Discovering secrets is titillating.
Everyone wants to peek under the covers, be a fly on the bedroom wall, or read someone’s diary. The juicier the secret, the more people want to know it, and sex is the most taboo of all subjects.
It’s human nature to be curious about what everyone else is doing. What do people like about sex? What are their fantasies? How far are they willing to go to please the one they love? These questions and more are explored, where everyday people offer up their most intimate secrets about sex.
One part social experiment – one part personal journey mixed with a little shock value, a whole lot of confession, laugh-out-loud comedy, deceptively thought-provoking questions and answers, all in the name of self-awareness. A foray into the inappropriate Sexual Confessional is a brash, unfiltered look at sex in the new millennium as seen by social media. A cautionary tale that warns “be careful what you ask the internet for, you may just get it…”
Excerpt:
Would You Rather Make Your Internet
Browsing History For The Past 12 Months Accessible to Anyone Or Live Without
The Internet – In Its Entirety – For A Full Year?
I could almost hear the screams from
the Internet trolls on this one. I, myself, had serious problems with this
question. Did I really want people to see the bizarre and twisted things I look
up on a daily basis or did I want to live without Internet. I decided a little
experiment was in order to help make my decision clear. Living without Internet
seemed the easier of the two and in the South, especially where I happen to
live, we have tremendous thunderstorms. I just needed a storm large enough to
kill the power and I could gauge my reaction. I figured I’d start at four hours
and measure my tolerance from there, but I was pretty sure I could live without
the Internet. As luck would have it, I didn’t have long to wait, a huge storm
rolled in, so all I needed to do was note what time the power went off and note
my reactions. I know, not very scientific, but I live alone, what can I do?
I’m happy to relate that the
experiment was a huge success. Power died at 1:47pm EST. I decided to read a
book to pass the time, unfortunately the candle glow wasn’t enough so this
pursuit was quickly dropped. Music, television and even writing were out of the
question, so I searched for something else to pass the time. I gave in to my
more primitive urges. I admit, at this point it turned into a little more
monkeys at the zoo flinging poo than gorillas in the mist. And yes, there was a
copious amount of alcohol involved, but no actual poo.
Finally, after what seemed an
eternity without civilization, the power flickered and things started humming
back to life. I thought, ‘how will I ever go back to civilization’ after being
in the wild so long. I eagerly anticipated the clock loading the time. It felt
like hours, surely more than the allotted four I had given. And then the time
lit up, 1:58pm EST… Eleven minutes?? Hmm… Browsing history it is. I’m sorry
Mom… people are going to think I’m a psychopath, deal with it; I really can’t
help the weird things I look up online.
It’s safe to say I’m not the only
one addicted to technology, as a whopping 72% of the 565 respondents preferred
to share browsing history over giving up the Internet.

Final Thought
It’s easy to see from the simple
experiment we have grown into a society too addicted to technology. I fear the
day the Zombie Apocalypse is upon us. Not due to Zombies, but because I fear
there will be a large number of Zombie-selfies posted to Twitter and Instagram.
And if they are Zombies, do we still call them Internet Trolls?
