Dr. Tosh offers a couple of theories on the rise, "One of the things that certainly has changed is some of these social media apps whereas it's now much easier for people who wish to engage in high risk sexual activity with multiple sex partners to find other people who are interested in engaging in high risk sexual activity with multiple sex partners in real time.
