Kinks.

[swestrup]

I happened to learn about one of my friend's sexual kink's today. Wasn't anything particularly "out there" as these things go, but it got me thinking. About half my friends have various kinks that I know about. Some have large collections, in designer colours.  As a result I often simply assume that everyone is at the very least "gently bent" in one way or another.

Then again, every once in a long while an acquaintance of mine will proclaim themselves to be completely vanilla and straight and boring, as if this were somehow a good thing, and I end up wondering about sampling statistics and selection effects.

So, what do folks think is the most likely scenario:

1. There's a bell curve of kinkiness with most folks in the middle and the vanillas and the truly twisted at the ends.
2. Most folks are boring and vanilla but I only hang with interesting folks, and they have their delightful quirks.
3. Everyone has some strange thing that turns them on, be it rhubarbs or fuzzy dice, but some folks refuse to accept and/or admit that, even to themselves.

Or is the truth some scenario that I haven't even considered?
