And just when you thought all of that time dry-humping your pillow was for naught, along comes a brand new “sport” sweeping the nation: The Air Sex World Championships, touring the nation this month. But what exactly is “Air Sex”? Let’s take a gander at the About page of their website:

Never been to an Air Sex show before? Here’s what you need to know: it’s a lot like Air Guitar, but instead of rocking out with an imaginary guitar, you’re making sweet and/or filthy love with an imaginary sex partner. You choose a clip of music, you show up in whatever sort of wardrobe you like, and you come up on stage and show everyone how you do it. Or how you wish you could do it. Or how you once had it done to you, and oh my god was that a bad idea and while it’s embarrassing to show that act to a room of strangers, you know that you need to do it now in order to make sure that no one else falls down the same rabbit hole you got stuck inside. Or, you know, just do it however you want. The only rules we have are the laws laid down by the state we’re in. Since the Alamo serves alcohol, you can’t get naked. And since we serve food as well, all orgasms have to be simulated (or at least arguably so). Other than that, you’re free to do whatever it takes to impress the judges, the audience in the theater, and the world!

To give you an even clearer idea of what goes on, and an excuse to insert images of a scantily clad woman, here’s a small gallery featuring one of the contestants:

(Here’s a larger, more official, gallery from their website.  Be warned, most of those participating in the Air Sex Championships are, predictably, dudes.)

In any case, check out the tour schedule on the website to see when the championships are coming to your neck of the woods. I’m going to do my best to get in the audience for that June 26^th show in LA. If I’m not one of the contestants, that is.
