The speed dating is actually cute, but dogging is feh (and a video already?)

My lesbian ex (yeah, the same one tangentially involved in the Moby thing) told me that the chick connecting us both to Moby took atheatre clas where she did this monologue where she ended up butt naked in front of the whole room. Then a dude from the class asked her out and apparently they had a good date. This is all second hand since me and the Moby girl didn't care for eachother.

The point however is that for a certain type of personality seeing someone naked pre-date might save a lot of time. Not to me, though, the thrill of seeing someone you alrwady like naked for the first time is a thrill that can't be beat. It's their way of saying "I trust you enough to exposemyself to you this way," which is a major league buzz, emotionally speaking.

To make sure cultural differences do not get in the way, there are sessions catering for Muslims only or for Jew

Naked Muslim/Jewish speed dating? How did they leave the Amish and the Mormons out?
