In the interest of balance...

I must report that according to this link (courtesy of mthrtongue, who got it from lazurstzthmt), the correct statistic is in fact this one:

Everyday, 200 million couples around the world have sex, which figures to be over 2000 couples "doing it" at any given moment.

Meaning that yesterday's figure of 100 million acts of intercourse per day was a tragic underestimate.

(And mind you, their little extrapolation assumes that each sex act only lasts for 1 second, which is kinda unrealistic... even if your average couple only has 1 minute of sex at any given time, that would actually be 120,000 couples having sex right this second.

Wow.)

Now I don't want any of you to get the notion that I'm obsessed by sex or anything. :P

Well think of it this way... if you aren't having sex right this second... just wait and another round of carnal adventures will be along momentarily. And we are all obessed with sex, because we are descendents of stupendous badasses who were obessed with sex... hence the continuation of the species :)

That's comforting...

I saw a book this afternoon that had a cover picture of a whole bunch of naked people lying on their stomachs in the grass, like the spokes of a wheel. We're a very strange-looking species when you get right down to it.
