Sex Survey Gets Men Hot Under Collar
SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) - An Australian magazine has apologized after
sending out a sex survey to 12,000 men, asking them if they had had sex with prostitutes, animals or even food,
without a cover letter explaining why they were being asked.
``B'' Magazine editor Christina Larmer told Reuters older men in particular had been offended by the
unexplained explicit questions and the magazine had even received a few calls from outraged wives.
But the Sydney-based women's publication stood by its survey, because those were the sort of things about
men that its 18-24-year-old female audience really wanted to know.
``Our apologies to those people. We had intended to include a cover letter,'' Larmer said.
``It is a bit of fun but it is also legitimate. We stand by the survey. These are things that my readers are
constantly asking us about.''
The survey, due to be published in ``B'' Magazine's May issue, asked men whether they had ever had sex with
another man, a prostitute, an animal or a food substance. It asked how often they masturbated and the most
unusual place they had had sex.
Larmer said the question that had aroused the most curiosity was the one about sex with food.
``In fact, I'm asking my research department to do a quick calculation to see what we did find out about that
one,'' she said. ``You only get the weird and wonderful statistics if you ask the weird and wonderful questions.'' |
