If you think people who turn their noses up at wearable technology like Google Glass are overreacting a tad, I have bad news.

Thanks to the imminent arrival of Google Glass porn, I just got creeped out for the first time about the prospect of a Glass-filled future.

Android adult app store MiKandi told CNET sister site ZDNet:

Google Glass Porn has been making its rounds, and while studios are intrigued, no one seems to be doing anything about it. So I wanted to let you know that we picked up our Glass and, yup, we're making content for it.

Great. Now I will forever have a disturbing visual stuck in my head of the disturbing visuals that Glass users will be, well, sticking to the sides of their heads.

Of course, the potential of Glass isn't just about that tiny display pointed at the user; it's also about the outward-facing camera, which presents lots of new opportunities for, um, all sorts of filmmaking.

MiKandi, which is home to thousands of "not safe for work" (NSFW) and adult apps, says it's seeking to create content with Glass as well as for Glass. The company says fans can expect to see the first Glass app in its market as soon as this week.

So be warned, Glass fans: If it appears that you are a little too interested in what's going on in the upper right corner of your field of vision, there could be good reason to assume you might be a little bit creepy.
