A new report claims that all of you are getting much more freaky in the bedroom. Is the rise in kink because of the Internet? And is kinky sex a good thing? Find out after the jump.
ABC News has a special report out today:
"To badly paraphrase Alfred Kinsey, [who pioneered sex research in the 1940s and 50s, filming couples in flagrante in his Indiana attic], 'the only unnatural sex act is the one you can't perform,'" said Robert Dunlap, a California sex therapist and filmmaker.
Paraphilias -- or socially unacceptable sexual practices -- are more common than most ordinary "vanilla" teleiophiles [those who desire adults] would imagine, according to Dr. Judy Kariansky, a sex therapist from Columbia University.
Though there is no hard data on what whether a spike in interest means a spike in actual activity, experts say anecdotally that couples are showing a marked interest in exploring new sexual intensity.
In his 2001 film, "Beyond Vanilla," Dunlap interviewed more than 200 subjects who had one common denominator, some type of fetish -- bondage, flogging, knife play and fire, among others.
When asked "What is kinky?" academics, doctors, lawyers and even a congressman, shared fantasies like, "sex with a taxi driver in the back seat," "pouring candle wax on his testicles," "arresting someone and patting them down on the bar," "being gang-raped by many sets of twins, or better yet, triplets."
Whoa, slow down! Hey, at least they're not octuplets.
The kinkiest I've ever gotten is thinking about food while having sex. Seriously, is it weird that while waiting for my partners to finish, I've planned out entire post-fuck meals in my head? This probably isn't "kinky" and is instead what you might call "tragic."
Moving right along...
Read the rest of the article here, and then go have some kinky sex for me when you're done, because I'll pass. I'm too much of a control freak to ever be tied up or blindfolded or tortured for "pleasure." Sorry, not my deal!
