ErosBlog: The Sex Blog
@ErosBlog My periods ended many years ago. But toward the end, a period tracker app helped me see patterns in the waning of my cycle. It was very convenient. Some months after my last period, the company emailed me--just to check on me. Back then, it felt like a kind gesture. Of course, looking at it now, it feels downright scary!! If I were younger now, I would absolutely NOT use one of these apps!
@CatMom916 @ErosBlog they emailed you???? that's kinda creepy tbh
@lena @ErosBlog At the time, it didn't seem weird. I didn't mind it. The flaw in their system was that you couldn't put your age/DOB in, so the folks who monitored the site didn't know I was in my mid-50s. NOW it seems weird!! And grossly intrusive. And I absolutely tell my younger friends to never, ever use one of these apps!! We were all so innocent in 2017!!
