  • New on Nerve, 3.24.08: You Look Scrabulous



    Are you a Scrabulous addict? (Or have you not yet plated the online tête-à-tête version of Scrabble?). Will Doig dives deep into the world of S.E.X.Y. Scrabulous, and uncovers new rules for the old game:

    There are two types of Scrabulous come-ons: the fizzy, giggly, coquettish flirtations Jack, Annie and Shaina are talking about, and the kind Alicia (who becomes so horny she has to touch herself) is talking about. And the kind that Barry is seeking. His open table solicited "bi married men" to challenge him to a game, and in response to my request for an interview, he'd only persistently ask, "How big is your c*ck?" He continued to press me for details about my personal dimensions and what I might like to do with him if we were in the same room, even while continuing the game at hand, laying down words like "thermal" and "bisque."

  • New on Nerve, 2.26.08: Searching for Normal

     

    Having to tell your date you've got herpes can be as irritating as an outbreak itself. Is dating only other people with your same sexually transmitted infection the solution? If you want to, you can, thanks to several websites that cater specifically to people with STIs. But some believe that corraling people into different dating pools based on health issues is a bad idea, as Lynn Harris reports.

    Many STI sufferers are opting out of the general singles population and sticking to their own private dating pool. Or ghetto, depending on who you're talking to. "Creating specific internet-dating sites for persons with STDs tends to perpetuate stigma by separating them from the general population," says Jeffrey D. Klausner, M.D., director of STD Prevention and Control Services at the San Francisco Department of Public Health. "This isolation suggests that those persons are different and not normal, requiring exceptional means to meet other partners."

  • Personals Picks: CantStopLaughing, wakesupearly and lilpnut

    Today’s Nerve Personals picks read Cormac McCarthy, surf and write well. To find them login to Nerve Personals, click on ‘search’ and enter their username into the username search.

    CantStopLaughing
    CantStopLaughing is a describes her occupation as “media junkie,” and the last great book she read was The Road. Sounds like someone with good taste. This thirty-four-year-old has posted eleven photos so you know exactly what you’re getting (a hot New Yorker).


    The best or worst lie I've ever told
    “I understand.”

    Wakesupearly
    Wakesupearly is an adventurer: his pictures show him hiking, hang-gliding and surfing. Perhaps that’s what he does so early in the a.m.? He’s twenty-nine, lives in Portland and loves musical instruments. This guy’s a catch.


    Why You Should Get to Know Me
    “I've been all over the world, lived in the tropics for years and made some good stories along the way. I've got the best crew of quirky friends in the world hands down. Basically it all boils down to one simple fact ... I love my life.”

    Lilpnut
    Lilpnut loves going to the movies, eating sushi and has a killer “Why You Should Get to Know Me Section.” She, thirty-five-years-old, lives in Michigan and likes watching TV at it’s regularly scheduled time “because I enjoy the thought of millions of other people watching it simultaneously.”

    Why You Should Get to Know Me
    "I have double-jointed elbows, supersonic smelling power and when I was little I fostered a belief that if I channeled enough energy, I would be able to acquire similar powers as the bionic woman."


  • Checking in on the Blog-a-log: Fingerless Orgasms

    The ladies of the Blog-a-log are going strong. Here’s what they’ve been up to...

    Charlotte_Web is confused. She had a great time with Agent Mojito this weekend but she’s still dating. Men on her radar: Liebendamen, Cuborado, Drummer Boy and Cute Boy. Mainly, though, she’s grading papers, “which makes me want to claw out my own eyes. Grading for me is like reading a scary book ... I alternate between being utterly immersed and needing to run away.

    FunkyBrownChick ponders the female orgasm and its prevalence online. “It seemed EVERY blogger was cumming online — except for me. Without a date that particular night, I had to whip out my fucking vibrator just to feel like I was still a bona fide blogger.

    CyberVixen is having trouble finding love. “I haven’t had any bad experiences, but just haven’t had that crazy date where the connection is immediate and solid and mind-blowing. I miss that connection. I want to meet a boy that makes me want to call my mom the next day and tell her all about him.”

    SJ1000 cut off her middle finger. No joke. “The truly tragic thing is that you are my reserve masturbation finger. Much like the United States Army, when my frontline troop (right middle finger) gives out, I call up the reserves. Or, rather, the reserve. Which was you, Left Middle Finger. But you have been hobbled, kind of. “
  • New on Nerve, 11.28.2007: Sex and Dating Advice from Miss Information

    It’s Wednesday, which means another dose of Miss Information. Today she serves up some excellent advice for a) a guy who wants to know how to turn down the dreaded good-email bad-picture online dating prospect b) an anal adventurer wondering about the best lube and c) the wife of a foot-fetishist whose husband is taking his longing outside the relationship.

    Just in case you don’t read the entire column (which you should), here’s one thing you should know:

    Nothing wrong with using Crisco. There are quite a few doctors who say it's okay to use in limited amounts, provided you test a small area and watch for your reaction. But I'm not sure you'd want to rub anything called "shortening" on or around an organ that's usually revered for its length.”
