What you find in Sweden (and other Nordic countries and the Netherlands) is unusually high levels of self-reported satisfaction with ordinary sexual practices. People like their vanilla sex. If works for them. So saying that people who are happy with vanilla sex are Swedish-like makes some sense.
Right, France has one of the highest sexual-satisfaction rates in Europe with heterosexual couples reporting vaginal penetration 98% of the time and a high disapproval (or denial) of masturbation.
ETA: Between this and Movies, I am all about the French fucking today.

In other news, I somehow managed to score a haircut appointment for tomorrow. That never happens. Usually Alison is booked up a couple weeks in advance for saturday haircuts, with a lot of people on the waiting list. I figured I'd have to survive another couple weeks.

Four confirmed cases of E.Coli here in town. Feh.

Oh, it might be from a Susie Bright essay. That sounds plausible, at least.

That doesn't qualify as "other news" for me.
This whole conversation is worth it just to add "get your bork on" to the lexicon.

Get these motherborking snakes off this motherborking plane!
To ask the Swedish krav instructor or not to ask...
This week I have asked him to stand up, turn around, drop something on the floor and pick it up. So it's either the right week to ask him about vanilla!Sweden, or the wrong one.
