adult-only social networks

by Violet Blue on August 15, 2009

When cleaning up my site pages, I saw that on of the old links had been hijacked with a redirect to Rudespace. Sure, the people who’d previously owned the site had packed up shop so it’s all business, right? Anyway, I think we’re going to see more and more Online Booty Calls kind of sites until the perfect sex-positive, all-levels of participation, sophisticatedly written (from a tech perspective) social network finds that sweet spot. And Rudespace (Joomla) is just on the OBC side of the fence so I thought I’d see if anyone using any sites like Rudespace with any results, good or bad. Or even what they might be good for, or what to look out for when using adult-only social networking sites. Or if it’s hot. I mean, is it like OK Cupid with gloryholes?

Let me know. Otherwise I’ll have to join a few sites, experiment, and… you know what happens after this. An article, nestled in a lot of either a) hilarious or b) cryptic NSFW Tweets, pictures and blog posts. Then maybe a video. Followed by either a few days of quiet on all fronts, or three months of gloomy NSFW Tweets, pictures and blog posts.

I’m kidding. Sorta.

Makes me wonder if “three fingers” would have been an acceptable answer.
