Abstract: Research was conducted (as part of an ongoing experiment) concerning sex and its intersection with social media, using the platform Tumblr. Drawing on Tumblr's emaciated ecosystem as a result of the infamous 2018 "porn ban," a blog was made to interact with those still on the site. Interaction focuses on Jewish community and the sex worker community, as well as anyone interested in sexual activity.
