Rumuki App Strives to Keep Your Sex Tapes Secure

Double-key protection prevents your racy videos from being viewed without mutual consent.

In our increasingly connected society where it seems like every app, program, or social media platform is demanding we share everything, it is too easy to have serious regrets about doing so. And once something is uploaded online, it is often too late to do anything about it.

This is especially true when it comes to personal sex videos and erotic photos. There is a gaining momentum against sexual revenge sites, on which ethically challenged people share explicit and intimate images of former partners without permission and often with the intention of shaming and degrading them. However, most developers have sidestepped creating a way for couples to enjoy making their own erotic videos safely, without fear of what’s created ending up on the web if the relationship goes south.

This is where Nathan Kot steps in. He has created Rumuki, an iOS app (Android coming soon) designed from the ground up to give partners real security when it comes to recording their intimate moments.

How Rumuki works

The app secures itself with a two-key system with video encryption, which makes it so videos can only be replayed with the permission of both parties.

More specifically, you record a video on one iPhone while it is linked to a second one also using the Rumuki app. Once filming is complete, the video is automatically encrypted and each user is sent a special digital key. To unlock and play the video, users must get permission from the other first.

For those concerned about being hacked, rest assured: the only thing ever transmitted are the permission keys. The video always remaining on the phones involved, with no way for it to be removed or shared.

If for some reason any party has second thoughts, they can delete the video on both phones by throwing away the digital key within the app. It also revokes any viewing permissions previously granted.

This isn’t to say that someone might not be able to hack the app, or even just record a video using another device. Beyond that, we'd like to suggest an option to include three phones in the loop, for those who like their sexy videos with more than just two people.

Still, it’s good to see someone taking privacy concerns, especially when they involve sexuality, seriously. You could even say that apps like Rumuki are one of those things that should always be shared.

M. Christian

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
