I don’t mind if this is invented or not. This themes about truth and with the way we relate to others, and to ourselves.

Doesn’t really matter if they are actors and this is scripted. I enjoyed it but I felt some wierd sensations also when very similar situations to some I’ve lived in my life appeared on the screen.

If this is a written story, whoever is the author must have lived something like that sometime in his live. Too real dialogs, too real emotions, too little story to be interesting in a conventional way. Too real to be unreal =)

And if it’s real then I feel I understand the reason you decided to post all these vids without telling her. But it’s not easy to put it into words. I live through something similar, and make some decisions that I knew would end up exploding with unpredictable consecuences. I needed to keep going playing with fire, just to discover what was real in my life and what was not. The ‘bomb’ exploded, same as you. And everything has changed since then, but it feels great to be alive. And I’ve learned some insights. Never will be the same again, but… when is it?

best wishes to everybody
specially to you, Intuition.

I think Sean and Penny are back together again.

I think Penny must have come to understand or at least accept what Sean did here with the vlog, and be ok with it staying up. As at least one poster has said, this vlog is loaded with all sorts of reminders for not only how precious an intimate relationship is, but also how fragile it can be. Not only is this vlog a wake-up call to viewers, giving us renewed appreciation and respect for our own relationships, but it represents a monument to a milestone in their own personal relationship together. Whatever we have learned by watching, they have learned 10x as much by living through it. If they have managed to put this behind them and move on with their relationship together, it speaks volumes about a new-found maturity in their relationship that they leave this small chapter in their lives available online as a beacon for others.

I believe Sean must have come to a compromise with Penny that while this episode of their lives could remain online as a tribute to this decidedly difficult time in their relationship, Sean would break it off clean and refrain from making any more of their private lives a public soap opera for the rest of the world.

It was good of Sean to leave his last comment, however. Most of us wish only the best to both of them, and while he did not come right out and say as much, I know I for one feel significantly more at peace as I intuit that he and Penny have moved on with their personal (private) lives together, taking the lessons they have learned with them while leaving their tracks online here for the benefit of any of us who are willing to learn from their pain.

Two comments in particular from his last post lead me to the happy conclusion that they are back together. Both comments relating to Penny are used in the present tense, and the last comment not only evidences an increased sensitivity to Penny’s wishes, but also presents these wishes authoritatively, as opposed to hypothetically. (”Penny refuses to go anywhere near a webcam”) (We can’t blame her

For a girl like Penny to have “chosen” a guy like Sean in the first place means that Penny saw something beyond the shyness that grabbed her heart. By the time Sean pulled this “vlog experiment” Penny had had enough exposure to him to realize that, to a certain extent anyway, Sean was just being Sean. Genius and strange often go hand in hand and if you want the good, sometimes you just have to accept the bad that comes with it. I think that Penny had enough of an understanding and appreciation for who Sean is that after the last video, she was able to reflect over everything and to ultimately forgive Sean.

For his part, despite his near-fatal and somewhat fatalistic obsession with documenting and posting what could well have proven to be the swan song of happiness in his life, I think Sean’s world revolves around Penny. I imagine that one of the positive things to emerge from this “vlog experiment” for Sean is a better understanding of the difference between being obsessed with someone (focus on self and needs of self) and getting past that to truly caring about someone (focus on the other person and being sensitive to their needs)

Who knows - I could be full of hot air. These conclusions might simply be the meanderings of an over-active imagination. Be that as it may, I trust I’m right. Thank you both, Penny and Sean, for leaving this up for us to learn from. By sharing this part of your lives, you help the rest of us in ours and empower all of us to help make the world a better place. The best of wishes to both of you as you continue on with the rest of your lives.

answer please

By the way, I’m living in Berlin and I think we do have quite a lot of hot girls out here ….

Anyway if this was a real scene - man good work. I’m sorry for that girl if she really didn’t know what was goin on. I mean ok that was not the gentle way you did it sean - but girl come on slow down a little you was the one who agreed to that stupid proposal.

Open relationship! Haahaha, when you agreed you kicked your ass off of this deal girl !!!

Anyway, sean why’d you offer her that ??! Nobody is offering somethin like this without a reason - and there are just two:

1. Test your gf is she’s faithful
2. The boy is not interseted in his gf anymore and doesn’t care what she’s doin

Whatever it is somethin has gone wrong with that relationship. If this was for real - I swear you’ll never gonna fix it!

But don’t let your self down, as we say here:

“Andere Mütter haben auch schöne Töchter.”
trans: “No matter what, other mother’s also do have pretty daughters..”

love ya episodes

First, whether this was fake or real there is no reason why we couldn’t show the title to the book “The Rules” that Penny loves so damn much. Blogs don’t get the ridiculous copyright scrutiny that movies in wide release do. The fact is she just held it up like that.

I’m sorry that he feels we didn’t touch enough on camera. If he wants to make a video where he gropes his girlfriend for 5 minutes I’m sure the YouTube community would thank him for it.

The reason for the small number of videos is the difficulty of actually being home and awake at the same time when we were 6 hours apart. Penny didn’t exactly make herself easy to reach either. And if you’d ever tried recording both sides of a webcam conversation you’d know that it’s practically impossible. I had to start up three different programs to make it happen and I didn’t want the Australian girl to see me recording anything.

Again, you’ve clearly never tried to have webcam sex. It is NOT the same thing as regular sex. Penny is very willing to have the regular kind.

As for the ads, Revver.com hosts all the videos and puts ads at the end. I get a small payment for each click. I figured I might as well make some money off of this fiasco. The Enclosure Flex plugin was something my friend Kyle Gilman wrote for me back when I was hosting the videos myself. We give it away for free. That would be quite an elaborate advertisement for something we don’t get any money for.

As of right now, I don’t think there will be any more videos since Penny refuses to go anywhere near a webcam.

Some reasons:

- The book that she holds up with all the rules, she conveniently blocks part of the title in a weird way thereby skirting around fair use.

- Although this blog is about a relationship, in the 2nd episode when they are physically together there is this huge lack of touching. When it happens it’s conveniently off camera.

- This thing covers 5 months but theres a shocking lack of content here. Why didn’t he post the Australian girl talking to Penny. Now THAT would’ve been some blogging! As it stands there is a cast of 3 in this thing, with only one peek at the 3rd.

- This girl is prudish enough that she won’t show herself on a webcam but she’ll bare her taint to the pet store tycoon. Hmm. I’m not saying it’s impossible, just a little strange.

- Where in the hell would this guy get these ads at the end of every video? I was watching them thinking this is more of an experiment in narrowcasting ads to bloggers than a real life diary. Maybe this is just one big ad for the Flex Enclosure plug-in?

If I’m wrong and this is real then PUT SOME MORE UP! It’s the stuff that will cause more advanced civilizations to annihilate the earth but you just can’t stop watching!
