The internet: A disturbing turn of events

There is a phenomenon described in the literature which details the disinhibiting nature of the internet. I experienced it yesterday, and thus it came about that I discussed underpants gussets with another man, in a public forum. The conversation continued by email where we discussed our own specific underpants gusset attributes, and in passing I discovered that he is a runner, and he discovered that I am a cyclist.

The entire event was perfectly innocent - hell, I'm a married man - but somehow I still feel slightly soiled.

Damn internet.
