"First came dogging, an underground swinging scene where couples and sometimes third or fourth parties engage in public sex for an exhibitionist thrill. And now comes "toothing," where strangers on trains and buses and at bars and concerts hook up for clandestine sex by text messaging each other with their Bluetooth-enabled cell phones or PDAs."

Oh my. ops: Here I thought the Bluetooth adoption rate was increasing because of cool new headsets and how easy it makes it to sync your device. Silly me, sex sells and it always will. Is that a Bluetooth phone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? :lol:

Good Grief!

Of course it will never take off in the USA - we are so Tech non-adoptive... :evil:

Not that there is anything wrong with that... :lol:

came across a political slant on this a short time ago from reading an engagdet article...

The latest [Bluetooth idea], called Bluetooth Against Bush, is about getting anti-Bush types to use their wireless laptops, PDAs, and cellphones to help find each other.

interesting to see how people come up with these uses for a technology and use it to their own ends!
