We've been hard at work creating software to launch an online community for sex-positive people. Read more about it on my blog as well as the other founder of Blackbox Republic, Sam Lawrence.

Here's is a cross post from my blog.
What is sex-positive?
Some people assume it has something to do with porn, adult content, AIDS, or just the act of sex itself. At Blackbox Republic, we use it to mean sexuality isn't an issue. By that we mean that there's a massive population of people who are comfortable with their own sexuality and who are open...

very true. I know swinger communities that are not sex positive for homosexual men or bisexual men. It's mostly female and heterosexual positive.
Online Dating Needs a 2.O Enema. Seriously. I spent this past weekend in L.A. at the "idate" conference. This conference is supposed to be the cat's meow for the online dating industry. The entire conference was focused on simply tweaking whats already out there. No innovation or independent thought. I pulled some stats and made a chart (way geeky, I know). There's a clear trend...

Hmmm s community might be a little more exclusive and people share a common interest. Example Hot Chicks, Piercings, Alt Lifestyle. However Myspace and Facebook is to general. It's just to keep up with friends it doesn't have mini communities. Tribe.net is a good community based website, but it became regulated and it started to suck major balls.
Just posted our "San Francisco Sextech Culture" blog from this past weekend in San Francisco. It was a jam packed weekend with lots of amazing people and events. Tech talk was in the air brought on by us as well as the Worldwide Developers Conference in town. The overwhelming consensus is that there isn't a place to share our private lives and create concrete connections....

Yeah, I am free when your in town. I have a friend who recently graduated from San Francisco Sex Information.
San Francisco Sex Information (SFSI) trains people to become sex educators and operates a free information and referral switchboard. We provide free, confidential, accurate, non-judgmental information about sex and reproductive health. If you have a question about sex, we'll either answer it or refer you to someone who can. Our volunteers undergo extensive training in all aspects of human sexuality, including reproduction, birth control, safer sex practices, HIV and other STDs, sexual identity, and gender identity.
I think it would be cool to have some drinks with her too. I really like your site and I encourage what you are doing. I am also not sure if you have ever heard of http://www.pleasurezonesf.com/ it's a party for swingers anyways. The city is so wonderful for it's sex positiveness. I can't wait to be on the Playa too!

Here's a pic of me when I was down in Austin for a meet up with some SGs, Polys, Bi, Gay, Swinger, Straight, BDSM, Kinksters.
It's awesome to have these meet-ups. My latest post on www.sexwillhappen.com about "Tweeners" is a good recap of the patterns I'm seeing as I go from city to city.
If you guys want to meet up. Let me know in...

The site looks very good. I can't wait till it launches. I know a lot of sex positive people, but how do I go out and be sex positive. I am really shy. Maybe you can help me out.
aprilblackbox:
mikodilbeck, I'll keep you posted when the site launches! I suspect you're not shy and would hold your own just fine. If you need some hand holding, I'm sure we can find you someone to walk you through the sign up process 
Cheers,
April

Defconnexion,
No silly, my green friend doesn't do my dishes. That's why I'm actively looking for a man servant. Is this asking for too much? I think not...

Just out of curiosity, whats your bf's motivation for wanting a gay guy friend? I can understand you, or any girl wanting that, but I am confused as to why he would.
aprilblackbox:
@johnnyutahx Why not? Gay boys are fun. There's no sex involved. We're an equal-opportunity friender.
