So if a guy doesn't use a hook-up app, he's sketchy? I've known plenty of guys who don't use dating apps and get along just fine with regular social media. Doesn't mean they're insecure, but maybe they just don't care about the shallow nature of dating apps.
Apps make it easier to hook up with people, yes but it also generates this hyper sexuality culture that makes it difficult for people to actually find dates/LTR type deals. That's the biggest stigma about gay apps.

Where is the contradiction in what I posted? I said its easier to hook up in person vs an app and that I'm generally not a hook up on the spot kind of guy. The only thing that can be gleaned from the quoted post is that I'm not having sex with every guy that propositions me for sex. I have my spurts where I chat with the guys on the apps. However, it almost never results in a meeting...and that is perfectly ok.
Secondly, the only time I get on apps is when I think I'm hitting a dry spell... but absent that you won't see me hovering over my phone to answer every msg from some guy hitting me up on an app. So I'd argue that the same may be true for others.
I'd also argue that apps are the result of and not a cause of hypersexuality OR they are the result of a lack of sexual activity. The latter is likely to be the truer of the two in my estimation.
Thirdly, a lack of experience and knowledge with regards to sex leads people into risky sexual behaviors which can result in STDs spreading.
Studies show that the more conservative the country sexually the more likely they are using **** and doing other sexually deviant things. Highly religious countries dominate the top 10 countries who watch the most ****.
The US while being the largest producer of **** accounts for among the lowest amount of viewers of ****.
This brings me back to my original post in this topic that I'm skeptical of people who claim they don't use apps. It doesnt mean anything is wrong there. However it does make me skeptical and cautious.
There is nothing wrong with gay people having sex. The people bringing up promiscuity are people who arent having the sex they want to have or they generally dont like gay people as a whole. They are using it to justify their already negative views of gay people.
Your arguments don't hold up as well as you think they do.
