Hot, Rich and Dominant 5 - No More Secrets

---

But sexual preference has long been among the subjects upon which people have tended to lie. I think I can use big data to give a better answer to this question than we have ever had. First, more on that survey data. Surveys tell us there are far more gay men in tolerant states than intolerant states. For example, according to a Gallup survey, the proportion of the population that is gay is almost twice as high in Rhode Island, the state with the highest support for gay marriage, than Mississippi, the state with the lowest support for gay marriage.

There are two likely explanations for this. First, gay men born in intolerant states may move to tolerant states. Second, gay men in intolerant states may not divulge that they are gay. Some insight into explanation number one — gay mobility — can be gleaned from another big data source: Facebook, which allows users to list what gender they are interested in. And Facebook too shows big differences in the gay population in states with high versus low tolerance: Facebook has the gay population more than twice as high in Rhode Island as in Mississippi.

Facebook also can provide information on how people move around. I was able to code the home town of a sample of openly gay Facebook users.

This allowed me to directly estimate how many gay men move out of intolerant states into more tolerant parts of the country. There is clearly some mobility — from Oklahoma City to San Francisco, for example. But I estimate that men moving to someplace more open-minded can explain less than half of the difference in the openly gay population in tolerant versus intolerant states. If mobility cannot fully explain why some states have so many more openly gay men, the closet must be playing a big role.

Which brings us back to Google, with which so many people have proved willing to share so much. Overall, there are more gay porn searches in tolerant states compared with intolerant states. In Mississippi, I estimate that 4. So how many American men are gay? Five per cent of American men being gay is an estimate, of course.

Some men are bisexual; some — especially when young — are not sure what they are. But one consequence of my estimate is clear: And, in many cases, they may even be married to women. It turns out that wives suspect their husbands of being gay rather frequently. They demonstrate that suspicion in the surprisingly common search: The states with the highest percentage of women asking this question are South Carolina and Louisiana. In fact, in 21 of the 25 states where this question is most frequently asked, support for gay marriage is lower than the national average.

Closets are not just repositories of fantasies. When it comes to sex, people keep many secrets — about how much they are having, for example. Americans report using far more condoms than are sold every year. You might therefore think this means they are just saying they use condoms more often during sex than they actually do.

The evidence suggests they also exaggerate how frequently they are having sex to begin with. But this would already be more than the total number of pregnancies in the United States which is one in women of childbearing age. In our sex-obsessed culture it can be hard to admit that you are just not having that much. On Google, there are 16 times more complaints about a spouse not wanting sex than about a married partner not being willing to talk.

There are five-and-a-half times more complaints about an unmarried partner not wanting sex than an unmarried partner refusing to text back. And Google searches suggest a surprising culprit for many of these sexless relationships. How should we interpret this?

Does this really imply that boyfriends withhold sex more than girlfriends? As mentioned earlier, Google searches can be biased in favour of stuff people are uptight talking about. Still, even if the Google data does not imply that boyfriends are really twice as likely to avoid sex as girlfriends, it does suggest that boyfriends avoiding sex is more common than people let on.

Google data also suggests a reason people may be avoiding sex so frequently: Men Google more questions about their sexual organ than any other body part: Men conduct more searches for how to make their penises bigger than how to tune a guitar, make an omelette, or change a tyre. Do women care about penis size? Rarely, according to Google searches.

Once again, the insecurities of men do not appear to match the concerns of women. There are roughly the same number of searches asking how to make a boyfriend climax more quickly as climax more slowly. Sex and romance are hardly the only topics cloaked in shame and, therefore, not the only topics about which people keep secrets. Many people are, for good reason, inclined to keep their prejudices to themselves.

I suppose you could call it progress that many people today feel they will be judged if they admit they judge other people based on their ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. But many Americans still do. A few patterns among these stereotypes stand out. Muslims are the only group stereotyped as terrorists. When a Muslim American plays into this stereotype, the response can be instantaneous and vicious. Google search data can give us a minute-by-minute peek into such eruptions of hate-fuelled rage. Consider what happened shortly after the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, on 2 December, And this minute-by-minute search data can tell us how difficult it can be to calm this rage.

Four days after the shooting, President Obama gave a prime-time address to the country. He wanted to reassure Americans that the government could both stop terrorism and, perhaps more importantly, quiet this dangerous Islamophobia. Obama appealed to our better angels, speaking of the importance of inclusion and tolerance. The rhetoric was powerful and moving.

Google search data suggests otherwise. Together with Evan Soltas, then at Princeton, I examined the data. In his speech, the president said: President Obama also said: Master No, Masters and Mercenaries, Book 9. My Best Friend's Stepfather 2. My Best Friend's Stepfather 3.

Jul 22, I liked the characters and stories of each book. I have never read of a BDSM book that it seems no one gets naked and no one is doing much in scenes or having sex. Mar 06, Thanks for telling us about the problem. Return to Book Page.
