'I Just Made Love' App Lets Users Track Their Sexual Encounters

Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, LinkedIn: If documenting your thoughts, meals, jobs and latest party-going isn't holding your interest the way it once did, a new app could spice things up. The "I Just Made Love" app allows you to do exactly what the name suggests: announce your latest sexual encounter to the world. (The app's tagline? "Tell the world! ... make everybody jealous!")

And there's more: The new tool, which is available for both Android and iPhone, also lets you log-in and put a GPS marker on the location of your latest tryst.

(Scroll down to see screenshots of the app in action.)

When logging their lovin', users can select location tags such as outdoor, indoor, in a car or on a boat. Unfortunately, there's no Usher-style "love in this club" tag, but it is possible to choose "love positions" (depicted using stick figures in these various positions), select your gender and sexual orientation, indicate whether you used protection and leave general comments. Although it might seem logical to include some feedback and constructive criticism for one's partner in the comments section, users seem to prefer less verbose responses such as "Home," "Awesome," "Cool" and "WHAAAM."

The "I Just Made Love" website also features a Love Counter which tracks total trysts logged. Visitors can view a world map which tracks where users are logging from the sex they just had. The biggest hub seems to be Eastern Europe, where there are currently 54,879 markers. 26,137 "love acts" have been recorded in the midwestern United States, while 10,436 have been logged from the northeastern states. The overall counter is currently at 201,049 and that number will only increase as more people use the app. The Daily Mail reported that the Android version alone has been downloaded 10,000 times.

The app comes on the coattails of other technological ventures centered around dating and casual connection. Most online dating sites now have phone apps and October saw the release of Blendr, a straight version of Grindr, the app that allows gay users to GPS-locate and proposition people nearby who have similar sexual experiences in mind. And new, female-only social network, Luluvise lets members rate men they've dated based on a number of factors -- including skills in the bedroom. Luluvise doesn't have an app, but it does highlight the willingness and desire of individuals to put their sex lives out there.

Over at Gizmodo, Jesus Diaz asked (rhetorically?) -- why anyone would use this app:

Why would anyone want to click that big "Tell the World ... make everybody jealous!" button? WHY?

In a world of sexting scandals, internet sex tapes and YouPorn, is the fact that many, many people already have really that surprising?

cause nothing screams "I have no life" better than letting the world think you do

I am a firm proponent of the "a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell" rule. Though, I take no offense with this app, the only people's sex lives I am concerned with are mine and my partners'.

You know the only people that will use this aren't ACTUALLY doing it, they just want everyone to think they are.

Americans are so abscessed with sex we sometimes go overboard. I don't know why we have to keep count or brag. It is a pity for the person who thinks they are great lovers and usually are the worse in bed. So brag on.

The sad part is at the same time there are nearly as many people that go the completely opposite extreme. Not only should these people not talk about their sexual encounters, they shouldn't be having them at all, or that a portion of it should be considered illegal or against something they personally believe.

There needs to be a middle ground... Sure a you and a few friends might enjoy talking about your encounters, regardless of what they are, but not everyone does. Same goes in the other direction. Respect others' unwilling to go beyond the "norm" and not to push them beyond their comfort levels as long as it doesn't interfere with your own rights.

Why on earth would anyone want an app for this? Ridiculous!

This app helps me judge others for being too promiscuous or too prudish compared to my personal views, I like this idea

[Heidi Dietrich]

I don't know. I mean that's such a personal experience, why would you text it afterwards? I mean do people have no shame? There is such a thing as too much information.

How can you believe the app if someone sends it. Men and women both lie. Men say they got more than they did. Women say they didn't do it when they really did.

What good is another lying app.

This'll work just great until some rapist, or pedophile starts leaving us a map and description of where they do their dirty deeds, then people will register some shock and our societies depravity.

I'm no prude by any means, but that is just ridiculous. I hope my friends are classy enough not to use that.

No, I haven't. Guessing it is about the number of people a person has slept with??

Wow.

It's amazing how people complain about others "getting in their business" but are ok with "apps" like this.

Keep it to yourself. We don't want to know.

What if you didn't "make love?" What if it was just a wild fling with a total stranger in an alleywayor a public toilet? Do they have an app for something like that? Hey, I'm just asking Ok?
