There's something fundamentally different that seems to cut cleanly along cultures.
Growing up in a Mexican culture, I have always been taught to be chaste and pious, but it just isn't something I internalized. Instead, my peers were a much bigger influence.
It seems more common in some other cultural contexts to internalize this kind of self-denial with overtones of purity.
Even as a gay man, I never found the need for dating apps, since there isn't as much of a binary distinction between friends/acquaintances and romantic partners.
