Don’t miss Habib’s interesting take on the smartphone sex apps that gays are obsessed with:
The interface is similar to the way we view porn now, not fixating on one scene until we come but flipping through scenes—bringing up the next guy’s naked pic and the next until we find the one we want to stick with. The ability to chat with the person whose image you’re getting off to amplifies the individualization of the experience. While I’m looking at someone’s dick, I’m also wondering: Is he a top or a bottom? Does he like the same sexual acts as me? But it goes further than that—everyone on the app has access to what turns them on about personalities, too. Does he like the same movies? Is he into comic books? Will he wear that Thor helmet in his pic when he fucks me?
And the best thing is—unlike porn on the computer—we get to be on the screen, too, displaying ourselves to the other player.
There’s also some stuff about guys who don’t show their face. Read the whole thing right here.
