Online dating is one of the safest ways of dating and meeting other singles regardless of your sexual orientation. However, men (heterosexual, gay, and bi-sexual) are statistically less likely to be vigilant about picking up on safety risks and warning signals than women. Remember, it is just as important for men as it is for women to tell a friend or relative about where you are meeting someone new and when, so that at least someone has an idea of your whereabouts and movements. It's also true that, within the Cayman gay community, some men are highly promiscuous and happy to sleep with someone whom they haven't known for long. Of course, what individuals do is up to them, but we advise that if this is your kind of thing, it's a good idea to make an effort to build up a good rapport online first (before meeting), so you feel fairly comfortable that the person you're seeing is trustworthy.
