Reading the personal ads in a local paper for amusement.
Points of interest
- The people looking for kinky things are posting in the regular sections, while the "Alternative" section contains mostly couples looking for an additional person to play with, or vice versa.
- Several ads are in seek of a "TS". Most of these are in the "Male seeking Male" section, and one is in the "Alternative" section. From the wordings, apparently, "TS" is only being used in terms of a MTF transsexual person, not FTM. How many MTF people would be browsing the "Male seeking Male" sections, though? Maybe these people are really looking for cross-dressers, not transsexuals?
- Every single add which mentions "TS" includes the adjective "hot"... apparently people aren't interested in just any MTF, but only the "hot" ones, whatever that means. There is even one ad, "Hot, sexy TS ISO straight, bi-curious male...".
- a couple of ads say "Married a plus". WTF? People get off an having a relationship with an infidelitous person? Or they want to bring the spouse in on the action too? Or they think a married person is more trustworthy, or more black-mailable, or more discreet, or less likely to have the time to have bunches of one-night stands with other people?
