Abstract: Introduction: The use of dating apps has substantially changed the way we relate to each \nother and search for sexual partners, but this frequent use may be affecting both sexual \nsatisfaction and people's mental well-being. There is not much information on this \nrelationship, but previous studies conclude the need to delve deeper into the subject. \nObjective: To study the relationship between the use of dating apps and users' sexual \nsatisfaction and mental well-being. \nMethodology: the sample was 203 Spanish subjects, with an average age of 33.73 years \n(SD=11.39). They were given an online questionnaire with sociodemographic data, the New \nSexual Satisfaction Scale (NSSS) and the Edinburgh Warwick Mental Wellbeing Scale (EBMWE). \nResults: No significant relationships were found between the use of dating applications and \ntheir frequency of use with sexual satisfaction. However, statistically significant differences \nwere found in sexual satisfaction depending on sexual orientation and in mental well-being \ndepending on whether or not they are a user of dating applications. Similarly, significant \nrelationships were found between the variables sexual satisfaction and age and the variables \nmental well-being and frequency of use of dating applications, both of which were negative \ncorrelations. \nConclusions: The results of the study are consistent with previous studies, although it is \nnecessary to continue researching the topic in order to better understand these constructs \nand their impact on mental health.
