There was a radio talkshow host here in Boston (he passed away a few years back),,,he, Jerry Williams, The Dean of Talk Radio, used to do a a sex survey twice a year...he would ask certain questions from Cosmo magazine and would only allow women to call in, one time a woman called in and told the story about how she had sex on a washing machine, it was the best story.....I was never able to look at a washing machine in the same way again since then!
