    Do people need an app to tell them they’re horny?

    This is like the old mood ring craze. For starters, they measure skin temperature. Does skin temperature correlate with mood? Kinda. Sorta. Not really. But let’s assume they work. Do you need a ring to tell you what you’re feeling? Maybe that’s a sign in itself that you have a poor connection with your emotional state.

    Could they even work as a tool to help build that internal emotional attachment? Assuming they work at all, maybe. I don’t think people used them that way. Would the app do any better? Maybe.

      It’s a period tracking app. If you feel shitty for no reason and have some mood variation you can check the app, and more likely than not it tells you your period starts in a few days based on historicals. Following period, ovulation, so mega horny. Has nothing to do with guessing mood.

      That’s a menstrual cycle thing, though, right? A bit different from skin-temperature rings, I’d wager.

        It probably works better, and yes, it has other purposes, too. But do you need it to tell you this?

          Ive never been a woman, so I cant speak with authority here, but I think I’d like instructions about my moods like that.

          “This is literally as unhappy as you’ll be this whole month, nows the time for that emergency ice cream.”

          “You wont get hornier than this, if you feel like you owe your partner one, this is the best shot”

          “This is the happiest day of your year. Buckle up champ its all downhill from here”

          IDK dude, I don’t have a menstrual cycle and I don’t care about when I’m most horny. So, I don’t need an app for this, but maybe for someone else it might be useful. I don’t know!

      I would suggest you educate yourself on women’s biology. It will help you immensely in relationships.

          Fair. I will say I’ve had relationships with women who’s cycles have been more level and others who go through major swings, including on the horny scale. So maybe it’s just that my exposure to that gives a different context to the meme.
