The Joy of... Diaries


I'm taking part in a really interesting project at the moment - it's called The Sex Diaries Project. I heard about it on a BBC podcast where they interviewed Arianne Cohen, the woman who initiated it, and essentially it's a web-based way of documenting the sexual lives of lots of different people.


You register on the website and then each day for one week you make entries each time you have a sexual experience, or even think about sex (within reason, obviously - otherwise it would be a full-time job). I've been doing it for a few days, and it's really interesting to find out how strange and awkward it is to document it all! But kind of liberating and cathartic too. Oh, and needless to say - it's all strictly anonymous...

The collected diary entries have already been turned into a book, but the project continues - and I'd encourage you all to sign up. You'll be amazed what you find out about yourself just from writing things down!...

  1. I have got to tell you - I am a seriously disturbed that the guy in the photo looks a tad like you in profile...
