Toothing
Home Glossary Disclaimer Site map Contact me	Toothing refers to the use of Bluetooth-enabled electronic devices, such as mobile phones and PDAs, to fish for anonymous hookups. I have not done this, and I am unsure of how widespread the practice is in Australia. It is thought to have originated on the UK rail system, and I have included it as something of a niche novelty rather than as a widespread sexual activity. For all I know, it could even be an urban myth, so I take no responsibility if you end up never finding anyone. What is it? Toothing is where you enable your Bluetooth device (many current mobile phones incorporate this technology) to broadcast your contact details within a certain radius as you go about your daily routine. If someone who is similarly fishing happens to receive your broadcast, and you get theirs, you can swap contact details, meet, and find a public toilet or other location to fuck in. How do you do it? Basically, you need a Bluetooth- capable phone or PDA. You create an electronic business card which makes it clear that you're after a sexual encounter, set your phone/ PDA to be visible to other Bluetooth devices, and it will list nearby devices. You can then message interesting prospects. Potential problems - the pool of potential doggers/ toothers is likely to be very small, so potential partners will be few and far between. - it's unlikely that you'd both have time to shag at the same time (although you could set up a liason for later). - I have read that it is possible for your phone to be infected with Bluetooth- specific computer viruses. I do not recommend wandering around with your phone permanently broadcasting 'wanna fuck? ring 0409-123-456' because if your [husband/ wife/ kids/ boss/ grandmother] also happened to have a Bluetooth device set to receive, you could have some fairly uncomfortable explaining to do.
