So okay, this won't be much of a post. Won't be baring my soul or anything like that tonight. Reason being, I have too much to say, and not enough time to say it. Have to get up bright and early for work later (actually, in another 2 hours or so). Serving the Nation and all. Next weekend perhaps. So here's what I'll do. Found an interesting survey while scouring through some backdated newspapers recently (we run out of things to read in camp). Found it rather amusing, especially when I reached the last statistic. Enjoy.

SHOULD LAW AGAINST ORAL SEX BE LIFTED?
Do you think oral sex should be made legal?
Yes, as long as it is consensual, it is a private matter
Votes: 5,061
No, it is unnatural and therefore wrong
Votes: 389
If it remains an offence, do you feel both the man and the woman should be punished equally if the act is consensual?
Yes, it takes two to tango
Votes: 4,658
No, the man should take sole responsibility
Votes: 150
No, only the person who performs the act should be punished
Votes: 224
No, only the person receiving the act should be punished
Votes: 144
Do you feel making oral sex legal will also lead to more liberal and permissive laws such as on 'carnal intercourse with animals'?
Yes, society is becoming increasingly liberal and laws will reflect that
Votes: 690
No, there are some things that will always remain taboo
Votes: 2,357
As long as it's consensual, it should be a private matter. But animals can't consent
Votes: 2,290
