I have heard of "air guitar" and even "air band" but this is a new one to me. It is called "Air Sex" and it is exactly what you think it is, people mimicking sex with the air. Apparently it is a huge think that the actually hold contests to see who is the best at it. Also, it appears that Air Sex also may have played a role in Katy Perry splitting with Russell Brand.

According to 'National Esquire',

Katy Perry thought she'd seen the last of fiery-eyed ex-hubby Russell Brand until she found a box of unlabeled DVD's while cleaning out a closet at her West Hollywood pad, popped one into a machine to check contents — and freaked at the mind-blowing sight of her wacko ex-loverboy energetically engaged in wild-and-crazy AIR SEX!

So what is Air Sex and how did it get started. Well, to answer that we turn to the wonderful Wikipedia.

Air Sex is a performance activity invented in Japan; clothed men and women simulate sexual activity with an invisible partner, often in an exaggerated manner, set to music, and in a competition before an audience. This is somewhat akin to playing air guitar, explaining the name. The creator, J-Taro Sugisaku, says that it was invented in Tokyo in 2006 by a group of bored men without girlfriends.

There you have it, Air Sex. Who knew? There are tons of videos on youtube of compitions and what not and if you feel inclined you can do a search since they are kind of dirty. Part of the championship is talking place next week in Austin, Texas.

Do you think they should come to Northern Colorado? Would you compete?

Here is a behind the scenes of me thinking that I was going to pose for a pic for this post but instead it was video.
