This comic strip references one of the newer features on Facebook.com, which offers that you “reconnect” with your friends on the site in a variety of ways. This feature has garnered heavy criticism from users who feel that a website need not instruct them on the details of their social or love lives.
The Author, seen here as a male sitting in front of a computer, is presented with a series of increasingly specific Facebook reconnect messages. These messages first urge him to reconnect with a female named Susie. From there they become more graphic, explaining in detail why he should sleep with her and even going so far as to suggest that Facebook.com watch the fornication via webcam.
The important part part of this comic is the Author’s conflicted responses to the website’s suggestions. While he desires to have sex on this particular female, he worries to great lengths about hurting her frail emotions. This conflict between natural urges and emotional sensitivity is indicative of the self-inflicted emasculation found in many male geeks. The cause for this emasculation is a natural reaction to the combination of a strong desire for sexual activity and a lack of confidence, forcing the male to cater to the emotional needs of the female in order to touch her naked body.
