Sex at SXSW 2012 – The Ultimate SXSexy Guide for Sexy Geeks in Austin

It’s time for the world’s largest internet conference, SXSW Interactive 2012 in Austin, Texas. I will be there from (today) Thursday March 8 through Wednesday, and I am there primarily to be a brat. I’m also doing stuff like interviews and podcasts with various media outlets (like MSNBC, who did great coverage of my huge Sex at SXSW talk last year).

If you want to keep up with me the best way is either on my Twitter, my Facebook page, or just for photoblogging and galleries, Daily Violet. I plan to be as NSFW and problematic as possible. Outside of my personal channels, I’ll be covering bits and pieces with my usual happy-go-lucky attitude for CBS Interactive mostly on Pulp Tech.

Below is a list of SXSW sex tips, safer sex info, geek flirting tricks, sex-relevant (like privacy) panels/talks in this year’s lineup, sexual health and sex emergency resources in Austin.

If you see me hanging out at SXSW, come say hi! I have NSFW stickers for you, just ask :D

Alternately, if you see me running at SXSW, please shoot me with a Thorazine dart gun.
