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.
However, though people are certainly still visiting their favorite dating sites and apps (OBC included!), we're hoping that people are following our tips, and just using them to meet local singles, chat it up, maybe exchange sexy pics, and leave it at that until social distancing rules are lifted. There are ways to get your rocks off without putting others in danger, and we hope everyone is keeping that in mind as they load up their booty call lists ;).
