Wind and Fire

Ramblings in the Wind of Fire and Rain blown in.

I'm a college graduate, a web developer, and soon to be a student again. I picked up the blog-reading virus in the last year and a half and it replicated itself rapidly. I will never again have an unread items count of 0. This virus is also partially to blame for my realization that Human Sexuality is a viable career option. So please excuse me while I worship the internets.

Sharing vs Evangelizing - Sexy feeds

I've had some time to catch up on reading blog posts during the past couple of days, and when I read something interesting or informative I feel the urge to share it. The thing is that I realize what is interesting to me is not always interesting to the people I share with (via friendfeed etc). This is true for everybody, and is especially true the more frequently one shares. So if I share a couple of posts about cool books, somebody will be interested. If I continue sharing nothing but cool books, say 20, it gets old and my friends will start to tune me out.

So given that I'm studying sexuality, and a good many of the things I read are about sexuality, how many things can I share before people get annoyed and tune me out? On the one hand, it's sex, and who doesn't want to know more about sex? On the other, sex is a guilty pleasure, embarrassing, or taboo to some. Even for those who are interested in hearing the occasional fact or tip, if they read too many they may start to feel guilty or sketchy. Our culture is interesting that way. So how much can I share?

I think I need a couple new accounts.

(Psst, Perfectly SFW, but this may get me kicked off the "safe" list: 10 Health Benefits of Sex)
