Congratulations, Matt. You are the first person to hit on me via email today. I thought it would have taken much less time.

Cheers!

Note - I was expecting it. I've gotten it before. I think most people who do that sort of thing are pretty moronic, although it's fair to say I've hung out with a few readers before, and I do enjoy getting mail. When you write about sex and post it on the web, that's what you get - sometimes it's nice and respectful, and sometimes it's idiotic. Mostly I just blow off the really overt folks with a flippant comment and they go away, and I don't think twice. But this guy really takes the cake.

you should do a follow up article that highlights some of the more creative emails you receive in response to this article. of course, if you use mine, please keep my name off of it. my wife my not think it's as funny as i did.

Wow, Matt. I thought you were kind of a loser for writing that in the first place. Now that I know you're married, I think you're kind of a scumbag, too.
