When I throw into casual conversation some of the membership numbers associated with social-sexual networking web sites, some people boggle and others scoff.

“I call bullshit,” was one comment when I posted the per capita membership of Adult Friendfinder by state recently. Someone didn’t believe that 12 percent of adult Alaskans and seven percent of Americans over the age of 18 would be members of AFF.

Not surprisingly, “cubancigar107″ is nowhere to be found on Adultfriendfinder.com today. That was allegedly the AFF user name of former Florida Republican State Rep. Gus Barreiro of Miami Beach, who was fired from his job at the state Department of Juvenile Justice in January.

A few years ago, I got a Yahoo instant message from a stranger, a woman … surprisingly, no a webcam girl, no sort of scam or spam involved. She’d noticed my Yahoo profile. I looked at hers. An hour later, I was in my car, en route to a memorable midnight tryst that included a blow job so completely wonderful that I had to ask her how she got so very good at it.

You've Been Tempted.

Shadowy "Into Temptation" is a usually-but-not-always safe-for-work forum about evolving social-sexual networks and how they have changed and are changing lives. It will also loosely chronicle the research, writing and publication, I hope in 2011, of a book by the same name.
