A Calendar App for the Hookup Woman
12/12/2014



Dear Dr. Laura, 

I was listening to the radio music station on the drive to work this morning, and there was a doctor on who invented a calendar app for sexual activity. It's for "health" - as she describes it - a calendar, where woman can document their hookups in case they caught a STD and/or got an unwanted pregnancy. She said, "I invented this app because women - especially college women - hookup all the time and may be drinking at a party and forget who they've hooked up with.  Women need a way to trace back to the person they slept with.  We also have categories of sexual acts. This app is very popular on college campuses, as a matter of fact, I was just at Boston College , a private Catholic University , last night and women love it. We also have T-shirts that women love!" 

Even when the radio hosts were being sarcastic and trying their best not to call these woman sluts, their comments just seemed to go right over the doctor's head. She just said, "You can't believe the stories I hear daily from women. It's definitely a need." After which a woman called in to complain that her boyfriend of three years just got a call from an ex claiming he was the father of her 5-year-old son. But she doesn't believe it "because they only had sex, like, twice." 

BTW, the app costs, $0.99.
