Through a qualitative research that involved 11 men and 10 women between the ages of 21 and 25, the paper aims to open a discussion that begins with sex tracking app users' experiences and interlaces them with broader analyses of such applications of quantified self. The paper focuses on the use of a sex tracking app for measuring and monitoring one's sexual behaviour and health; the relationships between interviewees and their partners and the tendency of some participants to use apps as a catalogue for recording partners; and the use of these apps to improve one's sexual performance.

Abstract
Through a qualitative research that involved 11 men and 10 women between the ages of 21 and 25, the paper aims to open a discussion that begins with sex tracking app users' experiences and interlaces them with broader analyses of such applications of quantified self. The paper focuses on the use of a sex tracking app for measuring and monitoring one's sexual behaviour and health; the relationships between interviewees and their partners and the tendency of some participants to use apps as a catalogue for recording partners; and the use of these apps to improve one's sexual performance.File in questo prodotto:
