The Way He Was: Nascent Sexuality Polaroid Study

We all have our own private map of those places that played a part in the development of our sexuality when we were growing up. But not all of us have made those maps as public as our pal Igor at Driven By Boredom has with a new project where he plots "the spots that gave me the most tingles" on a Google Map along with a Polaroid and a description of what made them so ... er, tingle-worthy: the construction house where he and his girlfriend would sneak into to mess around, the bushes at the Masonic Temple where he had the worst sex of his life.

As a much more personal version of other Google Maps projects we've come across it's the kind of intimate look into someone else's private history that we don't often get the chance to experience, and we even found ourselves getting a little misty driving around those DC suburbs with Igor ourselves. (Not to mention a little jealous--why didn't we have a Topless Polaroid Forest in our neighborhood when we were growing up?)
