Wired: "Naughty, But Only on the Internet"

[bhg08054]

From an article I read today in Wired, by Regina Lynn:


It's a cliché that on the internet that no one knows you're a dog but everyone suspects you're a man. And as the joke goes, the hotter the female avatar, the uglier the man at the keyboard.

But during my first same-sex experience in a chat room online, everyone in the room knew we were two women having sex.

It was closest I have ever come to having sex with a woman, and until that point, I would have told anyone who asked that I was 100 percent straight -- certainly no more than a .5 on the ancient Kinsey Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale. I had no interest in women at all, not even in my fantasies or in porn.

We began a little performance for the men in the chat, each of us wondering whether the other would chicken out.

An interesting read!

Thanks for the link! Miss Lynn certainly shows a lot of courage and understanding of an area that gets a lot of criticism. All in all, a very refreshing and enlightening article.

Interesting article, thank you bhg. I think the majority has had thoughts or had some sort of brush with the idea of same sex encounters whether they'll admit it or not.

I'd never heard of the concept of bisexuality til one day (in a galaxy long ago and far away) I was chatting on the internet and someone asked me what my deepest darkest fantasy was.........

and my fingers typed out "someday, I want to make love with a beautiful black woman..." and I was more startled than anyone else at my response!

Then someone else said, "Oh you need to check out the bisexual forum" and I asked what's that?....and the rest is history ;)
