A Pimp Right In Your Pocket

Ever feel like paying for sex, but you didn't want to go through a messy escort service or, worse yet, a violent pimp? This new app just might be the answer to your prayers!

Peppr.it is a new app from Berlin-based entrepreneur Pia Poppenreiter which allows users to search a database of female and male "escorts" close to them, and sorts them in a number of ways, based on body type, hair and eye color, skin color, even very specific stuff like length of pubic hair or kink factor.

The app's structure is very similar to the popular Tinder, but the ability to tailor your choices so specifically is what sets it apart. When reflecting on what gave her the idea to start this app, Poppenreiter says it came out of practicality.

I was walking down Oranienburger Strasse [Berlin's red light district] — I know it sounds cheesy, but it's the truth — it was chilly and I saw the poor girls on the streets, and I thought, why isn't there an app? It's not efficient to wait outside.

While the current listings are for European girls, the app was only just rolled out in April, and prostitution is legal in Germany, which allows them to skirt all the messy legal issues that currently plague the States.

Poppenreiter's focus is on the safety of the girls, and making sure that they get a share of the $7-$14 booking fee. She also wants to change people's perception of sex, and refocusing their attention on how sleek and modern it can be in this technological age. If they ever make it stateside, count us in!
