How the smartphone apps can improve your sexual wellbeing.

The use of smartphones and other technological devices has rapidly increased in the last few years, along with the availability of various applications that can be downloaded on iOS or Android devices. In this narrative review, we included most of the literature found on the specific topic of smartphone apps related to sexual health. Using the two databases PubMed and PsycInfo, we conducted research by the following terms: "apps" and "sexual wellbeing"; "apps" and "sexual health"; "mhealth" and "sex"; "mhealth", "apps" and "sex". We selected all articles written in English within the last 6 years to ensure the accessibility and consider the rapid changes in this field. The article highlights that many populations are interested in gaining information on a wide range of topics relating to sexual practices, potential risks, coercion, sexual violence and the prevention and recognition of potentially dangerous situations. Some findings suggest that sex education for sexual minority adolescents should focus on online sexual safety. Despite their value, many concerns and limitations must be solved, and future research studies are needed to explore how to fix them.
