Unfortunately, we are living in the era of dating apps, such as Tinder, where young people who don’t personally know each other exchange on average 10 messages before they get to have sex, according to Mashable.

A study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found out that the probability of Y generation members or millennials, as they are called (those born after 1980) have a higher opportunity to have sex than their previous generations.

If 25% of those who were born before 1980 had few one-night stands, it seems that the percentage of the Y generation has increased to 38%.

However, researchers have learned that millennials tend to consume less alcohol and are very much concerned about their safety, preferring to use various contraception methods.

Facebook, the largest online social network in the world, also has an important role in teenagers’ sexual relations in the 21st century. According to Luke Athens from Heartbreakers company, a private detective who investigates cases of Australian extramarital affairs, Facebook is the first place where infidelities may start.

Concerning Athens’s experience, half of the cases of infidelity in recent years have started online, on the largest social network in the world.

Police say that Tinder has dramatically increased the cases in which people fall victims to criminals that convince them to undress in front of the cameras or to send them nudes, then are blackmailed.

Criminals use false accounts to get in touch with unsuspecting people. Once they earn their trust and put their hands on compromising materials, such as explicit nude images or videos, offenders ask money for not making the materials public.
