【Schoolmistress 2】

Since the dawn of time,Schoolmistress 2 people who aren't terrible have been using words to ask other people to have sex with them. What if we could do away with all that and press a fuck button instead?

A would-be product called LoveSync, which is mid-Kickstarter campaign at the moment, wants to do just that. Basically, it's two buttons — one for you and one for your partner — that you can press whenever you're interested in having sex. If your partner has also pressed their button, you'll both be notified with a "swirling glow." Then you just have sex, I guess?

The supposed advantage of LoveSync, according to LoveSync, is that it creates a sexual environment with "no rejection, guilt, or missed opportunities." Since you'll get a clear answer from your partner, it posits, you won't ever feel bad about mixed signals, differences in libido, or any of the other stressors that are part of being a sexual person.

Of course, this is very bad. If you are not motivated enough to initiate sex, you should not be having sex, and gamifying consent is a terrible idea. But the reason people are really going after this thing on Twitter is its Kickstarter description, which is full of mind-boggling phrases like "15 minute consensus window" and "sexual desire spectrum."

There's also a huge focus on being able to push your button "anonymously" — as if your partner would not already be aware that you, in fact, were in possession of your own button. This is all to say nothing of the fact that informing a large silver button of your horniness seems incredibly misguided.

At the time of writing, the creators of LoveSync had raised $1,807 of their $7,500 goal. We've reached out and will update if we hear back.
