Would You Use an App to Track Your Sex Life?
We at OBC believe in caring for your sex life in the same way you would care for a pet. Take care of it. Let it be adventurous, but make sure its kept safe. Feed it often, and feed it good, healthy food, not that mass-produced all-corn crap that’s only $10. Take it in for check ups every once in a while to make sure it isn’t sick.
So, okay, sometimes you set reminders on you phone to give your dog his flea medicine, but do you need an app on your phone that tracks and quantifies your sex life, and sends push notifications when you should be having sex? Yeah… I don’t know either.
Via LiveScience:
According to its website, the Spreadsheets app relies on a smartphone’s accelerometer to monitor movement, and uses the device’s microphone to measure audio levels. (The app makers promise it doesn’t record, or play back audio or video from its users’ encounters.)
Spreadsheets then crunches that data to give a statistical and visual analysis of performance, showing the noise level, thrusts per minute and duration of each session. Those metrics alone may not be the best determining factors behind good sex for everyone. But perhaps mobile technology as it stands is not yet equipped to measure the more nuanced aspects of sexual prowess.
Spreadsheets isn’t unique in its quest to quantify the love lives of the smartphone-enabled. Another new app called Kahnoodle is designed for committed couples trying to keep the fires burning in their relationship. It sends push notifications to remind users to initiate sex and do thoughtful things for each other. It also lets partners collect “koupons” for sex or domestic chores, and keeps track of users’ relationship give-and-take with a “love tank,” that reads from full to empty.
EEESH. I’m not sure about this. It definitely paints a kind of sad picture of committed relationships – that couples need a VISUAL AND AUDIO REMINDER to get frisky with one another – it’s almost like homework. Although we appreciate the idea of helping couples keep their sex lives alive, we’re not sure if a “statistical analysis” is the way to go about it. Also, I’m not sure I believe that Spreadsheets isn’t saving all of your moans for some creepy sound-based porn site.
