Cellphones set to get you off

LatinStar13 02-11-2007

I'm having sex on my cellphone. No, I'm not dirty-texting my ex or using the vibration mode as a kinky toy. I'm making game avatars on my tiny screen fuck missionary-, doggy-style and so on by hitting combinations on the keypad.

Welcome to Goma Sex, the first sex game available for North American cellphones. Created by Chicago-based Goma Systems, it's set solely in a bedroom, with a naked couple facing each other and ready for some raunchiness. Within five minutes, I have to put these Sims-like characters in as many positions as possible, including foreplay, to accumulate points. When five minutes are up, I'm dubbed a college stud, swinging bachelor, Casanova or master. Even if I just stand there, I somehow reach college stud glory, despite being closer to adolescent shyness.

Goma Sex (and its guy-on-guy gay variation, Rainbeau Café) is mildly entertaining at best, giving the cell owner no real erotic excitement or gameplay intensity. Rather, it's important for what it signifies: sex as a central function of mobile games. After all, North American wireless carriers are still ignoring all adult-oriented games, which explains why Goma only sells its dirty simulators online.

In April 2006, Cingular and Verizon created content restriction guidelines prohibiting the distribution of pornographic material. Cingular went so far as to ban the words "lesbian," "condom" and "pee-pee" from all gaming content. But even if the wireless industry is stiff-arming sex games, manufacturers like Goma are optimistic.

"If sex drove the rise of cable TV and the Internet, sex will drive the popularity of cellphone games," says Kevin Lyons, vice-president of Goma Systems.

Meanwhile up here Telus finally decided to allow people to DL freely form the internet (used to be you could only DL stuff off the telus site, and it had to be signed to play so you could not even upload it from your comp) with the disclaimer that you need to be aware of what you DL. Because this allows for porn downloads people are actually dropping Telus as a provider for not restricting porn.

What about all the sex porno games out there, isn't this about the same thing really? And from what every says they all mostly suck anyway.

Oops my bad onthe Telus thing, they just actually started hostin porn for downloads (requires credit card and the phone must be registered to a non-minor.

Apparently that has killed 10% of cell renewals, stupid people with their head in their ass.
