Bottom Line

THIS APP IS NEVER APPROPRIATE FOR MINORS. It is a same-sex dating app for adult men.

Talking to Your Children

If this is on your child's phone, you need to have a conversation with your child about his sexuality and the danger of meeting up with adults for casual sex. In addition to our parent's guides for bullying and adult content, please review our guides for sexting and meeting strangers online. Based on the nature of the conversations, you may need to involve law enforcement to protect your child.

More Info

On more than one occasion, a minor has signed up for similar apps as an adult and ended up the victim of a child sex crime. In the same way that children and young adults explore tobacco and alcohol, they sometimes explore apps like these. However, in a few mouse clicks and some conversations, it can have disastrous consequences.
