What is... Sexerati?  High contrast, well traveled, and in fantastic shoes, to start.  Ace sex futurist Melissa Gira is poolside in Los Angeles in Season Two, with this tease to tide you until August's launch.

Melissa Gira reporting in from San Francisco International Airport on her upcoming trip to Southeast Asia whre she will be videoblogging on sex culture for the next two weeks.

What's worse than letting the workaday world get in the way of making time for sex? Letting the ways we manage our sex lives take more of our time than time spent having sex! This week's Future of Sex (appropriately, this week's late Future of Sex) offers up a few simple suggestions for how to best get sex done, putting some of those tricks of the self-organization-scheme fetishists out there to a hotter purpose.

We at Sexerati don't need to to answer the question, "why do we hack things?". We know that whether it's a machine or a lover, work or pleasure, many of us in this sex-smart generation are just not satisified with what we're sold off-the-shelf.

Sexerati's new comrade-in-arms Lux Nightmare on how porn has shaped the future of sex on the web and made honest bloggers of us both.

We here at Sexerati ask, what do we mean by the Future of Sex (and what if Edward R. Murrow wore his sexual politics on his sleeve)??

In this episode of The Future of Sex, just in time for what I'm sure will be a fabulous new year, learn how to engineer your very own Love Club, a social/sexual experience where you and your (closest, and if not yet, then after) friends can explore the future of safer sex together. We also speak with Steen Schapiro of the fetish sex club, Manifest, in Copenhagen, on how to throw a party for 500 of your kinky friends.Accompanying this educational film is a PDF chart and checklist to help you make your love club's guest list and assemble all the appropriate and necessary supplies for a good time had by all.

For our first Sexerati: The Future of Sex special report, I interviewed Claus Dahl of imity, a at the Nordic Exceptional Trendshop in Copenhagen, where he was showing off this timely (and sexy) social networking app that uses one's mobile phone to sense people around you.? Once the user logs in to imity, she can view an elegant tag cloud that shifts about as new Bluetooth devices are detected in her range.? Each imity user can be tagged by any other, and even non-imity using devices (or, rather, their owners) can be tagged so that if/when they join imity, their account will already be in progress based on the data associated with them by others in the community. The hookup potential, you can imagine, is rich. After I got the chance to play around in beta over this past weekend, I have to say, damn, imity, you're going to make me rename my mobile phone "blonde with glasses and the houndstooth coat."? Anything that makes my purse vibrate when someone who fits my tags just so walks in the room is going to make me perk up and install, and when the folks behind said app are honest about its obvious utility in making casual sex more efficient, all the more so. Now I don't have to feel like the Whore of 2.0 for how I'm putting such things to use, not that we don't all have a little Beta Slut in us.? You may not even have to flirt with anyone for an account, as imity is rumored to launch at Le Web in Paris this week.

I'm headed to Europe today and thought I'd tease you for just a moment before boarding my plane with the future of sex. It's coming. Here.
