I suppose the headline after the auction will be "Sex sells"....

Does the fact that the last part of sex.com may become .xxx have any bearing on this? it may well be worth a lot less now.

www.se.xxx

Ahaha...ohhh I believe you did

That domain does indeed have an interesting story. So far TWO books have been written about the disputes surrounding its ownership:
Sex.com
The Sex.coom Chronicles

They must be entertaining (summer) reads

After all this hype, people's first time there is going to be SUCH a let down...

I actually thought about trying to register this in 1994, when I first got on the internet. I'm not sure if it was before May though (when it was first registered).

Back then, iirc it cost $200 to register a domain name, and I don't think there was any lookup function; you had to just request a name not knowing if it was available. If I only knew then what I know now.

I demand my 5 seconds back. There is no porn on this news story.
