A down side to going app

-

With the spike in sex apps everywhere, one should be careful which sex app they choose to use and how.

This is according to a 2016 University of Hong Kong study that was conducted on 666 college students, which found that there is a correlatio­n between the use of sex apps and an increased number of sexually transmitte­d infections.

According to the study, users of sex apps were more likely to experiment with multiple sex partners as well as unprotecte­d sex.

While the study did not conclude why this is, the scientists encourage everyone who uses dating and sex apps to be careful who they interact with as well as to not practise any risky sexual behaviour.
