Hotline Dating
There’s a new dating app that not only focuses on calling somebody, it is mandatory before any other communication with a potential match is allowed !
It’s called Hotline and it requires you to have a 5minute call with somebody using the in-app VOIP service. It can be quite scary if you’re shy, but the idea of this is, is to find out if the person you’re chatting with is a real person for one and, if they are as interesting as their profile says that they are!
Also included on the app is videos on your profile and you’re limited to three matches at a time. Hotline has spoken to Mashable and said that this is a conscious move to avoid users treating the people they match with as commodities.
Unfortunately the service is limited to New York (although you can download the app in the UK) and only available on iOS. It’s $9 a month and if it is a success they plan on expanding.

App as a Contraceptive?
You can now use an app as a form of contraceptive. Yes you heard that correctly. AN APP.
The app known as ‘Natural Cycles’ monitors fertility via algorithms. The German Department of Health has approved this and now it can be prescribed in Europe and the UK like the pill or condoms. It uses a method similar to the ‘Rhythm” telling women how fertile they are and therefore when they can have sex with little risk of getting pregnant.
It costs £6.99 a month and currently had 10,000 UK users.
During ovulation high progesterone levels increase a woman’s body temperature by half a degree and users measure their temperature daily using the included electronic thermometer. On the app days marked as green are when unprotected sex is ok and if it is marked as red couples must use a condom or other contraceptive. If you were wondering the app also doubles as a way to show the optimal time to have a child!
Experts have cautioned that the app is not for everyone and that care must be taken when using it “Any device that monitors the menstrual cycle is fallible as women don’t always ovulate predictably,” Dr. Adam Balen told The Telegraph.
This method could lead to an increase in pregnancies as the NHS have highlighted that methods such as this results in 7 in 100 instead of one in 100 for techniques such as the pill, implant or condom.

Human Vibrator?!
One day we may be able to have a vibrating dildo/penis combo that will rock your partners socks off! According to Rich Lee that is.
Lee is a grinder, which is a member of a niche community of biohackers pushing the limits of what people can implant into their bodies. He has tiny magnets in his ear which work as earphones, he has magnets in his fingers, they don’t do anything useful its just for fun. He has an implant to guage his temperature and also a NFC piece of tech that he uses alongside a text to speech app to make his phone read him articles before bed. Lee’s next experiment? To small vibrating implant inside his penis, just below the skin to bring pleasure to the opposite sex, the device otherwise known as the LoveTron 9000. He see’s all of the implants as self improvement rather than mutation.
“Someday I’d like to live in a world where everything you’re dealt is changeable, fluid,” Lee told me. “My conception of an ideal self is something like a Mr. Potato Head, where I can just swap in and out different prosthetics for different senses and abilities.”
