Look! Condoms!

Apparently, unlike BlogHer, there’s no condom vendors at South by Southwest for Nick Douglas (nee: Valleywag, whose launch we blogged once-upon-a-time, now lost to the mists of dead servers) to whore himself out to for a sponsorship at his video blog, Look! Shiny!.

Bubble Hotties: Dating In Public

Like many of the great sex and romance axioms of our time, this one was born out of Instant Messenger.

We Have the Internet to Rebuild Us: Why Our Generation Does it Better in Public

There’s so much to return to and do a (as my favorite sex profs said in University) deep reading of in this feature from this week’s New York magazine, Kids, the Internet, and the End of Privacy — which so touches (in all the right ways) on the sex & the internet zeitgeist we’ve been [...]

The Sexerati Guide to Unpersonals, Old School Edition: LiveJournal and Make Out Club
