“Wii Fit for Sex”: Pornhub Launches Virtual Sexercise Platform — Really
I mean, I honestly don’t even know where to start with this post, so I guess I’ll just state the facts plain and clear: The website Pornhub just launched a gamified virtual fitness platform called — wait for it — BangFit. In case you hadn’t already figured it out, the idea is that it will get you fit while you, ahem, get it on. As the press release says, “Think Wii Fit but for sex.”
Per the press release:
“BangFit displays — on laptop, desktop, and tablets — a sex-based workout regimen with avatars for players to mimic. This consists of basic positions as well as more acrobatic and athletic positions, like “Squat and Thrust and “Missionary Press.” Using a synched smartphone, which players affix to their bodies and which utilizes accelerometer and gyroscope technology, the game tracks the number of repetitions successfully completed, and scores and counts the calories burned.”
So basically, you and your partner (or just you — there’s also a solo option) try to mimic porn and, at the end, the game tells you how many calories you burned. By the way, in order to keep track of calories burned, you affix your smartphone to your body with a belt-like band. It is not sexy.
According to BangFit’s website (click through at your own risk), the game “combines the cardio of Zumba, the intensity of CrossFit, and the flexibility of yoga (mixed with your favorite sport).” On the site, you can also see just how many calories certain positions burn on average, though the numbers are honestly kind of disappointing.
And there you have it: Today’s news that will make you shake your head at what technology has done to us.
