Per request (see, I'm soo nice!) of the SSC committee, I wrote this little vignette.  I heard the statistic at a reading of women's erotica.  I irritated the friend I was with by repeating it all evening (and in the ensuing weeks) in disbelief.  I really was wearing overall shorts at the time.  Everything else is made up.<g>
 

Six out of Seven?!?

By

Dyke Grrl <dyke.grrl@verizon.net>

"Surveys indicate that one person in seven participates in some form of s/m sex," the poet commented.  I listened to her poem, and then realized..

"Six out of seven people are vanilla?!" I whispered to Janey.  "That can't be right!"

"Shhhhh, Michelle," Janey whispered.  "Let people listen."

But as the poet left the stage, I had to repeat, "Six out of seven!  No way!!  A lot of people had to have lied."

"Michelle!  Shut up!" A few heads turned our way.

"They must be lying," I consoled myself.  I didn't think again about the statistic until we left.  Every several minutes, as Janey and I sat in the caf� with our friends Liza and Sam, I would comment, "Six out of seven?!  No way!!"

Janey rolled her eyes.  "Michelle.  We all heard.  Be quiet."

"Nanny-nanny-boo-boo, you ca-an't make me."

"Stop being a brat and drink your coffee."

"I know you are, but what am I?"

As we waited for the train to go home, I commented again, "Six out of seven. No way!!"

"Michelle.  Shut up.  I mean it."

"Anybody want a peanut?" I asked, engaging in some subtle brattiness.  "They had to be lying," I added.

Janey had finally had enough.  "Why don't we find out?" she asked her voice dangerous.  "There are about fifty people in here.  Let's see what they think."

"They wouldn't tell us!" I pointed out.

"No problem.  Sam, Liza, you're both observant women.  I want you to watch, and see how many people seem interested." Janey firmly grabbed my arm, and pulled me across her lap.

"Wait!  Janey!  What are you doing?!" I asked as quietly as I could, trying not to call attention to myself, draped across my girlfriend's lap.

Smack!  Her hand cracked down, but over my shorts, it didn't make much noise.  No one noticed.  It was overalls, and she wouldn't take them off, not in public.  Unfortunately, the shorts were baggy, and there was plenty of room to drag the legs up.

SMACK!!  The slap reverberated through the station.  SMACK!!  I kept my face down, cheeks burning.  SMACK!!  SMACK!!  Janey concentrated on the spanking. SMACK!!!  I concentrated on being quiet.  SMACK!!!  SMACK!!  After about a minute, Janey asked, "Do you two think you've got an accurate count?"

Liza smirked, "Yeah, I think we have pretty fair assessment."

Janey let go of me just as the train came.  I hurried to be the first one on.  The others followed me.  Liza and Sam got seats halfway down the car from us.  I glared out the window, and wouldn't look at Janey.

"So?  What did you observe?" Janey asked the other two when we got to my house.

Liza and Sam giggled.  "Janey, you won't like this, but Michelle was right. I'd say a good third of the people there were quite interested."

I smirked at Janey, stuck out my tongue, wiggled my hips, and said, "Ha-ha, ha-ha.  I was right, and you were wrong." And then I trotted upstairs.

The End

A snappy, fast paced story from Dyke Grrl, filled with wit and humor. The dialogue is lively and I particularly liked how the statistic was reinforced through the story. It's a shame that the statistic and the overalls are the only factual parts of the story. This could be a fun and interesting research project for a curious person to try, just to find out the actual results.

Six to seven cane strokes says it can't be true. :-)

This cute little story very precisely describes a normal person's reaction at out-of-the-sky statistics. We have no way of knowing if so many people really are vanilla, and Janey's method of finding it out will hardly work in real world, but reading about Michelle sufferings for the sake of science is a lot of fun.
