Seriously, that thought just raced across my mind as I was looking around for new things to put on my blog. (you know, toys as opposed to content – I’m selfish like that)
I know, I had a thought – roll out the flags! It’s probably not even a new one, I bet at least <em>dozens</em> of people have had it before me.
But just take a minute to look at the similarities..
Sex – better when someone else is interacting with you, blogging – better when someone interacts with you.
Sex – there’s always someone claiming to be an ‘expert’ telling you that ‘this is how you do it, these are the tools you need.. There’s books, videos, you name it and someone’s writing about it.. Oh wait, was that sex or blogging I was talking about there..?
I mean C’mon! People are making money blogging about blogging – does this make them the porn stars of the blogosphere? I’d really like to know, since blogging is turning into a major online industry (there was even talk of regulating it not long back and I daresay there will be again in the future) does the fact that I’m even writing this post make me some kind of minor ‘fluffer’..
The things that cross my mind eh?!
Well, I think you’re right.
Blogging: you poor your heart out and place your trust in the feedback from those with which you interact.
Then the next day neither you nor anyone else has any respect for what you did
Yep – sounds a lot like sex to me.
Then I guess if you are not careful enough, you find all your time being thrown away creating a fabulous web site that then gets out of hand and takes all your money. Humph – that seems a lot like kids to me!
If blogging is the new ‘sex’ does this mean that Stef is going to kick my ass?
LOL Vics, I see you’re still your charming self
Given the connections you made here, I’d say you’ve got the mind of a person who’d totally get Category Theory (quite affectionately known as Abstract Generalised Nonsense)….now let me get back to figuring out what a butterfly flapping its wings in Singapore has to do with a guy being cut off on the M16
Hippopotomonstr…
K, my lovely darlin’ lil mannums, I think you’re safe – Stef’s more ‘old school’ where sex is concerned *grin* virtual doesn’t really do it for him
And Alex.. thanks for stopping by m’lovely – glad you agree with my view of the world *chuckle* although you seem to be a tad riled about it..
WTF! Have you seen the heading on this post….what’s going on it sounds like an episode of Sex and the City!
I totally agree with your assertion.
See I told you he would be mad.
LOL Pat? are you talking to me or Stef with that one *grin* and K..
He’s not mad, just ‘confused’ I don’t ‘do’ sex in the city, i’m more a stargate atlantis gal.
None of us will ever think of blogging in quite the same way.
In fact, I may never think of sex in quite the same way.
Thanks to you.
hi rose!
playing catch up on your blog, sorry i’ve been away. and i agree, blogging could be the new sex. it’s definitely addictive, like sex, and when you put up a good post it’s satisfying, like sex, and everybody is doing it, like sex!
[...] Rosevibe points out that this interactive behavior is very much like sex. She writes makes the points: 1) Sex – better when someone else is interacting with you, blogging – better when someone interacts with you. [...]
At least you can’t catch an STD from blogging unprotectedly…
I think this is the way it’s going. You can also try blogging on
