(JEZEBEL) – Tracie Egan Morrissey

A new study reveals 92% of women regularly take time out to masturbate, a huge jump from the findings of previous studies (74% in 1979 and 62% in 1953).

The Gossard Big M Survey interviewed 1,000 women, ages 18-30, and their answers indicate that not only do 9 out of 10 women play with themselves, two-thirds do it three times a week. The study refers to these as “sessions,” which we can assume doesn’t refer to the number of orgasms achieved, but rather, the time spent achieving them. ‘Cause you know that if you have one, you stick around for more. Orgasms from masturbating are like Payless shoes: Once you get the first pair, you get the second for next to nothing.

Going just from the published findings of this survey, it’s impossible to determine, on average, what percentage of the week is spent flying solo. So maybe we can make this a group effort? I’ll start off:

- I masturbate, on average, 5 days a week.
– Each “session” lasts for about 12 minutes, with a minimum of 3 orgasms a session, and a max of 13. (I don’t know if these means I’m really good at it, or really bad.)
– I sleep, on average, about 6 hours a night, so I’m deducting that from my “week.”

Variables:
– I work from home, so I have more opportunities to masturbate on a whim than most women.
– I use a Hitachi Magic Wand, which is indeed magical, so the act is easier. However, I also make up for time saved by being greedy with as many orgasms as possible.

So, if my math is correct, then:
7,080 minutes of my week, I am awake.
60 minutes are spent masturbating.

Which means:
.84% of my week is spent masturbating.

But also, of the days I masturbate:
1,080 minutes of my day are spent awake.
12 minutes are spent masturbating.

Which means:
1.1% of my day is spent masturbating.

Holy queef farts…. Please tell me that all women are like Tracie. Averages 5 days a week? Are you shitting me? That’s literally less than what I average (shocking, I know). Minimum of 3 orgasms per session and a maximum of 13? How the hell is that even humanly possible? If guys were able to achieve the same amount of orgasms per “session,” I can promise you that none of us would ever leave our room, except to eat and poop. Period. Unless it were possible for guys to do it as discretely as I think it is for women. Then I would seriously masturbate anywhere and everywhere….while I’m driving, during class, at the bar, at the rink, when I’m sleeping, when I wake up, while eating breakfast, during sex, etc…

I will never look at a girl the same after looking at these ‘facts’… every time I see one of my girl friends now I am going to wonder if she just got done masturbating… and judging from these stats, odds are pretty good that she probably has.

If 92% of women actually admitted to masturbating on a regular basis, I’m sure that means that actually 99% of chicks definitely do. Which means that 7% felt weird or awkward responding honestly to this anonymous survey and 1% for the disabled

PS – Girls would be 1,000 times cooler if they were as open and honest about this type of shit as guys are…. but then again when you think about it, i guess some girls are…. and we have a very special name for them, its “slut” … which prolly explains why girls keep this type of shit private   :(

Drinking Game of the Week

Posted: February 3, 2012 in Uncategorized

What better way to start off the weekend in the State of Hockey than with a drinking game correlated with our States top sport. This game is for any night that either the Gophers or Wild are playing. Here are the rules:

Each person participating, i.e., watching the game at your place, picks a player from the team (snake draft style if you are drafting more than one.)

Each time a player that has been chosen scores, everyone except for the person who’s player scored, takes a shot or chuggs a beer (you have anywhere from :30-1 minute seconds to chugg the beer.)

If one of the players records an assist, everyone except for the person who’s player got the assist, takes 1/2 a shot or chuggs 1/2 a beer (again, you have :15-:30 seconds to chugg the beer.)

Depending on how high scoring the game is, if you’re also playing other games, or if you’re just tryin to get shit-hammed drunk… you can draft more players before or during the game.

If one of your players sets up your other player for a goal, everyone will be taking an extra 1/2 shot…. making it 2 shots or 2 beers.

If you’re lucky enough to have both the Wild and Gophers playing on the same night, don’t be a pussy, draft players from both teams and let the fun commence.

You can also add that you have to take a full or 1/2 shot every time the other team scores.

Pretty chill game that is virtually free.

(DeadSpin)  – This is a regular feature breaking down, minute-by-minute, the content that appears on ESPN’s SportsCenter throughout the week.

ESPN’s SportsCenter is the definitive sports-news program. So what exactly does SportsCenter define as worth covering? Using a TV monitoring service and an extensive spreadsheet, we’ll try to answer that every week.

We’ve chosen to work with the 11 p.m. Eastern time edition of SportsCenter, because it’s the one that airs after most of the day’s news and events have ended. The week’s content will be broken down according to time devoted to individual sports and teams. We’ll also calculate which athletes receive the most mentions.

