I find this much like other such claims: Overblown and exaggerated, not to mention hard to prove it is an actual trend and not a few one offs that have been going on since the condom was invented.
The concept itself is not new and the original source is what... some social media claims turned into a study? It's lazy journalism combined with a clickbait title and story that probably was not actually a trend until they sensationalized it.
While I have no doubt this does happen (as I said, it likely has been since the concept of the condom itself was created), calling it a "trend" is only encouraging it to actually happen more frequently than it was before it got popularized by recognition in a national report.
The biggest red flag is the catchy name they've given it. All of these supposed trends get a stupid name.
