DTF

DTF is casual slang, short for "down to fuck," signaling that someone is open to and interested in a sexual encounter.

DTF stands for "down to fuck," a piece of casual slang used to signal that someone is open to and interested in a sexual encounter, often a no-strings hookup. The phrase spread widely through dating and hookup apps and online chat, where it works as quick shorthand to gauge intent without a long conversation. It appears across many communities but is common in gay and queer men's dating spaces. Because it is blunt and explicit, DTF is casual language rather than something used in formal writing. Like any expression of sexual interest, it assumes mutual consent, and the answer can just as easily be no.
