"While hippies talk free love, love-ins, and the liberating power of sexuality, we goths don't fall for that rubbish. We understand that alienation and being alone is our natural state. Sex is not about liberation, it is medication. It is the quest for dull the pain that is life's bitter angst.
"This site is not to find meaningful relationships. As there are no meaningful relationships. Relationships are an illusion! In the end they only cause you more drama and pain. This site is about lustful but meaningless sex. All we want is another to help ease our pain for a few moments."
Whoa, man.
This site is what's sometimes called a "wanna" server. When you find someone you like, you click on his or her profile. If he or she clicks on you too, you both get each other's email address. This is a nice setup in that it prevents members from getting harangued from folks they aren't interested in. But of course this kind of method can only work with a reasonably small number of profiles, or the chance that you and your true lust will click on each other becomes very slim. But since we're all destined to die alone and unloved, who cares anyway?
I interviewed O.I., a 33-year-old hetero man in MA. He says, "This site is explicitly about looking for people to have sex with. It's very simple and fun, but with far too few people participating. There's no messaging. Just find someone you're interested in, click on them, and if they click on you too, you both get email with each other's address. Quality and appropriateness of prospects are great, except for the fact that there are so few of them. If more people start using this site, it will be much more useful."
