Come to URCAD on Wednesday, April 25 where Psychology major Steven will present his research “Impact of Pornography and Gay Dating Apps on the Mental Health of Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM)” in the UC Ballroom at 10 a.m.

Online pornography and dating apps are used for a variety of reasons, ranging from online sexual exploration, connecting with other potential sexual partners, and engaging in both online and offline sexual activity. Recent research has suggested that prolonged use (over five hours a week) of use of online pornography can lead to increased rates of psychopathology, especially depression and low self-esteem.
