I'm a geek

So, I am such a huge nerd that, while updating my sexual history sheet, I decided to create a graphical representation of my sexual history.  It's not as detailed as I'd like, but I haven't decided how many more details I should represent.  So far, it's a bar graph/timeline that shows everyone in my history in chronological order and color-coordinated based on 4 categories:  1) casual/fuckbuddies/one-night-stands that do not include intercourse, 2) relationships that do not include intercourse, 3) casual/fuckbuddies/one-night-stands that do include intercourse and 4) relationships that include intercourse.  I thought about coding for specific activities (since they are included on the list), but the color coding or other forms of grouping would be complicated because of the large number of combinations of activities, if not number of activities themselves.  The timeline is broken up by my age in years, so it's hard to tell some of the chronology because some years I had several partners in one year, but they weren't all concurrent.  Problem is I'm so fuzzy on time, that I'm not sure how to clarify that because I can barely remember the year, let alone the month or date!  So I still have some work to do, but it's a good start.

But yeah, I'm a dork.

That's horribly geeky. And, thus, sounds pretty cool to me. I may try to do similar. :)

Why not just set it up as an Acess database instead of an Excel spreadsheet and then you can generate multiple graphic details reports?

That's *wonderfully* geeky! I'd love to see the final product. Mine is pretty simple. I'm not sure how accurate the timeline is.

Since seeing the studies that show basically no correlation between oral sex and HPV, I've started dividing activities into 4 catagories.

Those intended to prevent transmission of all STDs (what I previously referred to as "HPV boundaries")
Those intended to prevent HPV with a small HIV risk (HPV boundaries + oral sex)
Those intended to minimize STD risk, which have small HIV and moderate HPV risk (intercourse w/ condoms)
Those that are not safe at all (unprotected sex)

That way, it's divided up pretty nicely into what STDs could possibly have been transmitted (with focus primarily on HIV and HPV as representitives of skin vs. fluid stds). I refer to them as Level 1-4, respectively, which I picked up from Fritz. I have thought of color coding for more clarity, but it's a fine line between being clear and coming off as obsessed :D.
