Pornhub's new app creates 'SFW' naked selfies you can share with everyone
Finally there's a way to share your naked selfies with your friends and family in a SFW way. Wait...whaaaaa?
It may sound strange, but it's true. Pornhub, the massive adult entertainment platform, is launching its own take on Snapchat for nude photos. TrickPics, as they're calling it, is an app that let's you put little filters over your most private bits so you can share them on regular social media platforms. It's available today for both iOS and Android.
There are plenty of goofy filters for both men and women. Selections for dudes include the charming "Trouser Snake," "Hand Solo" (for all the Star Wars fans), and the Trump-inspired "Big Wig."
Ladies have options for up top, including "Knock Knockers" (literal door knockers you put on your nipples) and "Mile Highs" (which are little propellers). For the nether regions, you can pick from things like "Lockdown" (a chastity belt with a swinging lock) and "Instaclam" (which opens to reveal a precious pearl).
All you need to do to trick yourself out is take a selfie in the buff (or you can use one from your library), adjust it to the size you want, and pop one of the animations over your junk. Then you can share away. But proceed with caution as these filters only obscure so much, and whether the resulting SFW image is, in fact, safe for work depends entirely on where you work.
You may be wondering why we even need this.
Well, Corey Price, VP of Pornhub, said in a statement, “Selfies have become a popular form of self-expression it today’s society. They are essentially the self-portrait of the digital age, capturing individuals in all their glory."
Pornhub believes you should be able to share all that glory -- even the naked kind -- with everyone, and that can be kind of hard to do at the moment.
Instagram, Snapchat, and loads of other services are very strict about not letting you post lewd content publicly. You can obviously already use other apps to put all manner of stickers over your bits, but TrickPics offers the added fun of dick puns and boob jokes.
So if you're the kind of person who wants to show off your nude selfies to all your nearest and dearest, then this could be your jam.
Though maybe it's worth first considering whether your family and your random Facebook friends really want to get that up close and personal with you...
