Haha @ the idea of The Ex getting fanmail from this project. But of course that would be silly. TKOG has a very active imagination, and I’m sure she’s done plenty of “research” for this erotica project, and she dramatizes so many of our non-intimate interactions almost beyond recognition, so I’m not seeing myself as a character. (I may have to adopt a CIA spokesman attitude towards awkwarderotica: “I can neither confirm nor deny.”)

In the defense of your support network, I think the idea seemed more bizarre before you had worked out, or found the words for, the purpose — the social cause — of this project. When you first shared it with me, I was just reading erotica that was kinda hot and kinda awkward, and I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to react. The gestalt makes a lot more sense.

So maybe some of them will come around. But I don’t blame people who just can’t wrap their head around wanting to write about sex publicly. It is, at the very least, unusual.

But TKOG is nothing if not ambitious in her undertakings. I hope the NTKOG readers enjoy it!

Not sure why they wouldn’t think this is a great idea- maybe they are the ones who’ve had awkward sex experiences and wonder if you’ll include them…

I like “awk erot” but I think I’m gonna go with “awkrotica” for my, erm…personal files.

Totally ‘scribed, BTW.

P.S. http://www.spike.com/hub/pgporn

P.P.S. Or would “awkwotica” be better? Man, decisions are LAME.

I’m commenting here because first I want to say I love this post. You’re just so right. Accepting it as part of the whole human experience. I’m very much in agreement.

Second, I went over, and the nose-dripping one and the teeth pubes one had me really giggling. I hope that site stays, I think it’s a brilliant idea.

Oh man, love you more today than I did yesterday.

I subscribed to awk erot. Clearly. Why wouldn’t I?

But hey, I have a problem with something you wrote.

‘Think twice about looking over someones shoulder on the T?’ Why would I ever think twice? I am COMPLETELY bored on the train, and I frequently get anxiety, so I need to find something to keep myself busy, right? I can only tweet so many times, too, and what happens when I’m underground? SCREWED. But yeah, I read my neighbors books, double check their spelling while they type, approve and disapprove of what they are listening to on their ipods… THEN JUDGE THEM ON THEIR CHOICES OF ENTERTAINMENT.

a) forlornication! HAAAAA

b) the name “awkward erotica” is fantastic. rolls off the tongue quite pleasingly. (twss?)
