Mashable celebrates the season of love with Horny on Main, an exploration of the many ways that thirsting for sex affects our lives.


This year Mashable is celebrating the season of love with Horny on Main, an exploration of the many ways that thirsting for sex affects our lives.


It's Valentine's Day, the horniest day of the year (apart from New Year's Eve and possibly Arbor Day). For those who are coupled up, you already know who you're horny for.

For the rest of us, however, figuring out whether we're horny — or sad, or any other discernible emotion — may be difficult, especially in these trying times where the world seems so overwhelming that it's impossible to be horny.
