Welcome to LEO Weekly’s first-ever Sex Survey. Some of the editorial staff at LEO is through with love, so we decided to refocus our energy on something more upbeat, tangible and consistent — sex! We knew Louisvillians weren’t shy, so we took our survey to the streets to find out what happens behind bedroom doors (or in cars, parks and public restrooms). We tried our best to incorporate everyone — neighborhoods, nationalities and naughty seamstresses. A couple hundred surveys were filled out, and we spent weeks giggling over the results while remaining completely objective and open-minded. Truth is, though, y’all are freaks. And we like it. Turns out there are a few notches here in our Bible Belt.
Please remember that journalists aren’t good at math — so take these percentages loosely. We’re not shocked that ladies love to kiss and tell — 65 percent of the surveys were filled out by women. Perhaps more telling about our diversity here in Louisville is the fact that 29 percent of the survey-takers identified as gay, 11 percent bi, and 60 percent straight. And for the moment, it looks like a majority of us are shacked up — 48 percent in monogamous relationships, with 39 percent single, and a lucky 13 percent in “open” relationships.
Below are the results of our survey, with a sample of the most recurring, random and hilarious answers. We’d like to thank everyone who participated. A few of your surveys were earmarked and sent to the FBI — you know who you are.
So take a look at what your fellow citizens are into — and cross your fingers that your next bedmate is into the reverse cowgirl. —Sara Havens
