The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has spent nearly a half a million dollars studying gay hookup apps such as Grindr.
The government awarded $432,000 to Columbia University to interview gay men who use GPS dating apps and determine whether it increases their likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behavior.
Smartphone technologies have provided a new venue for sexual partnering among men who have sex with men (MSM), the grant for the project states. Indeed, there are a rapidly growing number of smartphone applications designed to facilitate sexual partnering among MSM.
The project argues that dating apps that use the Global Positioning System, or GPS, has accelerated the rate that gay men can find sexual partners, compared to online.

I wonder exactly how they determine that???
I don’t.
The entire reason for this study is for the benefit of Lord Foul, so that he can make the most efficient use of his time after he leaves the oval office.
I don’t know why Obama couldn’t have just read the reviews himself.
Lifestyle aids.
Does an app designed to connect partners for homosexual sex result in sexual activity??? Do we really need to do a study of such subjects ???
#1, is this really a study worth doing to learn the answer to the question??
#2, isn’t the answer obvious considering what this app is used for, considering the intentions of others who use the app to connect with like minded individuals???
were they studying or were they looking for Hookups ?
Seriously?
Our government and it’s agencies are a freakin’ joke.
$432,000?????
This sounds like a make work job for Barney Frank.
Well, they could just check in with Barry and Reggie and see how those two rumpers operate..........
FR really needs a "duh" button.
The main app is called “grindr”. That is just gross.
Funny how the Feds will raid and shut down a local dairy, for selling cheese made of unpasteurized milk, due to the potential for spread of harmful bacteria - even when the product is produced and handled absolutely to minimize the risk to zero
Yet they do nothing about an app which allows gay men to find free sex - which will clearly be a major vector for contagious and highly dangerous diseases.
Great point.
Where is the one voice in the wilderness that can stand on the stage and say enough is enough, the gravy train is off the tracks.
If you want to study the mating habits of the limp wristed cockatoo do it with your own money, no one else gives a damn.

I love it!
So don’t leave us in suspense which one did Obama and Reggie prefer?
Researching for top results for Barry Soetero.
Ever heard of a “penile plethysmograph”?
