This will be the first in a series of an open call for interviews for a nonfiction project I’m working on about love, sex and technology. For this first set of interviews, I’ll be email interviewing a handful of people from all genders and sexual orientations about sexual relationships they’re having (or have had in the past) with people who are not their real life (IRL) primary partners. The interviews are conducted exclusively via email so both parties can be assured of accurate quotes, and so anonymity and/or preferred pseudonyms are absolutely clear. I can assure you that no one is working on a project like this, especially not anyone who encourages diversity or sex-positivity. It’s a mainstream project.
This will be for published work. I write openly, non-judgmentally and respectfully about sexuality, gender and kink; I’m encouraging people from all genders and orientations to participate so I can make sure the spectrum of sexuality is represented. Please email me at ‘violet at tinynibbles dot com’ if you’d like to answer a question or two on the topics below. No matter what, when you email me please do explicitly state: a) if you’re okay with being quoted, and b) what name you want to use if you’re okay with being quoted. If you don’t want to be quoted that’s fine. I still want to hear from you. If you’re really nervous but still want to have your experience represented, use an email address and name that is not your own, just for this occasion. I also welcome input from online sex workers. Please email me if you want to answer a couple questions, and:
* Are in a real-life, long term relationship and enjoy sex online with someone who is not your real-life or committed partner.
* Are in a real-life, long term relationship and *your avatar* enjoys sex online with another avatar who is not your real-life or committed partner.
* Have a real-life lover or bf/gf/tf, and cruise for sex online in chatrooms, MMORPG’s, cams, other.
* Are techno-poly: you have an IRL partner (or partners, or swing), and have online sexual participants.
Deadline for response is July 25. Thank you in advance, and I look forward to hearing from anyone who can spare the time. Stay tuned, even if this isn’t your bag of chips: there are a couple more open calls for interviews on the way.
oh wow i so love to tell my story of loves being loved and being hurt by men in sl
Not sure how to sign up for this….
am totally the second description though. I would be more than happy to answer questions for you.
And nothing is better than this (is it?)
Bonzer! More agit brimstone to consume the guilt-ravaged moral absolutists slithering about the webbed space. The reverse Nachach are taking over it appears.
This project looks apex-level promising and way too much virtual fucking fun. Not a virtualist me-self but I enjoy the Nibbler’s takes on anything sexual so bring on the viz honey.
I have lived this life and would like to take part (anonymously). Tks.
* fyi, I was listening to an old Talking Heads album tonight when I wrote the title of this post. it’s not an opinion, or project title. just a great piece of music. :)
