Really, again? When I have an own opinion here that does not follow the mainstream, I just get downvoted without any arguments. Why is it so bad to have your sex duration published but its okay that your jogging performance visible to the world?


"Why is it so bad to have your sex duration published but its okay that your jogging performance visible to the world?"

They are completely different. Maybe not to you but if you can't see how it would bother some people then you're not thinking very hard.


They are completely different to me as well, which is why I don't record rumpy-pumpy on runkeeper, or wear my HRM/Cadence/GPS watch for it.

They are evidently not completely different to the users of fitbit who are telling the world about it, because otherwise they wouldn't be overtly and deliberately stating (on a website whose purpose is to share activity details with the world) that any particular 2m52s of increased activity was due to squelching.

Please let me know if I've missed some crucial point regarding fitbit usage, because I really can't see how this is "unwitting".


The question is how the users feel about it. How the users should feel about it is irrelevant.


Animals have very strict rules and regulations about the sacred act of rubbing genitals together.


And humans have been endowed with brains to get around instinct controlled behavior that is not useful.
