Welcome to the New Majority

Every so often as I wander the internet, I come across a bit of information that causes me to stop and reassess the world and my place in it. I was reading an article this morning on the CNN site. It is a review of a new book on sexuality called "The Normal Bar."

The book presents statistics about the sexual habits of average people based upon an internet survey of 70,000 respondents. "That's interesting," I thought. Then I saw it.

        86% of all men and women are intrigued by having kinky sex.

There it was in black and white. Even if this number is way off, this world has to be just full of spankos and those who quietly wish they could be. I recognize that (a) a casual curiosity is not the same as a lifelong interest and (b) not every kinky person likes spanking and (c) people who take internet surveys may not be a representative sample of the general population. Even so, eighty six percent is nothing less than shocking.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are definitely not alone.
