Distributed sexuality

<![CDATA[Thundercat’s Seduction Lair: High School Sexual Networking:
Interesting: There is no center in high school sexual networks?

“We went into this study believing we would find a core model, with a small group of people who are sexually active,” Moody said. “We were surprised to find a very different kind of network.”

Based on research I’ve been doing (soon, soon, it will be revealed) there is no “center” in densely networked communities. Instead there are many active nodes in a network, but each is active selectively not consistently. With teen sex, you see that the network is weakly linked but very active.
It also depends on how you frame the network you’re looking at. If you didn’t create constraints, networks would seem to go on forever. Context is the active ingredient in the human agency that defines the shape and flow of network activity. You can see from the map below that one node can be presented as a center, but that there are many centers connected by dense traffic. More on the map soon.
