Taking advantage of the excuse of fertility and the difficulties that many women have in getting pregnant, these platforms collect eleven data from private life that do not come to the thread, for example, if they smoke and how much, how much alcohol they have drunk, if they have spent the night, in what position they had touched the skin and if they had an orgasm, if they masturbate, what is the skin, how many hours they sleep...
