Kiss and Tweet


Apparently 40-percent of people (i.e. Americans) under 35 tweet/text/check-Facebook while driving. And 36 percent use new media as a kind of post-coital ritual of dissemination, right after sex. Men (i.e. socially heterosexual males) are twice as likely to spread "the news" than women (i.e. straight biological women). The website IJustMadeLove.com is an archive for people around the world (i.e. mostly Americans) to upload when/where they had sex and what positions they engaged in. If one were to read the site's interactive map at face value, one would conclude that no one has had sex in Botswana or Zambia for the past 24 hours. Ironically, 23.9-percent of Botswana inhabitants and 15-percent of Zambians are HIV-positive. With barebacking running rampant in queer circles and always already normalized in straight circles, could we envision a IJustSeroConverted.com? Is consequence also Tweetable, or just immediate action?
