Sex and the Windy City

Am I normal?

The first Cosmo quiz I remember taking was called, "Am I normal, sexually?" I don't remember any of the questions, but I was nonetheless relieved to have ended up in the "normal" bracket. Of course, with Cosmo questions, it's usually glaringly obvious what answers will land you where. For instance:

Your idea of a hot, kinky night with your man is:
a) keeping the lights on!
b) fuzzy handcuffs and edible body paint
c) sodomizing a mule
For the seven people in the world who are unsatisfied by such sweeping generalizations of normality, and want solid, internet-poll proof of how normal it is to "love Asian girls" (69%) or to "feel happy when a gay guy huges you" [sic], visit Is It Normal?, where you can submit stories about a situation, and whoever stumbles upon it can vote yes or no on whether that situation is f*cked up or just plain a'ight. If you have 15 minutes to kill, and have already exhausted stick figures in peril, then check out some of the sex questions, for such gems as, and there are [sics] all over this by the way, "Im goin out with my non blood related cuzin is this normal?" (46%) and "putting my a**hole on chairs" (no rating supplied). While perhaps this method of being judged works for some, I prefer the old fashioned route to sexual validation: Facebook statuses.

A while back, Time Out Chicago's Sex Issue asked 1,000 readers to answer an online survey about doin' it, which is a more calculated, (and grammatically-sound) way of determining what's "normal." They asked a variety of questions, on toy usage, orgasms and favorite positions. For instance, a mere 3% of Chicagoans polled objected to porn for moral reasons, and 58% wanted their porn to be without plot. (ed. note: pot, on the other hand, was a-okay). 26% of women had faked an orgasm in the last month. And a whopping 64% said they'd had public sex, though "rarely did the cops get involved." (They're never around when you need them!)
