Stripchat Launches “Anal-ytics,” Video Recognition Technology Trained to Detect Butt Sex to make Finding Live Anal Content a Less Stinky
NEW YORK (August 27, 2020) – Stripchat, a leading free online adult entertainment and live camming platform that averages over 60 million visits per month, today announced the launch of “Anal-ytics,” the industry’s first video recognition technology trained to detect butt sex, a popular search on the site. The AI-powered technologies able to identify — with 92 percent accuracy — that butt sex is occurring in a live feed. It also queues up this verified stream into the anal category and searches.
“The poop shoot is the preferred for many of our users, so we’re incredibly excited to introduce this technology. It allows users to more easily find the content for which they’re in the mood,” said Max Bennett, VP of New Media for Stripchat. “Tube sites have been able to do this for years with porn because it’s pre-recorded, but this is the first time that live videos will be sorted into specific categories based on what’s happening during the stream. There’s just something special about knowing your favorite cam model is doing butt stuff in that very moment. It helps you to jump straight into the action.”
To train Stripchat’s machine learning algorithm to understand which scenes include anal sex, Stripchat’s team of developers reviewed tens of thousands of images and videos, marking instances where anal are present in a scene. This allowed the team to establish a convolutional neural network (CNN) that allows the AI to perceive a typical scenario for a given scene. For example, if the AI detects a live video where penis is next to something that looks like a but hole, it will automatically register it as an anal scene.

In addition to users, the new feature will also be beneficial to the thousands of cam models who stream on Stripchat’s site. By adding popular categories under which their streams can appear, their videos will receive more traffic and ultimately enable them to build up their fan base. In the coming months, Stripchat plans to implement the same feature for other fan favorites such as live BDSM shows, squirting, and fisting.
After continuous beta for the last four months, the feature is now available to all Stripchat users worldwide. The team is also testing similar technology for oral sex.
One of the Stripchat’s team developers commented about the beginning of the development process: ‘It is inspiring to receive such competitive tasks like this one. It helps you fulfill yourself and understand that there are still billions of exciting things you can develop. In a few simple words, we faced the task of determining the presence of a scene anal during live stream hosted by models. Moreover, our interest fell on detecting a scene with the least delay in time, since we are processing not offline, but online content. It was an essential goal because only by achieving this, we could bring a live scene to a user and ensure the best tailored experience.’
