4-19-2004 'Toothing' for Hi-Tech Sex with Strangers

LONDON - British commuters take note -- the respectable person sitting next to you on the train fumbling with their cell phone might be a "toother" looking for sex with a stranger.

"Toothing" is a new craze where strangers on trains, buses, in bars and even supermarkets hook up for illicit meetings using messages sent via the latest in phone technology.

"Toothing is a form of anonymous sex with strangers -- usually on some form of transport or enclosed area such as a conference or training seminar," says the "Beginner's Guide To Toothing" on a Web site dedicated to the pursuit.

It is made possible by Bluetooth technology which allows users to send phone contacts, pictures and messages to other Bluetooth-enabled equipment over a range of about 10 meters (yards).

Users discovered they could send anonymous messages to people they didn't know with Bluetooth equipment, spawning a craze dubbed "bluejacking."

Jon, aka "Toothy Toothing" and the guide's author, explained toothing was born after he was "bluejacked" by an unknown girl while commuting to work in London. After a few days of flirting, she suggested a brief encounter in a station lavatory.

"The meeting wasn't a romantic thing -- it was purely sexual. Barely anything was said," he told Reuters via e-mail.

Oh man I hate that. I don't have a cell phone and look, I'm missing out on all that sex in public bathrooms. Damn.

Not really. Its quite the myth that HIV spreads fast among heterosexuals, the vast majority of heteros that contract HIV have done so by needle sharing. A male has roughly 1 in 8000 chance of contracting HIV from an infected female, when having vaginal intercourse. A woman has roughly a 1 in 4000 chance of contracting HIV from an infected male when having vaginal intercourse. When using condoms properly, the chances of contracting HIV is next to none. Now considering the % of people with HIV, opposed to those without HIV, the likelyhood of you to contract HIV from a stranger is almost none exsistent. Possible, but extremely unlikely.

I thought that's what they're supposed to do. Mine did too.

Of course, I went to a Catholic grade school so maybe that had something to do with it also.

If anyone wants to buy this lie from you they should first overcome the truth on the ground in Africa.

By your lies it would take 21 years for any man to contract HIV by vaginal sex.

That can't be correct, where did you get that from?

Everyone knows those Africans are excessively gay and also prone to heterosexual anal sex. Also they are often malnourished because they spend all their money on needles and heroin.

ive had a doctor tell me this as well.
he didnt spit out figures, but he said that HIV isnt as prevalent in heterosexuals.
and your chances of getting it through unprotected heterosexual sex are very slim.

Kain, I think the odds go up when you have 'dry sex'.

Of all the HIV/AIDs cases in the US, around ~125,000 are heterosexual cases.
