'BOINK' iPhone App Matches Users Based On Sexual Preferences (VIDEO)

Boink Iphone App Sexual Partners

We've all been there: You're at a bar chatting with a cute guy or girl and have no idea based on the conversation whether that person has a candle wax fetish, a whip collection, or is into role-playing. So now what?

Sure, you could invite the person out for dinner and a movie, get to know each other, and go from there. But this is 2012! People have places to go and people to Boink. Thankfully, a crack team of developers at MEDL Mobile have created a new iPhone app, appropriately named "BOINK," which allows users to create a "sexual proclivities" profile based on likes, dislikes, positions, kinks and fetishes.

Using the same technology as the popular data-swapping application "Bump," users can touch their phones together and the program will use a "sexual compatibility calculator" to do determine whether the pair would make merry bedfellows.

And if those features don't seal the deal, BOINK also has a "stats" counter for keeping track of sexual exploits and a "tales" page where people can exchange stories.

Fortunately, Mashable explains that all data users input into the application remains private.

The developers also told the site that they had to submit the application to Apple's strict review board three separates times before it was approved.

"We had a bet going internally as to how many rounds it would take to get approved," Dave Swartz, co-founder of MEDL Mobile, told Mashable. "We love the fact that Apple finally said yes. It shows they understand adults are using the iPhone in ways that are certainly mature, but don’t amount to pornography."

The app currently sells for $0.99 through iTunes. According to The New York Times, the app is also available for Android phones, but some features may not work due to compatibility issues. For example, in some cases, users of HTC phones may not be able to "boink" their phones together.

Check out a promotional video for the app above and some screenshots below:

How bout an app that can tell women if "Jeff Dahmer was this guys hero?" Or he's a whacka doo? Don't go home with him? Or tell a guy " She's a first class Bi**ch? Or dont expect any sex until you've dropped at least $2 grand on a date?" LOL Jeez man, what happened to the good old days, when people went out, talked, had some drinks, etc etc? It used to be called attarction. Either you were attracted to someone or you werent, then you went from there. But now I guess you touch phones, and then say"OK, lets go whip each other and drip wax, cool?" Ah yes, true love at work.

What we really need is an app that will tell you if your new sex partner has an STD.

I wonder who they're selling the data to?

You know because having the same "likes" means you will like to do it with the other person.

This could be a good pickup line for the clubs.

People pay a $1 for this nonsense..

I'm coming out with an app that tells you if the person you are speaking with actually likes you, it's only $5 but I think it will give you valuable insight to what others think about you.

From things I've heard, a woman is compatible to a man if she is willing. The man who said it got a lot of laughs from the other men. Not so much from the women.

Because someone has to say it.

But if a woman had said it they would've been laughing too.

I bet the ratio of guys to girls using this app will be 4 or 5:1.
07:24 AM on 05/09/2012
Maybe a little low, could be 100,000 to 1.

A fine plan for an app, but nothing new. Alt.com and Fetlife have been helping like-minded kinky people hook up for years...

This is Apple. I guarantee this won't be here for long, no matter how useful it will be.

Apple can be strangely prudish, no? It must be an attempt to please their Chinese patrons...
