“Good2Go, a new mobile app meant to facilitate consensual sex among college students, is officially off the market,” Amanda Hess reports for Slate. “”
“When Good2Go launched last month, I tested it out and concluded that it was impractical (who wants to fill out a four-minute horniness/sobriety quiz before having sex?) and insecure (the app kept a database with sexual consent records that could be accessible by law enforcement),” Hess reports. “The College Fix deemed it ‘worse than nothing,’ and one college student interviewed on Today said it was ‘a buzzkill.'”
“Now, less than two weeks after launch, Apple has pulled the app from its store, citing a portion of its guidelines for developers that prohibits apps that ‘present excessively objectionable or crude content,'” Hess reports. “Good2Go creator Lee Ann Allman told me that while Apple didn’t provide many details about its decision to remove the app, ‘they did say it was not deemed to be crude.’ So: objectionable. In light of Apple’s decision, Allman decided to remove the app from Google’s app store and shut down its website”

Aw cum on! Is Apple ran by asexuals now?
Disastrous move. Consensual sex is the most moral thing in the world — unlike never-pulled cruelty and violence in many App Store entries (upside-down morals).
Sex has to be promoted as healthy daily routine. Necessary for men due to medical reasons (yes, even skipping a day is not good, as researches show) and, though not necessary, but highly recommended for women as, when well performed, it makes them happier and indirectly helps with immune system.
I’d rather have my daughter play video games.
Thank you Dr. Oz
If your daughter is sexually mature, then sex is much healthier.
Now how am I going to get some?
Just ask your two friends. Ms Lefty or Righty? LOL
…or Palmela Handerson
…or Mrs. Rubbitson 😜
I’m married to them already
That’s the thing about masturbation, at least your’e doing it with someone who loves you! 🙂
Do what the kids did in the old days.

Hey, sex jokes aren’t funny.
I mean, come on people.
“When Good2Go launched last month, I tested it out and concluded that it was impractical (who wants to fill out a four-minute horniness/sobriety quiz before having sex?) and insecure (the app kept a database with sexual consent records that could be accessible by law enforcement),”
Under California’s “Yes means Yes” law that was just signed, this is exactly the kind of thing that would be useful if there are no witnesses to the giving of consent.
Yes, this app would be very practical for the worst law written in California history approved by the dope head governor pandering to women’s lib.
It was pulled for GOOD REASON. Lawyers, lawsuits and law enforcement snooping on iPhones that Apple recently locked down.
Good move, Apple.
So is your Voice Memos app.
You just KNOW that Apple has already had lots of mummies and duddies complaining about this app, if not one of the ‘Thou Shalt Live By MY Religious Rulz’ lobbying groups. Apple isn’t in the biznizz of politicz. Staying out of the fray and defaulting to being a family friendly company is NOT a big deal in this case. There isn’t any major disruption of anyone’s life by bouncing this app out of the Apple iTunes Store.
Meanwhile, I personally am a personal responsibility freak and am all for helping people learn about and acquire total personal responsibility for their choices and actions. This app is fine with me! But some people can’t deal with handing kids personal responsibility, for whatever reason. Some reasons actually make some sense. Others are babying the kids well beyond their baby years.
BTW: I’m speaking from the POV of someone who got to deal directly with some of these mummies and duddies and lobbying groups who went ape crazy at Kodak about the most benign things. Kodak wisely stuck to the family friendly agenda, except when it came to the personal choices and responsibilities of their employees. For example: If some group went loony over Kodak being gay employee friendly, tough. That was over the line of customer expectations. Apple is doing exactly the same.
I guess Good2Go is now Good2Gone.
