There’s Now An App Specifically For Sex Workers And Queer Folks

There’s a new app that picks up where mainstream social media apps leave off: namely, sex. Lips is a social app specifically for “free sexual expression.” Since its recent launch, it’s become a haven for sex workers, sex educators, erotic artists, and LGBTQ folks.

Lips reached 10,000 users in its first month, due to the app’s outward support of sex workers. The need for pro-sex worker spaces is apparent, as social media giants like Facebook and Instagram regularly ban legal and artistic sexual content. The app is growing at over 1,000 users per month without massive funds or advertising—but is not surprisingly facing setbacks over prudish investors.

New Social Network Welcomes Sexual Content

There’s now an answer to the problem sex workers have faced on social media: Lips, a new social network that welcomes free sexual expression. Founder Annie Brown and her team want users — sex workers, erotic artists, queer people, activists, and more — to post without fear of censorship or harassment. Mainstream social networks like Facebook and Instagram have a strict no-nudity policy, while Tumblr banned adult content in 2018 after being a beacon for sex/sexuality education and porn gifs.

“If someone’s being deplatformed, or before they’re deplatformed, or they feel like social media is a mental strain on them, that they’ll know the name Lips and that they’ll be able to come to us and have this space where they can finally be themselves without fear of trolling or bias censorship,” Lips says. The progressive social network is based around consent: users choose what content they want and don’t want to see. Trolls aren’t allowed on Lips—everyone who wants to post on Lips needs to be approved, and the application process is meant to “scare off” some of the trolls.
