YouPorn Launches 'Sexy Lingo' Web App To Flirt Across The Language Barrier

YouPorn, the website you visit when you've run out of Tower Defense games to play earlier this morning, is today launching Sexy Lingo, a web-based app designed to help you flirt in a language that is not your own. This is good news for those of you who spend a lot of time on International single cruises.

Sexy Lingo offers language lessons to help those of any gender flirt with someone else of any gender in a different language, because the world is complex and diverse. The four lesson categories are 'The Basics', 'Starting a Conversation', 'Flirting' and 'Closing the Deal'. While that last one might elicit a bit of a cringe, it still remains that dating or even hooking up is generally a zero sum game and still uses terminology that might not fit with all modern sensibilities.

As of its release, Sexy Lingo focuses on helping you learn to less awkwardly barf out your terrible pick-up lines in French, English, Portuguese and Spanish. Three of those are romance languages, and one of those is routinely mangled by New England Patriots fans. If you are familiar with romance languages — modern languages that are evolved from Vulgar Latin and are a subgroup of Italic languages — then you'll notice that the app is missing Italian and Romanian, for the romance language pentagon. It being an app creating by a porn website, starting with at least 60% of the romance languages makes sense. As of release, it is unknown if YouPorn plans on adding additional languages.

"Communicating in another language, especially in a foreign country, can be difficult for many," said Charlie Hughes, Vice President of YouPorn in a press release. "From understanding the proper use of nouns to establishing consent, misreading signs and saying a phrase that may come off as offensive are all problems men and women face. Through the step-by-step lessons, Sexy Lingo eliminates the language barrier and will give men and women an equal opportunity to level the playing field amongst native speakers."

In the 'Basics' you'll learn basic nouns and pronouns, as well as their designations. This is about as far as you got in two years of Spanish in high school. 'Starting a Conversation' goes into greetings, questions, places and times, adjectives and activities. À quelle heure la place des ramen est-elle ouverte? 'Flirting' delves into compliments and conversation starters, a bit more advanced. Bonjour, voulez-vous manger des ramen sur le bord de la route? Chats. The final lesson is filled with intimate words, because YouPorn, and most importantly — words to establish consent. Acceptez-vous de manger ce ramen de manière tentante?

While you could take your commitment to learning a new language a bit further by downloading an app like Duolingo and actually putting in the time, Sexy Lingo is that shortcut you might be looking for, like eating cinnamon raisin toast and calling it fruit. If anything, stumbling through a new language in order to flirt with a possible mate will certainly create delightfully awkward situations that wouldn't have been avoided anyway. At least you'll have some words for it.

YouPorn's Sexy Lingo app is available for use today, or you can continue to ignore your Duolingo notifications and wing it with hand gestures and badly timed nods.
