hello world

This blog is an experiment. Last night, while lolling about in a pleasant haze of the wacky tobaccy, whiskey, beer, and shredded oat squares, Adam and I came to the simultaneous realization that enough weird shit has happened to both of us that we should start a blog about it. Then we passed out spooning in our clothes with all the lights on, snacks halfway to our mouths, for a solid eight hours. That’s kind of how we roll.

But in a feat of memory perhaps ordained by God, we recalled our idea when we awoke, and still liked it. So here we are. Why a blog? I can’t come up with a satisfactory answer, but I will say this: the urge to disclose is much older than the internet. Ever since the first sinner gave confession, we’ve been using anonymous sounding boards as a way to make sense of our lives. This is only the most recent incarnation of a basic human urge that’s always been with us.

We are also hoping that people will tell some of their own stories back to us. Unlike sexual powerhouses College Call Girl and One D at a Time (both of which I read and love), we have little that sets us apart from the average reader. We are not sex workers, dedicated sluts, or even particularly experienced. We are just a couple of (relatively) normal people, a boy and a girl, who think a healthy approach to sexuality can help us understand ourselves. If that bores people, we’ll scrap it with no hesitation. But I am hoping to connect with some folks in that magical, alien-yet-intimate way that can only be found on the devil’s series of tubes.

Another thing about me: I’m obsessively self-analytical, even going so far as to keep a Word document of everyone with whom I’ve had relations, complete with pictures and a mandatory sentence on “what I learned,” even if it’s something dumb and obvious like “don’t fuck your roommates.” So I guess this is sort of an extension of that for me.

We hope you like it.
