MyBlackBook: Now You Can Move Those Bedpost Notches Online

How often do you have sex? Better yet, how often do you actually keep track of your partners? According to a survey by Robert Ianuale, MyBlackBook's Founder and recent graduate from NYIT, only 1 in 3 young adults log their activity. Now you can move those bedpost notches online to MyBlackBook to store your records, monitor your activity, and calculate your chances of contracting a range of STD's. There's already over 14,000 people logging on average 7 different partners with 13 sessions each.

You would think that there a higher percentage of woman on the site because they're usually more responsible; however, the majority of users, 72.75% to be exact, are actually male. Interestingly though, woman on the site are more consistent while men log on infrequently. Robert has calculated that you can reduce your chances of contracting some diseases by between .02-.15% by being more conscientious. People who are more willing to put in the extra effort to log their activity are probably more likely to reach over to their drawer and pull out those condoms.

The site is actually pretty neat and you can even create charts based on your statistics. The startup even has a patent pending technology, called VDNote, that allows you to see how your sexual habits put you at risk for different STDs. The site explains that "VDNote is geared to each individuals account, and although most of the logic behind VDNote is a secret, the percentages that we provide to you are based on national sexually transmitted disease rates, and the probability of obtaining the particular STD reflects your sexual habits contained in your MyBlackBook account."

It would be cool if you could log your hookups from your cell phone by sending an SMS message to the site. One way they could monetize the site is by opening up an e-commerce store to sell products that people feel uncomfortable buying in stores. I'm sure condom brands would love to advertise on the site. I pitched the idea of having take home STD tests that you can do via snail mail. But, Robert said he already looked into it and that lab tests are too expensive and usually done at cost. It would certainly be nice because its a hassle to go to the doctors to get tested.
