Dipsea - Short, erotic stories made by women for women.

@danirogerc bc the majority of all erotic content (read: tube sites like pornhub) are almost entirely from the male perspective. i think it's smart -- better to start out getting a smaller group of people to love you, then expand to the male market IF there is demand for it (i.e., 70% of pornhub viewers today are men)

@danirogerc @polly_claire haven't tried this but I assume that the stories can be read and enjoyed by anyone 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just because they are written with women in mind, doesn't mean nobody else can enjoy them 😛

@danirogerc @polly_claire @anna_0x Hi Anna! Definitely. Dipsea was designed with women in mind, but is a place for anyone interested. Our content is guided by psychological factors (i.e. context setting, narrative inspiration) that research points to being particularly important for female arousal, but by no means do we think those effects are only felt by women :)

@danirogerc @polly_claire @gina__gutierrez Agreed. And it’s not like the stories I read that are written from a male point of view and meant to be read my males are not —UMM— interesting 😅 So the same must be true the other way around.

@gina_gutierrez @polly_claire Fan of you for forever, Polly!!! Thanks for paving the way through the deep snow, those tracks are truly helping us to fly. How's that for a mixed metaphor?

@helenaronis We do the production, and it varies based on the story

@anna_0x Hi Anna, sorry to disappoint. There are diverse legal implications to offering content of this kind in each country. We haven't invested in working through those legalities globally, but do offer our iOS app in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada for the time being (our content is in English).

@gina__gutierrez I understand that the content is in English, since the website and app description are also in English. But you do realize that almost everyone who lives in a developed country and owns a smartphone understands English, right? If a user reads the description and can understand what the app is about, then they'd be able to understand the content as well. I don't know anything about the legal implications, but if it's legal in the "US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada" then I highly doubt it's illegal in other Western countries :) In any case, what the harm in mentioning it *somewhere*, anywhere :/ There's nothing on product hunt or on your website that suggests that the app is not available in all countries. It would only take a one line note in the footer. But it seems that people living in America tend to forget that not every single person on Earth does, thus it doesn't occur to them to mention it. Sorry for the slightly harsh words, but it see you everywhere and it really gets on my nerves.

@anna_0x To reframe for a minute, it's not that we *don't* want to offer our content to absolutely everyone. Putting aside good intentions (which you don't need to presume that we have), that would be a poor business decision. It's not a question of whether or not we are legal in countries, it's a question of what terms and conditions we share to be compliant, and it's an expensive investment to explore that thoroughly in each new country and territory. Any company does the best it can to decide what investments are appropriate when -- we're just trying our best. At this point we're generating enough attention that I agree we're ready to state which countries we're currently accessible to. My best, Gina
