The Village Voice Goes Cybering

Fans of that other New York-centric website may have been following the various upheavals and comings and goings over the last several months at alt-weekly newspaper The Village Voice. We noticed it ourselves when the multiple staff changes claimed the sex column of official Crush Object Rachel Kramer Bussel (a.k.a., Lusty Lady) and replaced it with the ill-advised and thankfully short lived "Married, Not Dead" debacle. Having covered single sex and married sex, the Voice is taking another shot—this time with a column devoted exclusively to cybersex.

"Click Me" is their new weekly feature looking at sex purely in the online world, and while the topics so far seem very Cybering 101 (finding a partner, a fetish, a Second Life), we suppose any newspaper willing to dedicate valuable space to the wildly popular, but under-appreciated virtual realms deserves some credit. (No0bs need love too.) Can it stay interesting and relevant for beginners and expert cyberfuckers? Can it (or should it) ever replace the soft fleshy pleasures of a traditional sex column? Only time and our new custom made VR goggles will tell.