Commercials won’t count in the tally of air time, as they don’t contain any highlights or coverage. It’s worth noting just how many commercials there are on the show, though. The 12 SportsCenter programs filled 759 minutes and 30 seconds on the schedule, of which 199 minutes and 30 seconds were advertisements—a little more than one-fourth of the total air time.

Here’s what was on from Jan. 7 through Jan. 18:

Total time: 759.5 minutes
Time (minus commercials): 560 minutes

TIME DEVOTED TO INDIVIDUAL SPORTS
NFL: 225.5 minutes (40.2%)
NBA: 106.5 (19%)
College basketball: 76 (13.6%)
College football: 55 (9.8%)
MLB: 16.75 (2.9%)
NHL: 13.5 (2.4%)
Other sports: 18 (3.2%)
SportsCenter staples (things like the “Top 10,” “Encore,” “What 2 Watch 4,” etc.): 48.75 (8.7%)

MOST-COVERED TEAMS BY SPORT
New York Giants (NFL): 53 minutes (6.9%)
Miami Heat (NBA): 20.5 (2.6%)
Alabama Crimson Tide (college football): 31 (4%)
Baylor Bears (college basketball): 17.5 (2.3%)
Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL): 5 (0.6%)
Texas Rangers (MLB): 2 (0.26%)

MOST-MENTIONED ATHLETES
Rather than break down the amount of time a specific athlete was covered, we counted how frequently names were mentioned in the transcripts from the week. The 10 most-mentioned athletes for Jan. 7-18:

Tim Tebow: 154 mentions
Aaron Rodgers: 54
LeBron James: 52
Tom Brady: 45
Kobe Bryant: 38
Dwyane Wade: 38
Drew Brees: 30
Alex Smith: 25
Demaryius Thomas: 23
Eli Manning: 22

Note: ESPN spent 30 minutes of coverage focused solely on Tim Tebow, including a segment on Tim Tebow as a superhero (complete with a comic commissioned by Marvel, a fellow subsidiary of Disney), celebrities and athletes talking about Tebow, several highlight packages of his “comebacks” this season, and a hockey highlight dedicated to a player who “Tebowed” after he scored a goal.

A few other takeaways:

The NFL is king: Granted, this experiment began during the beginning of the wild card round of the playoffs, but the NFL still received considerable coverage during weekdays, when the teams were idle while other sporting events took place. SportsCenter dedicated a little more than 40 percent of its air time to the NFL from Jan. 7 though Jan. 18. Runner up was the NBA, which was the main subject 19 percent of the time.

ESPN doesn’t give a shit about the NHL: Perhaps this isn’t shocking to most of the audience, but the extent to which The Worldwide Leader ignores hockey is astounding. Despite being in the middle of the regular season, the sport was granted all of 13.5 minutes, or less than three percent of the content. That’s less time than was devoted to the MLB, a sport in the middle of an offseason with few newsworthy events since Albert Pujols joined the Angels in December. The NHL is the only major sport that does not have a television deal with ESPN.

Tebow is the new Favre: Like it or not, it’s obvious ESPN has invested heavily in Tebowmania—from featuring the aforementioned Tebow comic, to shoehorning him in to highlights from other sports, to dedicating the first 15 minutes (commercial free) to the Broncos victory over the Steelers. SportsCenter said his name more often than it said the words “did,” “been,” then,” and “your.” “Tebow” was the 38th-most commonly used word on the show.

Games on ESPN often get preferential treatment: Games broadcast by ESPN or a sibling network immediately preceding SportsCenter were given top billing on six out of the 12 shows we reviewed. (These games were also given additional coverage via studio analysis, remarks from commentators on the scene, and interviews with players.) The only times that ESPN did not lead with its own game were Jan. 7 and 8 (NFL playoffs), Jan. 12 (Minnesota upsets Indiana in college basketball), Jan. 14 and 15 (NFL playoffs), Jan. 17 (Spurs-Heat).

Analysis has become a major programming crutch: With the success of Pardon the Interruption and apparently Skip Bayless, ESPN has slowly morphed from a station that covers events to one that analyzes and offers opinions on those events and their participants. This trend has bled into SportsCenter, especially before and after “major” events. Nearly half of the coverage of the Broncos-Patriots divisional-round matchup was not of the game itself, but featured Merril Hoge and Trent Dilfer discussing Tom Brady’s brilliance or whether a spread-option offense can succeed in the NFL. We defined analysis as programming that focuses on topics regarding recent or upcoming sporting events. This does not count edited reports, press conferences, the traditional highlight packages, or feature stories. By this definition, ESPN dedicated 116 minutes and 30 seconds to analyzing games and players, or more than 20 percent of their air time, minus commercials.
