As mentioned, I do love a good double entendre.

(Full disclosure: my regulars know this is one from the archives, but bear with me. There's a couple follow ups. A dick trilogy if you will)

I read an article in Business 2.0 about AdultFriendFinder and was somewhat surprised to find that it is one of the fastest growing online communities and ranks in the top 100 of most popular websites in the US. This I had to see.....

I created a user name. Man, that was quite a challenge given that there are SO many people on it and so few names left to choose from. All the obvious ones are gone. Forget anything with blonde in the title - the competition is fierce. Finally, I managed to think of something available, created a one line profile and - boom- I was in. Tits and dicks abound - as one would expect - complete with myriad claims of sexual prowess. A common theme seemed to be the desire to CAPITALIZE EVERYTHING and punctuate with dozens of exclaimation points. FREAKY AND HORNY!!!!!!!! for example.

Cut to the following morning. As I drank my tea and ate my cornflakes, I remembered the profile and so checked out my inbox. Hence my title. More dicks than I have ever seen at one time and certainly more than I'd seen during breakfast. A penis plethora. An abundance of appendage. Dick-a-licious (I've re-spelled him to protect his privacy) had a giant penis and a dubious shot of his bathroom floor. Note to dick photographers - get someone else to take it. You cannot do it yourself. But if you must, please clean your bathroom floor. Or trim your toenails.

I know it's a hook up site, but still, the speed at which the dicks popped up took my breath away. (Kinda rolling with the double entendre thing - sue me). My profile was not explicit. It had one line "looking for a friend" and no photo.

In amongst the profiles, I found earnest descriptions of men looking for love. Wrong site for you my love. You with your earnest smile and Kmart jacket.

So, what I am wondering is.... we all have friends, family, colleagues to hang out with. And now there's an incredibly easy way to get laid. It's like ordering in - just IM one of those big dicks and have them come right over. (Must stop with the double entendre. This is not Viz)

Are romantic relationships becoming obsolete?

Thoughts people.....
