I understand that teams form out of convenience and necessity, but did you fellas at least consult some females as to the efficacy of a partner who is reliant on a rather weak vibrator to keep things interesting in bed? From the preview and your description, this is going to be an app for young men [12-17] and drunk college kids. Favoriting positions, keeping a 'kill' count...

Not trying to be cruel, but this is rather childish. It is geared towards males; why not make a message client where betas and virgins can share horror stories and laboriously gathered sex advice?

Our thinking was that the market for the app would be primarily couples.

I can see that, but i think that it will fall short on that front. I do not mean to belittle the time and effort you have all put in. I just think that the app is very male focused, so maybe you should run with that. Movies and pop culture to the contrary, most women have a position or two they cum best in, and most guys have a standard 'run of show' that they fall into [fun game-instead of erasing pr0n history, track how long it takes to go from first page to guilt close... i bet the consistency will bug you... mine is 22-32 minutes]. Adding data to this equation does not strike me as a successful approach to enhancing love life. A place where guys can go and share there experiences and questions openly and honestly without fear of ridicule would be a pretty awesome thing.

We do have a lot of really awesome content from our partner, http://goodinbed.com. You're probably right that the app is male focused, although we did try to get input from our female friends along the way.

Entiendo. I just want to belabor this point; sex is social communication, whether by commission or just awareness of its occurrence. A place where you can get real advice from real 'fkers' in the trenches would be invaluable.

thank you for taking the time to respond to my comments. I do not care about the gender make up of teams personally, but i would bet you will hear more about it if/when your app gains traction. As i am so low level in my technical capabilities, i sought to help where i could.

sexual health and open dialogue are so very important to peace and happiness. However rough around the edges you guys start, i believe you folks are trying to do a good thing.

Here's a direct link to the free version https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sexlife-lite/id413145097?mt=... and here's a direct link to the $1.99 paid version https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sexlife/id407581320?mt=8

Although the URL makes it apparent, you should definitely include NSFW warnings.

You had to register to a service to use the app? Really?
