The Sexual Supermarket (aka Craigslist) - A Primer

To the middle-aged mother with two kids and a 15 year marriage who is reading this: confess, you are a closet CL surfer. And you, the perpetually horny 21 year-old college student: you spend far too much time browsing the mw4m ads in hopes of scoring a threesome.

If you haven't been introduced to the casual encounters section of Craiglist, allow me the honor. While millions upon millions have relied on Craigslist to rent or lease an apartment, sell a piece of furniture, or find a job, only the more adventurous venture into the carnival-like atmosphere of the the casual enounters zone. Looking for another couple who is ready and willing to swap partners? This is the place for you. Do you fancy being beaten with a wet noodle by a nursemaid while wearing a diaper? No problem. Are you a woman who is determined to find a man with a ten inch penis? Easy. Are you a man with a penchant for big women? You might get lucky.

Before examine the phenomenon that is Craigslist, why don't you take a look around. Go ahead. Don't be shy. Here's the link to the SF Bay Area casual encounters section.

Casual Encounters

Unless you're a veteran, you might have questions about some of the terminology that's being thrown around. That will be the subject of my next post.

Let's talk about how this 'casual encounters' section can possibly exist. After all, isn't Craigslist one of the most visited sites on the web? Why yes, it is. Don't most people find the thought of soliciting partners for wife-swapping and group sex distateful. Why yes, they do. So what gives?

Craigslist is the perfect snythesis of Bay Area social liberalism and hands-off management. Craigslist users can vote down posts they find inappropriate. Yet somehow the incredible raunch on the site not only exists, but flourishes. Amazing.
