You've heard of the Air Guitar World Championships, right? There's even a documentary on them, if you're interested.

But you've probably never heard of the Air Sex World Championships...at least, we hadn't until recently. Sponsored by FleshLight (of course), Air Sex is a form of, oh, let's just call it "performance art" where competitors simulate sexual activity with an invisible partner in front of a room full of people.

The official air sex website says that air sex must be done to music and should be "about" 2 minutes long, but "unlike air guitar, there are not many other rules...The only important rule is that all sexual climaxes must be simulated, not real." Good to know.

Air Sex was invented in Japan (of course it was), and events are held all over the USA, but it has proven immensely popular in Austin, Texas, a town that really values its weirdos and which holds bimonthly fake facial-offs at the Alamo Drafthouse.

Yes, but is Air Sex, you know, sexy? It depends on the air sex-er, really. At its best, it's an opportunity to see hot, attention-seeking drama-club types strip to their bras and hump the floor without the high cover charge of a strip club. At its worst, it's chubby bearded guys pretending to make out with thin air. But hey, at least it's never boring:
