Desire gets the best of modesty

I've been reading Mary Roach's book, Bonk, this week. As in Roach's Stiff before it, the book is oddly informative and very funny. Which isn't necessarily relevant to anything except that today is the birthday of Alfred Kinsey. I had high hopes to quote a funny line from Bonk about Kinsey. But, out of respect for the little eyes that may come across this post, I think this is about all I can reference:

Kinsey wanted to document the full spectrum of human sexuality, but it was more than that. He believed these people might have things to teach about the psychology of sex. And he was right.

If you are interested in learning about Kinsey's infatuation with toothbrushes, you will need to get the book. I will only say - and this may be revealing a bit too much - that it gives a whole new dimension to cavity creeps.
