Re: [sudo-discuss] TIL: Hacking Sexual Health

A few leads on the topic, courtesy of Bart Bernhardt (who had answered a call for ideas on a broader subject for Valentine's Day this year). Kyle and people from AE did a show-and-tell for the Commonwealth Club --- "- Kyle Machulis is a whip-smart brash software engineer who, on the side, blogs about teleldildonics (using haptic and telecommunications technology to facilitate long-distance sex), DIY sex toys, and other mash-ups of sex and tech. He's really fun. http://slashdong.org/ - Long, long ago, the Exploratorium Biology dept had an exhibit that was something like "The Olfaction of Attraction" and had little squeeze bottles with human pheromones in them. Depending on your genes and gender, you may find the smell either repulsive or attractive. This would make a great interactive station. It's fantastic seeing two people, one with a look of disgust and the other with a pleased smile, trying to reconcile their different perceptions. - The Archaeology of Vice. Kari Jones and Liz Clevinger work in the archaeology programs at the Presidio of San Francisco. Among the things unearthed? Well, the archeological record suggests that, shockingly, soldiers stationed there liked sex, based on the wide range of vintage porn, prophylactics, and medically-dubious STD cures dug up in the Presidio." --Rick
