Darkness Falls and update
Feb. 20th, 2003 03:05 pmSo to those who have responded to my bitch about the Darkness Falls party...
I have no problem with sex parties and orgies. However.
If you read the description of the party properly, you will discover the following problems with it:
(1) NO TALKING in the sex room policy. So you CAN'T ask someone, "are you std free? have you been tested recently?"
(2) The whole point is that you don't know who you are fucking. So it isn't that you're supposed to negotiate in the chill room and then fuck in the dark fucking room. There's no talking with the person you fuck. No negotiating. No CONSENT.
(3) HERPES. The only way to avoid Herpes is to inspect VISUALLY for sores. Even then sex with someone who has herpes but no sores can infect you. Latex condoms will not protect you from contracting herpes. Dental dams might, I'm not sure.
So, um, there. Yeah.

No word back from Wired yet, and there is 2.5 hours left in their business day.
*twitch*
Meanwhile, a secretarial job for the Math department at Stanford scheduled an interview with me for next Friday. I could be happy there for a while... among intelligent youngsters. Maybe I could even attend classes or something depending on schedule. Dunno.
