Repost, statistics, boys kissing

[featherynscale]

OK. Here's the deal, because there's nobody in the office today and I can spend the time to type this all out again. This morning, I made a poll. LJ ate it. It was about boys kissing, and I am sad to see that it has gone. So I thought, perhaps I'll talk about the results from the last poll, the one about showing your bits for art, because that was interesting in parts...


So, first things first. I asked two questions. Question A was "If I asked you to send me a picture of your bits, and said it was for artistic purposes, would you believe that?". Question B was "Would you, in fact, send the pictures?".

Now, 40 people responded, and about 75% of them would believe me, which is fun, because if I said that, I wouldn't even believe me. So everybody trusts my good intentions more than I do. 50% said they would send the pics, which is a higher number than I expected, but okay.

Breaking it down by gender, 23 respondents were gentlemen, and 17 were ladies (the first time I typed this, I used the P word, like that thing that "mightier than the sword", and I think that might be why LJ ate the post...maybe). So those are pretty good numbers, but I digress. Men were more likely than women to believe me (87% vs. 59%), and also more likely to send pictures (61% vs 35%). And that was about what I expected.

So I decided to compare answers A&B, and then sort that by gender. Overall, it looked like this:
38% believed me, and would send pics.
38% believed me, but wouldn't play.
13% didn't believe me, but would show me anyway.
13% didn't believe me, and declined to send pics.

It's more interesting broken out by gender:

Among men,
52% believed me, and would send pics.
35% believed me, but wouldn't play.
9% didn't believe me, but would show me anyway.
4% didn't believe me, and declined to send pics.

Among women,
18% believed me, and would send pics.
41% believed me, but wouldn't play.
18% didn't believe me, but would show me anyway.
24% didn't believe me, and declined to send pics.

Now, I'd like to call attention to the third case, doesn't believe but would send pics. Anybody see anything unlikely in there? Discuss. :)


Also, if anybody would like to discuss their attitudes and reactions to boys kissing (or girls kissing, or boys and girls kissing), even though the poll has vanished into the ether, that would also be welcome here.

Girls kissing each other turns me on, and girls doing more turns me on.
Boys kissing each other is okay, but for some reason boys getting spanked by big strong men turn me on.

So with the women it didn't matter wether the believed you or not you'd get pic's, whereas with men they needed to believe you to send you pics

Your mind boggles mine

I honestly don't think I could ever be that bored. One of the 5 million reasons why I love you. Oh, and boys kissing?: Guh. just guh. For that matter, girls kissing also rates a guh.

Eh. The analysis didn't take nearly as long as typing out the damned post twice. Also, I <3 statistics.

fear not

Though agrnmn will not be kissing another boy for his pleasure or my own, there's no particular reason not to do it for you. :) That's what friends are for, after all.

Re: fear not

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

That's okay. agrnmn does not have to kiss boys for my amusement. I have the deep-seated belief that the universe is full of boys that *want* to kiss other boys, and who are willing to do so for my amusement.

Of course, I'm not sure how many of them I can talk into kissing triadruid. But probably a lot -- he's a very good kisser.

I have few views on people kissing, other than that it is generally a good thing, regardless of gender, etc.

[malvito.livejournal.com]

Of course, I would trust you enough to send you a pic of my naughty bits if requested. It must be noted, though, that: A) I trust you implicitly anyway, even though I know that you would lead me down a lot of interesting paths just out of sheer amusement, and B) you (and several others on our respective Flists) have been to Heartland and have already seen my naughty bits, so it's hardly like there is any dreaded secret.

"I know that you would lead me down a lot of interesting paths just out of sheer amusement"

Damn right I will. Hee!

[malvito.livejournal.com]

...and I will gladly follow. Partly because I admire the originality and craftiness of the paths down which you lead me, and partly because i continue to nurse hopes that at least one such path with result in your being naked as well.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

*shrug*
I've seen me naked.
I'd say it's not as impressive as one might think, except that I can't really envision why anyone might think it would be impressive in the first place.

[malvito.livejournal.com]

I certainly would not presume to speak for you in that respect. Speaking for myself, all I can say is that I'm impressed.

Being one of the few...

[niveus-tigris.livejournal.com]

Theoretical situation:

So you call me up and say, "Kitty, I want you to pose naked for me so that I can draw your bits."
I laugh and reply something like, "Right...it's for art, hmmm? I'll be right over."

After having been a sailor for six years, I have no modesty, no shame and a great comfort level with my own sexuality. I would sooner believe that you would just want to see my bits. Given permission, I'd happily show them to you.

Re: Being one of the few...

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I've seen your bits, sailor. There was this thing, with this kilt...
Yeah. :)

Also, why are you a chick?

A chick?

Did the icon not display as a white tiger laughing?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

It is now. When it first came in, it was a sort of crappy webcam-type picture of an attractive blonde girl. It seemed unlike you.

Kissing

[lightonthesill.livejournal.com]

Generally, boy-girl or girl-girl kissing has the greatest effect...but in general people kissing like they mean it does it for me regardles of the gender match up.

[kcwitch.livejournal.com]

you mean boys kissing boys, girls kissing girls, boys and girls kissing or kissing in general? personally i am all for all of the above. i actually love to watch people kiss as much as i love to kiss people. but that's me.
