Behold! A Live Sex Map!

Ami AngelowiczFebruary 3, 2010 //

Have you ever lain in bed on a lonely night and wondered, “How many people are getting laid right now while I’m reading my book and sipping tea?” Well, wonder no more because this site I Just Made Love will show you exactly how many people are getting busy right now. The count for today is already at 72,190. Wow, I feel left out. You can also zoom in on your country/state/city and peep the sex habits of these anonymous others. Details include sexual orientation, positions, where the sex act occurred, and how good the sexee perceived it to be. I was pleased to discover that the map even includes entries by masturbators. Woo-hoo self-love! And if you’re interested in this holiday they call Valentine’s Day, the site is doing a special event on Feb.14 where it will change into a global map where everyone can add their own love spots.

Will You Be Sending A Hottie Gram This V-Day?

Ami AngelowiczFebruary 2, 2010 //

If I actually had a special someone this V-day, I imagine that if I had to send some sort of card, I would go with an e-card. Maybe something ridonkulous like Pauly D from “Jersey Shore” or something appropriately cynical like this e-card. But would I send my guy a naked chick? Not so much. Well, Playboy thinks we ladies will be falling all over ourselves to send nakey e-cards featuring their bunnies. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, they’ve launched their new line of “Hottie Grams.” Ugh. Keep reading »

The single-people celebrations tend towards bad-ass-ery, sex, and fun, free of pudgy cupids. The New York Times ran a piece yesterday offering suggestions on how we can all make our V-Day experiences a little more, ahem, risqué than cheap champagne. Keep reading »
