The famous “Pash and Dash” is becoming redundant. The concept of it seems simple enough - you get drunk, find a stranger, kiss then leave. But how do we think we can get away with it in today’s technologically advanced, Facebook world?
There is something really arousing about meeting a sexy stranger, sharing an intimate moment and then disappearing into the night. The “Pash and Dash” is a game of pretend: we meet someone, we play and then we go back to reality and deny the kiss ever happened. Sometimes the “Pash and Dash” is even more animalistic then that- we see, we take and we conquer- then we leave. A kiss in the nightclub with a mysterious person used to be impulsive, spontanous and secretive and then came social media.
This brings me to the question- How do you get away with the “Pash and Dash” these days?
You can’t, it’s impossible. Even if you aren’t taking the photos, someone is updating their status, writing on Twitter and uploading photos. But it can get worse, the person you’ve just had the sloppy pash with is adding you as a friend on Facebook. This can be uncomfortable in the morning, especially if you can’t remember them.
There is no mystery or secert kisses on the dancefloor anymore- everything is caught and recorded. You’ll know who they are, where they work and who they last slept with at the touch of a button. The fun of snogging a unknown person without conviction can no longer happen. Someone will know someone, who knows them on Facebook and in no more than 140 characters, your private kiss is on the world wide web.
