A little casual backdoor action on your mind? Well, I'm sorry if
Local Sex Acts By The Numbers / Looking for Oral? According to Craigslist's Casual Encounters, stay local. Feeling horny, darling? A little casual backdoor action on your mind? Well, I'm sorry if you live in Brisbane. Or Bernal Heights. And not so much in Mountain View. Unless you like fellatio, then Mountain View's got your number -- or more accurately, your Craigslist connection. It's free, it's anonymous, it's easy to use, it's often cited as the main reason the classified section has gone the way of the hysteria diagnosis -- it's Craigslist. With a reported 17 million visitors per month nationally, it's no surprise that Craigslist has become the way we find what we're looking for, and vice versa (accent on the vice). Sure, you can look for a life partner on Match.com, and if you're straight you're all set for eHarmony's (conspicuously hetero-only) dating-and-romance roulette, but those sites are the last place I'd think of to see who's up for a nasty anonymous hookup or to get rid of that ugly lamp my ex left behind. Recently, analysts have been using real-time tracking to observe the comings and goings of Craigslist's high-traffic success, and they are finding (to the surprise of few) that escorts are (ahem) whipping used cars sales by the numbers. In a February 2007 analysis, Compete.com found that the advertisers making the most of the powerhouse's traffic are looking for shoppers in Erotic Services and Casual Encounters (respectively), and taking a beating (of the nonsexual kind) in business supplies for sale and Web design. Crazy sex ads on Craigslist isn't news or a secret, and the Casual Encounters ads are commonly regarded as a reliable source of entertainment and titillation for parties and long days at the cube farm alike. Even more interesting -- for scientific purposes, of course -- is looking at how people are using the ads for sex and what they're up to. Or not up to, as the case may be. Using a very unscientific method of stat gathering, while relying on a tried-and-true knowledge of colloquial sex terminology and search-fu skills that cut like a knife, I set about data mining Craigslist Casual Encounters over a seven-day period -- and compiled an Excel spreadsheet that would make a Microsoft development team squirm, beg for mercy and then pass out. (NSFW Google document online here.) I mean, what girl doesn't want to know in which San Francisco neighborhood men think they're the best hung? Or which Bay Area city has the most golden-shower enthusiasts? With filthy spreadsheet in hand, I developed a set of specific categories based on majority results of what people were looking for (and who was seeking the activity) and added categories as I went along. For instance, the numbers told me that in any given "anal" search, the numbers revealed that Men Seeking Women was the majority default for results, and Men Seeking Men was the lesser variable. So either the gay-anal assumptions for "Sodom by the Bay" were wrong (likely), or the gays prefer to use other online hookup services and local community resources for anonymous anal sex. However, for fellatio action, the default was Men Seeking Men in all neighborhoods and cities, with the exception of Berkeley, Palo Alto and Mountain View. My final categories were (seeking to get and give) blow jobs, cunnilingus, anal sex, immediate hookups, married, well-hung, use of the word "normal," people who were "bored," a biohazard category (for those seeking activity including bodily fluids) and fetish interests (like the nice fellow in Cole Valley who enjoys vinyl inflatables, as evidenced with the lovely 5-foot-tall Godzilla in his photos). Some neighborhoods were so boring, they just weren't worth the down-and-dirty data mining effort. And Western Addition -- I'm sorry. About everything. Maybe next time, or maybe if you relax and have a few drinks first it'll help. Some neighborhoods, like the Mission, were so surprisingly boring (even with a wilting two entries for "bored") they had to be included, if only to make Potrero look like a party. Overall, it became clear that neighborhoods with higher crime and low-income housing, like Hunter's Point, were bereft of ads for businessmen seeking panty-sniffing rendezvous for some pretty obvious reasons. But still, as one commenter noted when I posted my spreadsheet progress on Flickr, "Brisbane needs to get with the program." I compiled data on San Francisco neighborhoods of interest and then did Bay Area city comparisons, including San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Palo Alto, Mountain View, San Jose and, for fun, Fremont and Brisbane. Contrary to reputation, it seems that Silicon Valley is not a "sure thing." San Francisco by the Numbers. Neighborhood most in need of fellatio: Financial District (28), losers Cole Valley and West Portal (0) Desperately seeking cunnilingus: Financial (13), runner-up Pacific Heights (9), losers West Portal and Potrero (0) All about anal: Financial (17), runner-up Castro (13), no anal for us, thanks: West Portal, Haight (Upper and Lower) and Potrero. I need it (whatever it is) right now: Downtown (50) Most self-disclosed married ads: Financial District (28), don't ask, don't tell: Twin Peaks (0) and Upper/Lower Haight (0) Neighborhood most likely to put your eye out ("hung"): Financial (22), Downtown (14) and the Mission (9) They think they're the "normal" ones: Downtown (7) Biohazard warning: Downtown (golden showers) and Potrero (brown showers) Totally bored, so maybe you are, too: SOMA. Notable fetishes: vinyl inflatables (Cole Valley), pregnant (Downtown), "mommy" (Presidio), smoking (Financial), adult baby (SOMA). Most common locally advertised fetishes: seeking female feet and fat girls. Bay Area by the Numbers. As the cities are of different, um, sizes, I've reported not counts, but how many residents out of every thousand succumb to the urge to post to Craigslist in hopes of fulfillment.
