I get that most people who use Glow will probably be in heterosexual relationships (straight), since most people are anyway (survival of the species y'all), but I do have a few complaints about the way Glow addresses their OTHER demographics. I will also disclaimer that (a) I am already a premium member with no intention of cancelling that; most of what I actually use on here is relevant to me. That being said... There are some features that I do not use because I do not know how they would pertain to my relationship with my wife, or because they just flat out aren't relevant to me/us. Anyone else who agrees or has their own gendered gripes about this app to chime in with, please do!

1) I sent a link to my wife, because once we get a little closer she's going to help with a lot more logging. My Glow app insists that she is a "he" even though during sign up female was definitely marked. My wife isn't using the partner logging features yet, but every day when I log in I see that my assumed-male partner has not logged yet. It's a minor annoyance, really, but if the app can form-fill the name (as it does) it can EASILY form-fill the gender too, instead of defaulting to "he" for everyone.

2) The sex positions and orgasms. As a lesbian, sex doesn't have exactly the same boundaries/limitations of definition/etc that most non-lesbian couples do. For example, there is never a man on top for sex, never a man behind, never a man below... You get me? And "female orgasm" is unnecessarily ambiguous for lesbian couples when it could really mean exactly the same thing for straight couples if it was rephrased to "Did YOU orgasm". Same number of letters even. This is how I am already taking this one; sex with no orgasm = I gave my wife some but she did not give me any; sex with orgasm = she gave me some; multi sex = we gave each other some... And all positions blank. I know that the assumption is that sex being logged is usually to manage pregnancy chances, but some of us do log for different reasons and the risk of pregnancy from sex is not an issue.

3. Does not apply to me personally, but I'd like to see the option of multiple partners represented for those who do have multiple partners (maybe even include "self" as a partner to track self-love!). For those who do have multiple partners, it can be necessary to keep track of different things with each.

I can't think of anything else at this exact moment. Can someone else join in?
