Category: Sexual

Examples: Lalopornstar, southsidepimp24, Wild Cat 69, LORDFOUL69, KareBare07, BUSTED NUT99, StripClubDj, Buff My Pickle, GoopySplooge

Everyone knows that sex and the internet go together like peanut butter and jelly, so we weren't shocked to discover this theme running through Xbox Live handles. Some appear purposely designed to impress us; others aim to intrigue us, tease us or simply disgust us.

Regardless of intention, they are all obsessed with fornication. But just as with the violent examples, this is undoubtedly nothing more than wishful posing. Common sense dictates that the more you can't have something, the more you want it... and the more likely you are to include it in your Gamertag.

Dr. Frederiksen: "This category might be generally thought of as 'aspirational.' This is who I wish I were. Designed to titillate, tease or boast, there is often a big fantasy component. Freed from the constraints of the real world, you can assume a sexual identity more to your liking."

^I agree. A lot of people use 'leetspeak' to get names that are not available when spelled correctly.

Now.. I will give 1 Internets to whoever can figure out where my tag comes from.

Pope, yours is from the Pope's hat? I don't know.

Lynx, yours is the Pop Culture refrence, because you used CKY, or the band "Camp Kill Yourself" (Better known as CKY)

And, WH47 D0 Y0U M34N 13375P34K!?

Also, mine is GOING to be Sizzler. And I don't see the refrence there. It stemmed from "SIZZLERSPERSONALPIKACHU" which I put for my Nsider username because I was going to Sizzlers that day, and I had to do something Nintendo related. I was also craving a personal pizza. I'm actually disgusted with what the name actually MEANS though, because, who would do such a cruel thing to suck a cute little electricity mouse?

So would it be Pop Culture?

But the name is just Sizzler. That could also fit under Sexual. Or, if you were thinking of melted flesh resulting from a flamethrower, that could fit into the Violence one. My first name is the CAPS category.

So which one? I need help.
