What was your hottest sexual experience last year? For one female respondent to the Georgia Straight’s third annual on-line sex survey, it was wearing a skirt to the Roxy, sitting on a high stool, and having sex in the packed bar. Another woman reported writhing around with a man 10 years younger, feeling “drunk on my own sexual power”. One man claimed that his hottest encounter was on the tram that travels between the Luxor and Excalibur hotels in Las Vegas.
When respondents were asked about the most unusual location where they had sex, one woman said it occurred in the “Ronald McDonald fire safety house in a fire hall with a fireman”. A man claimed that he once had sex in a police car. Another man reported having sex on the Burrard Street Bridge, though he didn’t reveal what time of day this occurred.
The Straight’s sex survey, which was posted at Straight.com during December and January, attracted more than 25,000 anonymous responses to individual questions. It’s not a scientific poll because the respondents chose themselves. It’s quite likely that people of a prudish bent would be far less likely to fill in the on-line questionnaire that asks if they masturbate while imagining kinky sex.
For the third year in a row, female visitors to Straight.com chose Johnny Depp as the actor they’d most like to have sex with. The only other triple-crown winners were Mick Jagger and Tom Cruise, who have been chosen for three consecutive years as the musician and actor that women would least like to have in their bedroom.
Rihanna made her first appearance in the list of top five musicians that men would like to have sex with. Britney Spears, as you can imagine, fared considerably worse in this year’s survey, thanks to a series of imbroglios that provided tabloid headlines throughout the past year.
A greater percentage of men than women responded that they have had sex with a person because of their wealth. It suggests that women aren’t the gold diggers in this city. Men also admitted more often than women that they’ve blatantly lied to persuade someone to have sex with them.

Don’t forget to visit Straight.com at the end of December to participate in the next sex survey. Maybe then women will surprise us and decide that Mick Jagger and Tom Cruise aren’t so bad after all, and others are worthy of being voted the least desirable musician or actor.
