You Sexty Thing, You!

Surely Sarabhai would be happy with this use of the Arts (i.e. CollegeHumor's dance song skit!) to deliver a cautionary message about a common virtual-flirt move called sexting.

Sorry, I was editing and lost my video link! Arghhh...
Please bear with me. You can find the video here, along with an article.

I will try to retrieve the video again later.

Our sexuality is part of our humanity. This is a broad statement.
Let's include everything from the most conservative behavior to most liberal behavior- but let's not include deviante behaviors than transgresses human rights (like sex trafficking, rape, etc). Okay??

Before technology, we encountered one another exclusively in person. Examples range from conservative courtship rituals (for marriage) to orgies, right?

Eventually literacy led to private letter writing and public print (from love letters to erotic stories).

Then the telephone brought audio-calls. Ahhh, talking for hours with your beloved...or much more erotic conversations.

Online is the newest environment for humans to relate sexually with one another(including the imfamous mobile phone "sexting" phenomenon).

This media offers audio, picture and video venues for interacting with one another. The behaviors may happen live, but it almost certainly leaves a record (even if "deleted"). Additionally, it is usually quite easily forwarded, as the Collegehumor video points out!
