You've got crabs!

Okay, so you've just broken up with your girlfriend and/or boyfriend. But what's this? It burns when you pee? You have a firey itch in your nether regions? Dammit, and you swore you'd never speak to them again!

Well, this website, which has been getting some pretty controversial press lately, has a way to tell them without having to see or speak to them. You can send them an email. Anonymously.

InSpot.org, a website developed by Internet Sexuality Information Services, enables people who have discovered they've caught an STD to inform all their partners in an email, with the option to either identify yourself or send the information notice anonymously. Because there's nothing I'd like better than to find an email from God only knows who in my inbox telling me I may have a dose of the clap.

Of course, I do have to appreciate the fact that, although you don't have to take responsibility for your actions, you are able to responsibly inform people that you may have either given or gotten an STD from. But, I can think of a few other benefits to that anonymity.

Say, for example, you're a cheating bastard and one of the bar hoes you hooked up with while your girl was out of town gave you syphilis. You can tell your girl to get tested without her knowing she may have gotten it from you. And, as a bonus, she'll feel awful when she tells you that she may have been exposed and you should get tested too!

Or, you've slept with your upstairs neighbor/landlord and he turned out to be a slimy jerk. What better revenge than to send an anonymous note letting him know he needs to get tested for chlamydia? I hear that's a particularly painful test for the lads. (Not naming names, but you know who you are.)

By the way, the author of this blog does not encourage casual sex, excessive promiscuity or contracting an STD. Nor does she condone having sex with a slimy neighbor/landlord and taking revenge on said slimy neighbor/landlord, unless he truly deserves it. Which he probably does.
