot.In the latest batch of episodes, Kris even opened up about having erectile dysfunction, ED, which feels like a big moment considering we rarely see young, healthy men talking about ED in media.
