Cools stuff, it seems like you guys made quite a jump from the previous version of the platform! Looks cooler now. How do you handle the video chat? Local plugin or external service?

You are totally right saying "ask them". Unfortunately not all people find easy to share their sex fantasies openly, nor they like to be judged when they do, also they might just look for new ideas. The use of Sexycrets should be to take away the aspect of communication that might make feel people uncomfortable selecting just the desires both of the partners like and sharing just those with them two.

The sign up is for letting you vote, make sure users vote a tip just one time. Also when you login you can see all the tips in one page and divided in categories, create your profile and (in the next versions) get in touch with people with your same desires.

If you click the "No, thanks" link under the subscription button you will get access to the tips. The difference when you subscribe is you can vote them, search them by tags, and see them all in one infinite scrolling page.

Good point.

When I implemented the votes I was thinking to use them on a single tip in this way you have your own list of tips you DO like, you DO NOT like and you MIGHT try. So the ranking is not between a tip and the other but an quality indicator of if you like that particular tip or not. Does it make sense?

See you are totally right what you say it is about communicating (listening, understanding and talking). Unfortunately this does not come so natural to everyone and talking with sexologist they tell me that the (lack of) good communication is what brings their patients to see them. Sexycrets wanted to give some better tool to improve this communication.

Actually I was hoping to create something more interactive, like two people who have sex (or want to) in the real life and are too shy to share their fantasies. So with this you could vote them and, apart from getting new ideas, you would be notified just of the tips your partner DOES like and he/she of the ones you DO like.

Well, at first one of my ideas was to allow users to vote the tips they liked most and having them matched with other users (of the sex they were interested into) interested in doing the same things. Also for already established sex relationships I thought this could have been a tool where both can select what they like and we show them just what they both like. In this way we take away the negative embarrassment of getting your ideas refused. What about it?

Any ideas, constructive criticism and comments are more than welcome. I created this thinking that a good way to improve your sex life is to know what your partners would actually like and so I gave them a place where to write it and vote it. Hope you like it! I want to improve it now

It depends on where I pull the traffic from: when I post on social networks, like Tumblr, I usually get at most 3 concurrent at a time. If they come from direct source they are usually more spread around the clock also due to their time zones differences. The peak I had was when I wrote a comment on the Sex channel on Reddit right after the launch of my platform (http://www.sexycrets.com) a few months ago.
