Do you know what an orgasm is?
Do you prefer man on top or rear entry?
Have you tried oral sex?
Would you allow your boyfriend to take pictures of you while kissing or having sex?
Have you tried swapping boyfriends?
Are men attracted to breasts or butt?
Before you get any wrong ideas, these are the questions taken from the latest issue of India Today, where they have surveyed unmarried women between 18 to 30 years of age to know about their sexual preference.
I really like India Today and considered it one of the better magazines. But what I can’t understand is that what is the use of such kind of a survey. If it is taken in national interest, then may I ask that how does it benefit the nation by knowing if a girl prefers man on top or rear entry position.
Such things are very personal in nature and better be kept within the confines of the bedroom. I am not being narrow minded, but I just fail to see any utility of it what so ever. If India Today wants to suggest that they are doing the survey to know female preferences so that males can understand it better, then I completely disagree.
Not all females have same preferences and individual preferences can be communicated to your better half personally. This survey hasn’t really done anything to improve the women’s position in Indian society.
In my view, this survey is nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt by the magazine to titillate its readers and earn some quick bucks, which they have been losing out to its competitor Outlook. This is a really sad thing considering the reputation of India Today. Rather than improving the quality, they are going down to such cheap gimmicks.
I wouldn’t have been surprised if magazines like Cosmopolitan or Femina came up with such a kind of survey, but going by India Today’s standards it just wasn’t on. This may give a temporary boost to their sales, but in the long run it will tarnish their image.
Some years back parents were happy if their child read India Today, but after this episode now they may have to keep a check that their child doesn’t read India Today. I’m not against sex education. I’m against half baked titillating text served in the name of sex education.
All in all, I surely do not recommend you the latest edition of India Today. I hope it can come back on track since it’s a nice informative magazine otherwise.
Pray that it doesn’t go the Times of India way!
