Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Bang With Friends is the latest app for Facebook. It’s a brand-new way for you to ask your Facebook friends for sex.
Forget roses, chocolates, or an expensive trinket. You no longer have to think about another person in order to express love; all you need to do is satisfy your own banal instincts by downloading this app, and Voila! You’ll see pictures of your friends with the button, “click to bang,” underneath. If they have the app installed, they’ll get a notification that you want to get together.
No parent in her right mind wants her daughter or son to engage in this type of ridiculous and demeaning behavior, so take a look at the apps that your teen or preteen has on his or her phone. Maybe she doesn’t want to participate, but she may because she doesn’t want to look like the prude in her group. How sad is this for our children?
First of all, the idea of soliciting or engaging in “sex” via electronic gadgetry is for those who don’t have the mental or emotional integrity to come face to face with their sexual partner or potential partner. They might argue that being in the same room with their sexual partner is unnecessary because, well, cyber sex really isn’t sex, is it? But that’s not what bothers me most about this app. The real sordidness of this lies with the extreme lack of intimacy and debasement of the individual.
Add to that the fact that the one asking for sex does so with multiple partners. Those who agree to have sex with numerous people would argue that monogamy—even “cyber monogamy”—is outdated and reflects the values of an emotionally inhibited, prudish, sex-fearing person. Quite the opposite is true. In fact, those who love sex and get the most out of it are the ones who don’t throw it about, allowing it to become trash in another person’s yard.
