I was looking for free applications for my PDA the other day, when I came across this:
It’s called Nuts, and it’s a program to keep track of your sexual partners. Not only can you record the date and time of your trysts, but you can specify where it occurred, give the experience an overall rating and record whether or not you had safe sex. It’s also possible to have records for multiple partners.
Am I the only one who thinks that this just seems a bit wrong somehow? I’ve never heard of anyone recording all the details of every sexual experience they’ve had, and I’m a bit lost as to why exactly you would want to. Maybe I’m just missing something really obvious to everyone else - I have been known to be a bit naïve about these sorts of things. And how many partners does the developer think that users of this program are going to have? Unless you want to use it for ‘business purposes’, in which case it may make a bit more sense.
But, really, nothing says ‘clinical’ and ‘nerdy’ at the same time quite like rolling over to your bedside table and pulling out your PDA to record all the details after you’ve had sex. And you wouldn’t want them to catch you selecting their name from the drop-down list of partners, either.

and obviously, anyone with enough time on their hands to develop something like that is clearly getting none, hence the fact that they have so much time on their hands.

I’m with C’lam! This thing sounds too nerdy to exist! And yeah, who’d do that!?

… maybe the creator is hoping it will calculate their ‘rebate’ for ‘low-performance’ and ‘non-profit’ in the fiscal year, and try to claim at tax time…

Sadly, I know a few people who this would be perfect for.

c’lam: Yep, only a programmer would come up with that idea
JaG: Haha - ‘too nerdy to exist’ - I wonder if some of my coworkers would mind if I said that to them?
S: I was thinking that business users wouldn’t be able to claim anything back for it because it’s free, but you may have a point.
yaya: I know what you mean - it would have been ideally suited to some of the girls I went to school with…

Oh good lord, it’s funny but sad at the same time. If you truly need this program (or think you need it), I think there’s a problem.

Fash: Isn’t it!
Steph: I went back to the site to see if it said how many downloads there had been, but couldn’t find a figure. There were a couple of comments though!

Hey Jenny,
You have got to be kidding me, NOW I have seen everything. I cannot believe someone would spend time actually writing a program to do that!

Oh I wouldn’t need a computer program to record mine, a post-it note would work just fine for me

Hey, can I import info directly from Adult Friend Finder? I mean, not me, but some theoretical person that might need a program like this….

Kunaal: Hey yourself! So your new job doesn’t have you writing programs like this one?
Missfee: I’m glad to hear it!
Dawn: I know, isn’t it bizarre!
Tim: Oh of course, I didn’t think it was for you… I don’t know, maybe you could get your ‘friend’ to ask the developer?
