The Great Bacon Poll

Tibitha

In lieu of a variety of factual claims that was made in a related thread (and because I like data), I figure, let's have an ANONYMOUS poll.

Kiet

I think even in a private poll most people are going to lie here

Cynlael

I'm part female, part dinosaur, part jackrabbit. Mudsex 99% of the time, only partly maybe arouses me 1/3 of the time. Where's the option for that?

Tibitha don't discriminate please.

Sena

The poll is a bit ambiguous, is it only asking about people who do participate in mudsex, and whether or not they get aroused by participating? If not, it's going to be heavily skewed towards "generally does not arouse me" from all the people who just dislike mudsex (though that's likely to happen even if it was perfectly clear). And if your goal is to get an idea of how many people like/dislike mudsex, it will still be a bit messed up by people who like it but aren't aroused by it.

Valkyn

Yeah, needs more options. Like 'sometimes' and 'never tried it'

I was undecided about whether to add a "Do not mudsex" option but I ended up deciding to leave it out because a) its too easy a choice and b) just because you dont mudsex (anymore) for whatever reason it doesnt mean that one time you tried it didnt arouse you.

So suffice to say, even if you dont mudsex, i reckon youd know whether it would arouse you or not.

Heterosexual mudsex does not arouse me because I am not heterosexual.

I have never seen homosexual mudsex, nor really even heard it been mentioned before. It might arouse me, it might not -- either way I don't think I would be interested in participating in it. But that sounds like a different subject than what the poll is asking.

I'm male and bacon definitely arouses me though.

Sena

I think the question "How many people mudsex without being aroused by it?" (which is what I initially thought the poll was about, so I answered based on that; my answer is different otherwise) is a much more interesting one than "Do you find mudsex arousing, regardless of whether or not you do it?"

Szanthax

I'm female and I love bacon

Synbios

I'm an eldritch being from beyond the stars and I think bacon is the best thing invented since the wheel. And Internet.

Aegoth

9 females and 8 males are dirty liars

Yeah that was one of the discussions in the other thread and I figured that's what she meant to ask here too

Valkyn

Interesting how the male/female thing doesn't seem to be as different as you'd think.

@Krypton homosexual mudsex is definitely a thing.

I'm finding the poll a bit hard to reply given how situational it is. 

Unlike porn, I don't find other people's mudsex arousing. 

Firstly because it's weird seeing someone you know do it. I mean, if you walked in on your friend IRL, you're not gonna lean against the door while they're still pounding away and ask him/her if they wanna get a burger once they're done, right? 

Secondly, even excluding all the really bad "taks his big man-meat out n stiks it in u", it all tends to get a bit harlequin romance after a while.

On a personal basis, mudsex/cyber might get you going, but it doesn't finish the job. And then there's all those weird 'did u finish' ooc tells that leave you no choice but to lie. Or just find some other distraction. or force d/c. 

Sobriquet

I'm bacon and love females

Same. It gets very uncomfortable when the question pops up. Don't wanna bruise the ego, it's nothing personal after all. Bleh.

This. So much this. Nothing ensures that I will not want to interact with someone afterwards more than this. Not only is it awkward to answer, no matter how you do it instantly drags something that could have otherwise been entirely in character instantly and violently out of character. Whether or not I get off on something is just none of anyone's business but my own, and I do not want to know if my partner did either.

Valkyn

Wow, people actually ask that? Yuck.

The difference between men and women... people that can separate themselves from their characters, and people that cannot

I never gave it much thought, but that this is a thing is hilarious. Some how it makes the whole thing so much more comical. I'm not sure why, but just the idea of someone asking this after an intense mud-bacon session is killing me.

Arahaelon

I dunno, I generally find it a bit silly/ridiculous.  Maybe I have outgrown it from the time I was a teen or something, but I just couldn't take it seriously haha.  I have thought about starting a female Siren mudsex alt just because everyone keeps talking about a bunch of great free gifts you get.  Also, I think it would be hilariously fun to screw around with people haha.  So beware, because inevitably I am sure you will run into someone like me if you keep mudsexing

Kiet

No offense but 'haha it's so funny' and joking about 'making a female sexalt to mess with people' are the opposite of outgrowing something.

Trey

So we have Bacon and RP, now the Great Bacon Poll. The natural progression seems like a thread for mudsex logs called Makin' Bacon.

Saeva

Well, someone has to do it right?

Boosteya

I freely admit to having tried "bacon." On multiple occasions.

Every single time, either I was just going through the motions, or else I wound up wanting something with fewer words and a LOT more IRL action.

And I say this despite knowing the one who will understand it will probably not see it:

Stupid ocean.
