There are more than 500 million active users on Facebook, 50 percent of which long on in any given day, the average user has 130 friends, and people spend over 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook.

With such a huge population of people on Facebook we ask what exactly are they doing? Some people use Facebook to keep in touch with new friends, old friends, and family. Some use it to network, stay up to date on news, and what going on in their "Facebook community". Others use it to show off news pictures, chat with friends, or find out whats going on this weekend.

Facebook provides users with several applications and content areas where they can express themselves, tell everyone abut their religious beliefs, their sexual preferences, and their relationship status.

Relationship status and sexual preferences can play a huge roll in sex and Facebook. Many relationships start when you meet someone out at a party, or on the bus, merely get their names so you can friend them and immediately find A. if they are available, B. what their sexual preferences are, and C. a lot about their personality, interests, hobbies, employment, and even more pictures of them. In one view of someones Facebook you an decide to per sue, or move on.

Many Facebook users tailor their profile pictures, interests, and hobbies to make them the most desirable to other users. Facebook is an extreme tool in digging up past love interests, or creating new ones. It allows the users to create and express their sexuality and gender in any way that they prefer.
