Before I unpack the OkCupid post about sexual activity, phone types and taking self-portraits that could get you laid — and all the media hype* it’s generating — I’d like to show you the graphic that made my day: Back Door Play: Which State is the Most Anal?.
Oh, Alaska! We never knew you!
My friends at MyPleasure (they of the I-could-marry-it Fairy Mini Wand/USB) put together their sales data on sales of anal toys by state, and gave us this very interesting map. How does your state size up? Is this a case of “free your data and your ass will follow”? Either way, it feeds my twin fetishes of sex data nerdery and infographics/data visualization. I have other fetishes, but those two are up there for me with, like, shoes and corsets and smartphones.
MyPleasure also have a nifty Sex Dice app for iPhone and Android.
* Quantity is not quality, dear readers. I am, after all, an Android-using fembot.
My wife and I live in Alaska and have six anal toys, which is enough for the whole Mat-Su Valley.
I guess I should cut us some slack here in Cali… I have no qualms about walking into The Pleasure Chest to buy a new butt plug in person, no mail order necessary! :)
I suspect that Alaska wins because of mail-order, as this is a survey of people who bought anal toys shipped from specific outlets. The reason Washington gets a frowney is because we don’t have to buy mail-order, we have The Crypt and Babeland.
Hell, my toybox alone could get me arrested in Texas… twice!
I am very disappointed with my state’s ranking here. I mean, we have San Francisco! Aren’t we supposed to be “Sodom”?
Geez, I’ve tried my best in both Illinois and California and they’re both still lagging behind Virginia… come on, Californians, where your sense of backdoor adventures! :)
From an anal-ytical perspective, all this really means is that people in Alaska do a lot of internets shopping for their anal toys compared with other acquisition or borrowing options.
However, a more controlled procedure could be performed with some stimulus funds.
