Hello, I’ve looked for documentation and evidence to refute or validate the statement my sociology professor made to illustrate that the world isn’t really what it seems. He claims that “one out of every eight humans has had sex with an animal.” Please respond if you’re going to investigate “the old one in eight” as my professor calls it. –Au Simpson

According to Alfred Kinsey–you knew I was going to drag him into this–“Some 17 percent of the farm boys in our sample had had some sexual contact with farm animals to the point of orgasm, while half or more of the boys from certain rural areas of the United States had had such experience.” Kinsey later alludes to the greater tolerance for such things in the west. I take this to mean that in Kinsey’s day, when you saw a happy couple walking down the aisle in Wyoming, it was better than even money that the groom had had sex with a sheep.
You think it’s just horny farm boys who do this? I have a report about a 42-year-old woman with four children who was five months pregnant. She complained to her doctor of dizziness and fainting and “confessed that approximately 20 minutes prior to her arrival she had had coitus with her German shepherd dog….One or 2 minutes later she began feeling hot, broke out in whelps [!] and felt faint.” She was allergic to dog semen, the loser.
