Do you like sex? Sex. I mean, the physical activity. Coitus. Do you like it? You’re not interested in sex? – excerpt from ‘Partition’ by Beyonce.
The real question is, would you like some tech with your sex?
We knew it was coming, it was just a matter of time and now there is Sex with Glass, a new app created at a Wearables Hack-a-thon in London this past November by a group of college students (because…technology). Sex with Glass, wants to be your go to app for intercourse and promises a ‘completely new perspective’ while wearing Google Glass by giving you ability to see what your partner sees during love making.  By simply saying ‘Ok Glass, it’s time’, the app streams your partners point of view into your headset so you can literally watch yourself bang (because that’s what you’ve always wanted right?).  You can also add the app to your iPhone giving you a multi-angle perspective (turning you into an adult movie director one step at a time).
Sex with Glass touts a list of simple commands:’
‘OK Glass, give me ideas’ – if your intercourse regimen has become routine, Glass will literally perform a Google search for positions (high-fiving a million angels).
‘OK Glass, the lights’ – because Google just bought Nest. Â Oh the places this marketing campaign will go!
‘Ok Glass, play *insert music of your choice’ – connects you with your music library (because we all have that one playlist…)
‘OK Glass, pull out’ signaling the end of the evening and all streaming and recording ceases. Glass will put together all the footage and produce a video, which is deleted forever in 5 hours after pulling out (couldn’t resist).
In the past, Google has taken a very strong stance against adult content for Google Glass.  In the summer of 2013, the tech giant made headlines when it banned ‘T*$% and Glass’ an app by porn conglomerate MiKandi, that allowed users to upload and share racy content.  The app was live for only a few hours before Google shut it down. Google’s terms of service on sexual content state:
Sexually Explicit Material: We don’t allow Glassware content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material. Google has a zero-tolerance policy against child pornography. If we become aware of content with child pornography, we will report it to the appropriate authorities and delete the Google Accounts of those involved with the distribution.
While Sex with Glass has not gone live as of the date of this article, it seems to skirt this very thin line.  One can only speculate as to whether or not this app will be approved for use.  I, for one, think this is an imaginative aid that can heighten the sexual experience.  I am impressed with its ability to turn mild-mannered individuals (read: nerds) into smooth, consensual Quagmires (control for lighting and music) but this may not be for everyone.  While speaking to HuffPo, app co-developer Sherif Maktabi says, “Some people find what we do repulsive. But a lot of other people – and I am basing this from the emails we are getting online – really desire to try this. People have fantasies, desires and needs. It’s personal.”
As a glasses-wearer, I tend to not boink with my specs on, but Glass may change my prudent stance.  Personally, I’m curious to see how this works, if it’s as smooth as it seems or will it make fornication more awkward? I think there are enough tech nerd couples out there who are willing to try this. Just my opinion.  What do you guys think?  Is this the modern day version of ‘Masters of Sex’?  Are you at least slightly intrigued?  You can check me out at Techaeris regularly. Feel free to have it out in the comments and thanks for reading!
