Despite Social Distancing Rules, Lots of People are Looking for Sex
We’ve been talking a lot recently about how Coronavirus has affected the lives of singles – from some scientific knowledge on sexual transmission, to stories of singles being celibate out of necessity, and tips on staying sane (and sexy) if you’re quarantined alone.
However, it seems as though many singles have had it, and are heading back into the hook up pool, against the advice of medical professionals. Via TMZ:
There are serious, even deadly warning signs of a resurgence of coronavirus after we re-emerge from self-quarantine because there’s been A LOT of activity on dating/sex apps. There’s an app, Sensor Tower, that gives insights into traffic on popular dating/sex apps … and millions and millions of people are, at the very least, looking for love, and at worst, hooking up with strangers. A month ago, just before we all started settling into our hermetically-sealed lives, Tinder had weekly traffic of around 9.3 million users. It has since surged to 10.2 million … mind you, when most of us are in quarantine. And, the users are definitely in the market for something, because on March 29 alone, Tinder users swiped 3 BILLION times.
