My first thought was: “How can software identify your penis?” My second thought: “What’s ChatRoulette?” ChatRoulette is a website which pairs people randomly from around the world for webcam-based chats. At any point, either user can end the chat by starting another random connection. I had heard of the application previously, but in conversation with friends, I also learned that users are typically random guys showing their junk and jerking off.

Well ChatRoulette plans to do away with all of that by instituting penis-recognition software. Contrary to my first assumption, the platform isn’t able to identify your penis in particular (boo!), but rather, just identifies penises overall. This algorithm will filter out shots of male genitalia altogether.

Users debate whether tricks will prevent the software from effective filtering. One user commented, “What if a guy puts a tiny sombrero on his sausage in order to trick the software?” It’s a valid concern. Nevertheless, the website`s founder hopes that blocking such offending members will help clean up Chatroulette`s reputation. But don’t worry, Ladies, no one’s tried to block your vaj shots… yet.

Personally, I’d prefer that my vagina is fragrant, not that my fragrance is vaginal. But apparently not everyone feels that way. A new scent claims to capture the “the vaginal scent of a beautiful woman.” (Thankfully, no one has yet tried to bottle the vaginal scent of an ugly woman, well, except Paris Hilton.) The new fragrance, Vulva Original, is a self-proclaimed “erotic feminine scent“, and promises to offer pleasure and arousal by smelling it.

The product is available online only on www.smellmeand.com and sells for about $33. Recommended usage suggests application to various areas of the body via a roll-on applicator. Now what would happen if I rolled that onto my vagina? Do two vaginal scents cancel each other out? Even more important,  do I have to smell like the sweaty biker’s vagina depicted in their :60 spot? To be continued…

1047505-2-sleep-walking-wellOne woman suffers from a weird disorder which turns her into a sex addict, but only when she’s sleeping. The disorder, known as sexsomnia, compels her to engage in sexual acts  and touch herself while sleeping — but she remembers nothing the next day. (Not exactly sure how this is a problem yet – so far sounds like a good night of drinking.)

The condition is so rare that at first she struggled to convince anyone she had no control over it. She first discovered the disorder in 1999 when her ex boyfriend confronted her. She stated that: “Out of the blue one evening he asked me why I played with myself at night”. (You think he’d me more concerned if she didn’t play with herself at night.)

The woman sought help from numerous doctors and psychologists who were not able to help her since they had never heard of her condition. Doctors offered her muscle relaxers (naturally), but she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life on medication. So she set up her own website six years ago after doctors failed to work out what was wrong.

Don’t get too excited, it’s not that kind of site (too bad cuz she could have been turning lemons into million dollar lemonade). Instead she created a support site to find others who suffer from the condition. She further commented that “There are no official figures on how many people suffer from sexsomnia but I’ve spoken to hundreds of men and women from all walks of life with the same condition.” I smell a dating web site for sexomniacs not far off…
