"Snapchat is only for sex" logic is from people that don't understand snapchat
Only for sex? Of course it isn't.
Used often for sexual purposes...Of course it is.
Even more so than other apps since its very 'privacy' features are what lured the teen demographic to it.
Keep in mind I am the target audience for Snapchat....I am not someone in his 40s-50s who doesn't 'get it'.
Whenever I am interested in getting to know someone or whatever whatever....Snapchat is what they use. It isn't to send me cool stories or videos of Cat. It's usually for sexual purpose (which thankfully I was raised with self-respect so I don't partake in that).
That's just like saying Tinder isn't used predominantly for sexual purposes. Sure, you can have some tame and G-rated/PG conversation. I use Tinder. Not for the hookups but for the LOLs and I have had some great conversations.
Guess what? A vast majority of users are using it for sexual purposes because that is sort of what it is marketed towards.
Snapchat:
Send whatever you want. It self-destructs (Teen and Young adult mentality: 'Ooh I can send WHATEVER
, Ay turn up. It'll be deleted soon."
Tinder:
Match with people near you....(Especially in a college setting "Hmm, I wonder what hot chick/guy I can meet up with now."
Anyone who labels Snapchat is purely a sexual app is being hyperbolic. And in my opinion, I find it willfully ignorant that anyone who tries to downplay the sexual nature and appeal of Snapchat.
The 'snappening' was a thing. What? you think since SNapchat broaden the features/appeal...that people suddenly have stopped sexting with each other and currently are just sending videos of cats.

Okay.
