Maybe A Little Too Much Information

IJustMadeLove.com is simple to understand, but once one does, they may wish they did not.

One day while driving around his native Warsaw, 26-year-old programmer, Cyprian Ciećkiewicz wondered to himself, "How many people are making love right now, at this very moment?" Which soon lead to his founding of IJustMadeLove.com, a site that uses GPS technology and Google Maps to enable anonymous users to post answering an array of questions about the act (ie. Inside or outside?, Homo or hetero?). Over 77,900 encounters have been recorded from across the globe (TheDailyBeast).

Amazement comes with many of the locations such as in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is a far more popular place than one may assume and a brave seven couples just documented their acts in Saudi Arabia.

Ciećkiewicz and his partners strive to keep the site non-pronographic, "We didn't name the site I Just Had Sex or anything like that," he said. "We're trying to keep the site really nice." He even admits to showing it to his parents and getting their "PG" approval to make it friendly towards all users.

The site has caught global attention from Playboy to Stephen Colbert (host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report). Advertisers are showing a increased interest in IJustMadeLove.com with growing in popularity.

The site provides real-life statistics for contemporary sociological practices and may lead to helpful advertising statistics in certain fields. The website encourages viewers to view the Facebook, Twitter and smartphone application pages that ask further questions and encourage involvement from the viewer.

At the time of writing this blog, 138,182 people have documented making love.

But before you log on and see all the dirty details, be sure to ask yourself... do you really want to know?
