While the pandemic might have more people opting for the ‘quarantine and chill’ online dating experience, a Dalhousie University PhD student cautions that the possibility of sexualized violence is very real — even in a virtual setting.
Last week, Nicole Doria penned ablog postto provide tips for people to stay safe on dating apps during COVID-19.
多里亚写道：“除了性传播感染外，还将COVID-19添加到您想要保护自己免受这些日子的传染病列表中，避孕套对您无济于事。”
多里亚（Doria）凭借公共卫生指南强烈阻止人们与不在同一个家庭或“泡沫”的人发生性接触，许多人说，许多人实际上正在满足他们的性需求。这包括性交，chaturbating（在线聊天时相互播放），电话和/或视频性别。
“如果您使用在线约会应用程序来打击孤独和挫败感，请不要感到羞耻 - 将您的隔离式隔离，” Doria写道。“但是，我建议您尽可能安全地进行。”
多莉亚（Doria）在达尔豪西大学（Dalhousie University）的卫生学院攻读博士学位。她的研究研究了在线约会如何促进对妇女的性暴力。当大流行袭击时，她说她很自然地开始思考Covid-19可能如何加剧这个问题。

“对我来说，这并不是太多的枢纽，因为很多问题都是一样的。她在周二的一次采访中说：“这更多的是关于在共同，在线时间可以放大的时间，然后人们需要意识到这可以在网上放大性暴力。”
“Sexualized violence can be experienced online, it is experienced online. I think people need to be validated in their experiences of sexualized violence online as well and I think people need to take it seriously.”
Doria said she’s often met with skepticism when talking about her research. She describes sexualized violence as a broad term that can take many forms online. It ranges from sexual exploitation, sexual coercion, and distribution of sexually explicit images without consent to stalking, sexual harassment, unwanted sexualized attention including sexist remarks, transphobic remarks, and sending unwanted images and videos.
“A lot of times when people think about sexualized violence they just think of physical sexual assault or rape, and it’s way more broad than that and way more inclusive,” she said.
“So people think they can’t experience sexualized violence online because you’re not going to be raped on a dating app, but that’s not what I’m getting at. There are so many more nuances and components of sexualized violence that people are experiencing on dating apps.”
Doria said there’s not much data or research — especially in Canada — looking at how online interactions transition offline in real world encounters and how that could increase or change how sexualized violence is experienced. She intends to explore this in her own research.
她说：“很多人都在谈论我们有时在网上进行讨论，您会做爱，您可能会被带走，或者您当下您说话。”
“And then when you meet in person, that can be perceived as consent has already been given to participate in that sexual act or to engage in a behaviour that you might have changed your mind about or really are not comfortable participating in offline because it was different when you said you were into it online.”
她说，同意问题在离线和离线问题上。沟通必须像在现实生活中的相遇一样活跃并保持在线环境中。她还警告不要向任何人发送不需要的消息或照片。曾经。
她在博客文章中写道：“您可能会认为这是一个令人惊讶的惊喜，但实际上，这是性骚扰。”
多里亚（Doria）指出，约会应用程序的普及爆炸声，人们试图找到在家里击败无聊的方法。在3月底，当该国锁定时，加拿大Bumble的视频电话增加了56％，发送消息增加了33％，对话和视频通话的长度增加了100％。
“Dating apps surged during COVID, which for my research purposes is very interesting,” she said.
虽然她个人不反对约会应用程序或在线约会，但多里亚说，对于人们来说，重要的是要意识到潜在的陷阱。
“I’m not against online dating in any way, but I do think it’s important that people are aware that there are dangers that maybe they haven’t considered,” she said.
她的一些安全提示包括保持裸露的匿名（没有面孔，识别纹身，珠宝或背景）。关闭现场照片摄像头功能和位置功能，以确保您的图像不包含其他录像/音频，并且不会在地理位置加密。
“Always consider the possibility that what you share may be shared further — not everyone is who they pretend to be, and even Prince or Princess Charming can turn to revenge porn when you ride off of Tinder with another match,” she wrote in her post.
Doria还建议人们研究他们使用的在线约会平台以及与之交谈的人。设定边界和期望，并确保您的电话设置不会将您的裸露插入相机卷中或将其备份到云中。
“This is a really new area of research so I think as my doctoral research continues and more people do research in this field, a lot of interesting results will surface,” she said.
“There’s a lot to learn not just from a researcher’s standpoint but from people using dating apps every single day.”
多里亚（Doria）的研究将包括对整个海事的妇女的访谈，以了解更多有关她们的经历以及他们如何感知在线约会应用程序促进的性暴力行为。她的长期目标包括改善当局处理在线性暴力报告的严重性。
“The access that we’re giving people is just at the touch of a finger,” she said. “We are so accessible nowadays online, and I think we’re really vulnerable dating online, probably more than people recognize.”
她相信她的消息和安全提示dded urgency if we do experience a second wave of the pandemic and find ourselves back in lockdown.
“We don’t know what’s going to happen in the near future, if we’re going to have a second wave or if potentially there are going to be social distancing restrictions for the long term,” she said. “That will definitely increase the amount of time that people are spending dating online.”
