Technology

If I had the technical skill I would organise a poll for this website. Unfortunately I have enough difficulty remembering my password each morning, so the chances of my organising a poll are fairly remote.

Which is strange really, I've always thought of myself as being bright enough to understand most innovations. However, I only seem to understand them a decade after everyone else has gotten to grips with the subject and decided the knowledge is either obsolete or passe. I'd just managed to operate our household's VCR before it got replaced by a DVD recorder. I'm pretty sure, by the time I've learnt how to use the DVD, we'll have moved onto using the HDD.

So, in the absence of a proper poll facility, I'd like to know which innovations of the last few decades you think has best helped to advance sexual adventurousness. Has the internet made it easier for swinging couples and singles to hook up? Do you think email or digital photography have better helped like-minded adults to get together? It something contemporary like Sat-Nav? Or, like me, are you still marvelling at all the things you can do with a betamax camcorder?

Yes, I know it's very late, but I somehow missed this post and as I'm catching up on my Ashley Lister reading this afternoon, I thought I'd send my answer.

I'd have to cite the internet as being the form of technology that has served to advance sexual adverturousness the most--or something along those lines--at least for me. The internet has allowed me to view lots of lovely pictures, and in some cases videos, which I would not have seen without it, Men in Pain being a particularly favorite site of mine. This, in turn, has advanced quite a bit of bedroom adventure, because as you know, once you've seen something done properly, you can then practice the same thing until you get it right, as you now know what it should look like when done professionally.

The internet has also allowed me to get to know people I wouldn't otherwise have met. Whether this has advanced sexual adventurousness is hardly the point as it has had something to do with sex in one way or another, usually writing or reading it, which I think is fair to list here.

And finally yes, I suppose I have "hooked up" on occasion with people for adventurous purposes via the internet, so I vote for the internet. That's one vote, anyway. I'm just saying...
