Seriously. WTF is wrong with people?
36 percent of people leap on to Twitter or Facebook immediately after conjugal behavior.
. . .
Has this social-networking nonsense so completely gripped our very beings that we are nothing other than newscasters of our own ridiculous subjectivity?
I think we know the answer to that one. I'm lookin' at you, Meghan.
'post' is so passe. How about real time (fore)play by play?

funny that guys are twice as likely to tweet after sex... I'd think if they wanted to talk they could just rollover and talk to their partner, but maybe it's more about the "score" than a real connection.

Right you are sukabi. Most of us cave man types are all like, "hey look at me!" and "Look at what I just did!" I think it has deep seated origins from our childhood from wanting to impress our fathers. Kinda like the way that little prick Chimpy tried to impress Daddy Bush by taking thousands of innocent lives.

I must be showing my age, but I thought most people just passed out after sex.

pillow talk becomes cloud computing.

I much prefer this format. Blogging after, and during sex is very nice. Don't you agree my dear?

networking seems to be making people soulless.

Coozledad - Im 36 and I pretty much pass out after sex. Either we are showing our age or we pass out folks know how to do it right. :-)
Seriously, how good could it be that the next thought is going online???

what's up with the super syro-graph icons anyway?
Posted by: punaise | October 19, 2009 at 02:21 PM
spell check: Spirograph.
'my bad', says this nattering nabob of negativism
Posted by: punaise | October 19, 2009 at 02:27 PM
I wondered about the Spirographs, too, punaise. My kitties Avatar used to show up but now I just get a green sunburst looking thing.

I hate it when she Twitters someone else's screen name.

I think back to the time of my favored Smith Corona. No, that is not a farm implement or an early computer. It was a hand me down type writer. It caused you to do it right, as you had to actually replace the destroyed paper if you wrote too fast.
I shall not tweet. There is nothing I have to say that my computer can't print before I finish it. I thus won't be as spontaneous as I might be. The world will thank me by not texting a reply.

just how much penetrating analysis can you fit into 140 characters?
Posted by: punaise | October 19, 2009 at 03:43 PM
Apparently "kiss and tell" has become "kiss and tweet."
(And Punaise, you're brilliant.)

J, too kind. god forbid that I actually get some work done while sitting at my desk!
Posted by: punaise | October 19, 2009 at 04:39 PM
I have absolutely no idea what the spirograph thingies are. I guess Typepad is gradually ushering in avatars....
Posted by: watertiger | October 19, 2009 at 05:03 PM
I'd only consider tweeting/posting about it because it would be a landmark event...and the end of 'da dry spell'. (and I agree, if you do it right - there's nothing but ZZZZZZZZZzzz afterwards!!! Don't talk to me, I'm sleepin'!)

what is this "sex" thing about which you speak?
Posted by: punaise | October 19, 2009 at 06:39 PM
Punaise, right???
Posted by: Elspeth Ravenwind | October 19, 2009 at 06:49 PM
umm, yeah?
Posted by: punaise | October 19, 2009 at 06:52 PM
Ah, I knew there was a reason why I had no need for Twitter....
Posted by: montag | October 19, 2009 at 10:05 PM
I'm thinking the tweet-cam will kill kiss n key or the mass outbreak of blindness will.

Hee-Hee. Somebody upthread said, "penetrate". Hee- Hee.
