Over at Shake Well Before Use, my close friend Ariel Waldman shows us Bedpost, which is still in alpha but endeavors to give users a utility to utterly, possibly scarily geek out with your very own DIY sexual experience data aggregator.

Bedpost, a web 2.0 application that remains in alpha, aims to give you insights about your sex life. By entering in partners, time durations and tags to describe your “doing the horizontal” data, the app appears to build a calendar of stats and averages.

@Bedpost Check out the gender selections on Pownce – might provide inspiration of expanding “definitive definitions”. Includes transgender, etc. “It’s complicated” irks me quite a bit.

Hi! What tweaking would you like to see on the gender selections? We’re very open to suggestions!
