Latest Poll

Postby Midget on Wed Nov 08, 2006 12:08 am

As Lodestone hasn't already said it, isn't this poll a tad heteronormative? If not generally lacking in imagination.

Surely though, it caters for both hetero and homosexuals.

In a guy-guy relationship, the guy is on top. In a girl-girl relationship, the girl is on top. Man, you have it easy when choosing in this poll!

In the poll's defence, it's asking what's the best between girl on top and guy on top, rather than What's your favourite sexual position?

So it's neither lacking in imagination or excluding those of a homosexual bent.

Edit: I mis-spelled defence. How appalling.

I'm voting girl on top. Not sure if I'd want to have sex with a boy anyway.

Also - is "homosexual bent" an intended (if extremely weak and tasteless, like Tesco Value Tea) pun?

[hr]

Mmmmmmm, cake.

It wasn't intented, Will, no.

They were the first words that came into my (clearly empty) head.

I'm too tired to come up with a pun that, frankly, could be bettered by Bruce Forsyth.

No it asks for "The best way" thats the question, and then it only has limited answers.

Also, the best way to what? Fuck? Bake cakes? Climb over walls? Start a stilt based giant act in Market Street?

Going out on a limb here, I'd say its a sex reference...
In which case, it depends on the build of the person - eg someone the size of Richard Griffiths should never be allowed to go on top of anyone or anything.

It's purposefully vague to stop moaning wankers with nothing better to do from getting on their soap boxes and complaining it's hetro-orientated or something.

Because we all know you can't voice anything on the Sinner without pedantic loners shooting you down.

[/bitterness]

I thought it was about sex between a man and a woman. But feel free to interpret it however you like :)

All polls should have the wording, "From the following options..." at the start. Then it would shut dickheads complaining about it.

Actually, it wouldn't stop them. Being dickheads, they'd complain anyway.

The trouble with messageboards is that it's very hard to tell just through the written word how seriously someone is taking something. For example I'm sure a fair number of people 'moaning' aren't taking a poll on the sinner too seriously.

Lighten up. Listen to some happy metal...

Sure, why not?

People walk on eggshells in case you're shouted at for being sexist or homophobic and all sorts of crap which is why the poll is so vague....so people can interpret it how they like.

I interpetted it as hetro but hey...feel free to see it how you wish just don't complain that it's hetro-normative

I notice those complaining haven't come up with a better poll on the subject. In any case, is there anything wrong with a poll that isn't applicable to the entire community? How about the "What are you doing for Reading Week" poll? Those of us who are either not in St Andrews or not getting a reading week didn't get an option, but that's not what the question asked. It's not exactly as if Sinner polls are meant to be scientifically accurate anyway!

[hr]

...but then again, that is only my opinion.

Quite. I have no 'preffered' position, however I find head is recieved far more willingly by some than a shag.

I put this down to the lack of experience of the 'younger' generation/s, the inability for some people to feel orgasm, and my own sheer laziness at times.

However, the poll is shitely worded.
