Blurb -

The world is consumed with little three letter things, 'apps'. The latest and greatest sex app is called 'loc8r'. If you want it, it will hook you up with it, regardless if the 'taste'. What happens when someone mistakenly receives the 'master version' not only can they now find but create and control. What would you do with that kind of 'power'? Who is the user and who the used?

Wondering what authors 'feel' is for kinks that gain positive and negative feedback / scores.

it won't get written for a while as I have other pieces clamoring for my finger/time. it would likely be a serial with a different 'focus' on each chapter or series of chapters.

Wondering if anyone has tried something in this vein of thought before. It may be a bit sex slavey but I want to ask some deeper questions as it 'progresses'.

Writers thoughts in response greatly appreciated, F.

Stick to the job at hand.

Such a creative response. You obviously don't need my help.

It seems to me that any Non Consensual Tags / Stories are excluded by some people, and are probably 1 to 0.5 lower in scores than similar stories without such tags.

Some other people don't like / won't read sci-fi / magic stories with Mind Control.

I believe the crux of both of our stories is agency. Is your MC (Mind Control) Ap something that nudges the target, making them susceptible to inclinations they suppress; may they resist at all? Does this turn "Mother Teresa" into a wanton slut, or merely encourage a co-ed or "Soccer Mom" into exploring fantasies they always wanted to engage in, but they felt their partner, or hoped for partners, would be opposed to such fantasies?

For some people it is less the sex acts, and more about Control over others. There is a wide spectrum of readers here on SoL (and elsewhere). some are titillated by well written sex scenes, interesting characters and stories, and unlikely situations that have a plausible or not impetus for an "unobtainable" or merely difficult to obtain partner(s) facilitated via Deux Ex Machina. Some enjoy a "virtuous person" forced to become a "Meat Puppet" or "Fuck Doll" sex toy.

Prostitution and/or survival sex (a person provides sex for a place to stay, food, safety, etc.) is a squick for some people. There is almost always a difference of "power dynamics" in any relationship, sexual or not. Women, or other people, who willingly engage in sex for money (or whatever) often have a Man who protects them (not necessarily a pimp).

Back before I even thought of being a writer, several veterans, including myself, were cultivated to advise some aspiring and/or published authors. One of them had been a Dominatrix in NYC while attending college. Another had been a Callgirl during her grad school days. I have known a variety of strippers, escorts, and other prostitutes.

Not everyone who engages in prostitution is "trafficked" / pimped. Some are making a commercial decision; or profiting from sexual proclivities. Most people who engage in "Pay for Play" are, or have, experienced some Difficult situations. Many of my stories involve veterans who are emotionally distant and often have physical disabilities too, engaging with younger women and/or teen girls in a bad situation; often about to get worse.

I am sure some, perhaps many, feel, "Those scum are Exploiting those vulnerable girls / women!" Physically and financially there is a power discrepancy. However, over the course of the stories there are options, other than sex, for the characters. There is more to the stories than that, but that is what I think has a similarity to the story you are asking about.

For what its worth, I don't mind stories where the MC can "nudge" or somewhat manipulate another person to engage in sex with them. Reducing inhibitions is interesting.

Total mind control, especially if it causes people to do something completely against their inclinations is Rape!

If the person regains free will and memories, would they feel: Wow! Why didn't I do that before! Or would they be horribly traumatized?

I fail to comprehend what exactly you are saying here. What is the normal function of the app? What exactly "if you want it, it will hook you up with it" means and how it differs from any ordinary dating app?

So, you disclose your basiest nastiest desires to that app and it will give you pointers where to look for just that, even if nobody already on the app "provides" such a thing already? Or the app provides you with an endless questionnaire and then *decide* you might be interested in some outlandish wild stuff it knows where to get? Or it outright "reads mind" of users to hook them up in most kinkiest linkages possible?

Each of those versions offers different avenues for interference for someone gaining "admin access" to the data and/or presentation.

create and control

...what? I'm slow this rainy February day, but I don't follow.

Obviously, they could (try to) convince people that they are wanting more than they appear to be ready for, ambush people around them with wild offers, insert themself in situations they probably wouldn't have place in otherwise...

As said above, nudging would likely be the game here, at least if the MC was halfway competent, but the fun is likely in them being not quite, to say it mildly, at least in the beginning.

Speaking about sex apps... I had a concept for, basically gamified casual prostitution... it's probably at least slightly off topic here, but maybe at least tangentially thematic. So, once I'm here:

The app, the "game" comes bundled with subsidized Augmented Reality contact lenses (say, in college setting) or even some kind of Neurolink. Users can earn "coins" by performing tasks. At first those could be simple meaningless little things, but soon turn sexual.

Of course, I would use it to create voyeuristic fun with outdoors nudity, public indecency, exhibitionism, public sex. Likely watched by unseen patrons/masters through ubiquitous cctv cameras or otherwise. You never know whom, and not sure who else is on the game with you or not. You trust the app won't make you sexually assault unsuspecting innocents, but never really sure.

To her:

"Wear a short skirt today... +5c"

"Go to the park, that path up... +7c"

"Pull off your panties, right now... +25c"

"Sit on the third bench *there* pull feet up, knees wide... +50c"

Nobody's around, she's seemingly alone. She's sure some pervert is watching, benefiting from what she's doing, paying for it, but it's not obvious.

"Smile to the guy coming from the right, don't cover up... +60c"

Was it all for *him*?

No, but she doesn't know.

To him:

"Go trough the park, that way up... +3c"

"Casually compliment *the girl* don't stare at her exposed crotch too much, go by like nothing was out of ordinary... +20c"

...

"Catch the buss nr3... +5c"

"Stand right behind *the blonde* ... +7c"

"Fondle her breasts from behind... +35c"

Did *she* pay for it?

No. But he doesn't know.

To the blonde, moments before:

"The guy behind you is about to fondle your breasts, let him if he do... +75c"

Only when she accepted that, the guy get the go ahead.

Of course, by making a certain level in the "game", and/or paying in, one gets access to placing wishes. And/or indicate other *available* players and opportunity to spend credits to order direct actions.

Action offers aren't, on the surface, mandatory. There could, often should be multiple choice. One could refuse to act as requested without obvious penalty, just the opportunity cost. It's the job of the game to make it a habit to do as told, and convince the opportunity costs would snowball, and/or nothing they wouldn't do wouldn't be offered down the rabbit hole.

Gaining what seems "master" access, periodically or permanently, could be part of the game.
