The "I Just Made Love" app. Why?

According to the Daily Mail, the I Just Made Love site claims to have already recorded 193,000 'acts of love'. I would like to know WHO are the people who feel the need to share such intimate details with everyone in their social circle?

In fact, the company has developed an "I Just Made Love" app to record when you have sex and include details such:
·    The location: outdoor, indoor, in a car or on a boat;
·    The position you got frisky in (pick the little stick men that represent how your bodies were placed);
·    Map it with a GPS marker;
·    Stipulate whether you used protection; and
·    Leave general comments (how good was the sex?)

Okay, so I get that people share details of their sex lives with their closest buddies – usually over cocktails a la Sex and the City. And I'm all for tweeting a pic of the awesome sandwich you just ate on Twitter. Or, if you're so inclined, you can even log every move you make on FourSquare.

But WHY on earth would anyone want to track their sex life? Do you really want to "Tell the world!... make everybody jealous!"? Or would you, you know, sing a song about it? (If so, here’s the perfect song you’re looking for…)



Anyway, can you imagine the scene: You're still recovering your breath from a heady session of love-making and possibly thinking: "Hm… Snuggly and warm. Yay!" or "I could do with a glass of water now". And your (clearly very rude) partner – or partners, if you're so inclined – stands up, locates their cell phone, logs into this app and registers the fact they just got laid.

What would your first reaction be?
