       | Oh, ok. I thought you said something else for a second.

       | This is interesting... but please be aware publishing data on
       | these things changes it, since the fetish community is full of
       | weird little edgelords who poop themselves in fear (rather than
       | as part of some mutually agreed upon sex game) when they realize
       | you weren't kidding when you told that cutie in Bloomington that
       | Armin Meiwes did nothing wrong and that next time you don't want
       | to _just_ dry fire their wonder nine.
       | 
       | And if you _really_ want to have fun, do as Kinsey did and have
       | them flip a coin and only be truthful if it 's heads, then double
       | your sample size to compensate. That's how you gather _truly_
       | useful data that will keep you entertained long after your IRB
       | certification expires ;-)
