NO, WE'RE NOT JEALOUS

For those in the Short Takes audience who may be “especially popular” (And yes, those are the infamous “air quotes”), we draw your attention today to My Black Book.org, an online service that markets itself as allowing members to keep track of who they slept with and, uhhh, how it was. With an apparently straight face, they say in a release, “The mission of MyBlackBook is to provide its members with a place to store their sexual history, partners, and experiences in a safe, secure and confidential place. MyBlackBook allows members to manage, update and look up their entries in an easy way—giving them the opportunity and ability to assess their sexual behavior and activity and, if desired, to make changes in their life.” (Visual: Massive, MASSIVE eye-roll) A visit to the site is worth it if only to view the “Statistics” window and see what they deem worth tracking. And we have a more pressing question: Who’s getting so much action these days that they need a spreadsheet?
