What America is doing behind closed doors...

The February issue of Esquire magazine reports on the results of a survey it commissioned, along with Marie Clare magazine. The subject of the survey is modern American sexual habits, and I'd like to be able to report on the results, but this is a family-friendly blog, and while there is nothing more friendly to the creation of families than sex, it has been suggested that I refrain from the more graphic statistics and focus on the more, shall we say, modest elements.

For instance, when asked "Are you more willing to give up sex or sleep?'' 61 percent of women said sex; 65 percent of men would give up sleep to get some sex. This is no surprise to men who have tried to gently rouse their partners in the wee hours of the morning, is it?

Women are twice as likely to feel regret after a one-night stand then men, who are three times as likely as women to feel satisfied the morning after.

Does high school never end? Sixty percent of men surf the internet for porn compared to 17 percent of women. To which I would sheepishly have to say: "Define porn.''

There's penty of other stuff going on in this survey, and apparently everywhere but my house.
