Now, a startup has a button for couples to request another household essential: sex

[JANASENA]

• LoveSync is a device that lets you, with the push of a button, silently and "anonymously" indicate to your partner that you're in the mood for sex.
• A fundraising campaign for LoveSync launched Monday on Kickstarter, and the device has already raised more than half of its $7,500 goal.
• People on social media are roasting the button for its purpose of "summoning" your partner and intent to replace audible consent for sex.

 

Amazon pioneered the idea of miniature buttons that people pressto quickly order household staples like laundry detergent and potato chips. Now, a startup has a button for couples to request another household essential: sex.

On Monday, a Kickstarter campaign introduced the world to LoveSync buttons, designed to help partners signal when they're in the mood for sex.

LoveSync buttons come in a set — one for each person's bedside table — so you can press it when you want to indicate to your partner that you want to have sex. If both partners tap their buttons in the same 15-minute "consensus window," both buttons will glow green, and you'll know the other person is horny too.

Though it's only a Kickstarter concept at this point, the LoveSync button aims for the elegant design of an Apple product or a Nest thermostat, with "CNC machined steel housing" and a "capacitive touch sensor."

The device, the Kickstarter campaign says, is designed to "take the luck out of getting lucky" so you can "make your move with confidence" — so you don't have to risk initiating sex and getting rejected.

LoveSync's launch on Kickstarter wasn't met with entirely positive reactions on social media. People on Twitter skewered several features of the device, as well as its description.

y they created this ugly button, they should have just developed an app which sends a notification to their mobile phones.

It has great accessibility 😀

You can do that. It will further reduce human interaction. Thanks to technology, I guess.
