I’ve never been a prude, but I have gone through phases in my life where I’ve been shy about showing my nude body because of confidence issues. One of the benefits of no longer being a scared and insecure teenager is that as you grow older you start to give zero fucks about what other people think, which means that I’ve been flashing my tits and my ass to people all over the place these days. Mostly, because it’s swimming season and I can’t be bothered to hide when changing.
I should created a profile on Ohlala and put that up as my bio and see how many hits I get.
- EAT, PAY, LOVE – A new app lets women charge for a night out. Will dating join the on-demand economy? (The Verge)
Launched in August 2015, Ohlala is a web-based app that facilitates what it calls “instant paid dating.” Male users post offers for dates, consisting of a time, a duration, and how much money they’re willing to pay — a typical offer is from 1–4 hours at an average price of $300. While the request is up, women can decide whether or not they’d like that person to be able to contact them. Crucially, women are not visible to men before they initiate conversation — it’s the inverse of the backpage listings to which it’s often compared. Here, the buyers must come forward first. From there, the couple can chat and discuss the whens and wheres of their impending dates, as well as a payment method and their boundaries, if they so please. (In-app payment is currently in the works, the team tells me.) When the terms are agreed upon, the chat is logged, and presumably both parties are incentivized to show up. Though its on-demand model has earned Ohlala the label “Uber for escorts,” the company insists it isn’t an escort agency, or even operating in the adult entertainment space.
I don’t understand the chick at the beginning of the article who got paid $600 to go on a date with a guy and was taken aback when he expected sex. I mean, that’s the whole point of a paying dating app, right?!
When it comes to some of the worst hardcore trolling, the misogyny and violence hurled at adult film actresses and webcam models is next-level crazy. Although many porn stars and cam models maintain some level of anonymity behind professional monikers and stage names, they’re still dependent on maintaining an active social media presence to promote their content and make a living. And when you’re literally baring it all online, you really expose yourself to all sorts of crazy haters. […]
VR porn star Ela Darling says that “people who are cruel to you are not entitled to your time and attention.” She says women who are trolled should never “internalize the nasty things that people say to you, and NEVER internalize misogyny.”
It’s also important for women to stand together and not become agents of misogyny themselves. “Take a stand, and let it stop with you,” she says.
There is so much hate out there, I don’t understand people who spend their time on the internet spread hate around. Don’t they find it depressing? Are they just miserable fucks IRL?
The selection committee was right that, in a head-to-head STI prevention battle, the Galactic Cap’s intentionally skimpy coverage would lose out to the full-body sheath of a traditional (or slightly tweaked) condom. But Powell believes that this argument rests on faulty logic.
“If it’s not skin-to-skin, guys won’t want to use it,” he says. “They just rearranged the deck chairs on the Titanic.” Powell believes that the increased pleasure of the Galactic Cap will “drastically increase” the number of men worldwide willing to wrap up — and even if the Cap is less effective than a traditional condom at preventing STI transmission, it’s a lot better than wearing nothing at all.
This is a statistical argument about a worldwide population that barely uses condoms, an argument that reducing risk for a larger pool of people is better than ensuring total safety for a relatively tiny population. But on an individual level, Powell concedes that, “if you’re worried about HIV, you need to put on a full condom.”
So basically, condoms are still the best thing we’ve got?! What is even the point of this?!!!
