another one which maybeeee miight go up on the internet hopefully.. it's called 'twitter goes xxx' but i'm not sure about that title

As a society, we’re pretty obsessed with all things bedroom. So it’s no surprise that Twitter has gone over to the dark side and joined the forces of all things 18+. 

In these modern times, you can’t walk down a busy street safe in the knowledge that you’re stroll would be certified PG. Advertising is using physical attraction more and more to rope in potential customers, and the more shaggable an artist the more likely they are to sell – why else would mums buy Enrique Iglesias’ albums? In a global community where sex sells so well, is it surprising that the website based on people’s half-thoughts has now descended into the dirtiest bowls of the dot-com?

Myspace fell to the wrong side of the fence ages ago (though the only reason to go on there is the music, so this doesn’t really matter), and now Twitter’s gone, so will Facebook be next? Sure, people already use the networking site as the new match.com, but how long is it until it starts shoving naked babes in your face when all you really want is to find you’re best friend from primary school?

There are probably already hundreds of Facebook groups based around triple-x content, but at least at the moment it’s possible to live an innocent online networking life, where Facebook’s concerned anyway. But maybe this is a good thing; never has it been more obvious that we’ve grown up from the ‘showing your ankle is unseemly’ ideal that our grandparents grew up on. It’s the 21st century, and sex is commercial now. For better or worse, the horizontal tango isn’t just confined to behind doors anymore, so get up close and (far too) personal with this idea or lock yourself in your nun-habit filled wardrobe, because it’s here to stay.
