Keep 'em on! Canadian survey probes the crucial matter of sock-wearing during sex. "We've discovered that 72% of Canadians don't find socks sexy". But by god we leave our shoes at the door!

31% of Canadians have had sex with their socks on. In fact, Maritimers ... are more likely to do it with their socks still on (the survey found 41%). But Quebec lovers were more particular, and only two in 10 said they had ever kept their woollies on while getting it on. In Ontario, the number was a middle of the road 32% -no word on Croc removal. Meanwhile, a Curmudgeon discovers "Proudly Canadian" socks to be not so much so.

  • Just for the LOVE of GOD make sure you've got the SOCK on the RIGHT PART OF YOUR BODY!
  • Bah. You can't go to bed wearing socks. You wake up with pig's feet. Everybody knows that...
  • This compares to the classic pron cliche of the high heel shoes. Also, if I keep my black socks on I get banished from the bedroom. "Perverted looking."
  • In fact, Maritimers ... are more likely to do it with their socks still on (the survey found 41%). Aye, we're the pinnacle of elegrunts in Nova Scotia! Dammit, will ye no' keep the drapes drawn?
  • Canada: givin'er with socks on since 1867.
  • In other words, 72% of Canadians have no spontaneity in their sex lives whatsoever? I'm taken aback. /lurker poster, rarely this taken aback
  • It's not sexy, no, but sometimes your feet are fucking freezing, man. Re: shoes at the door: I cannae get used to Americans leaving theirs on. Who walks around the house in shoes? I mean, really. It's disgusting.
  • livii you might've missed this thread.
  • what? you mean 28% of Canucks DO find socks sexy???
  • That's why they're lucky green socks. Nuff said.
  • Wah wah wah! /Chachi
  • And to make Aussies feel at home, sheepskin bedsocks.
  • Corgi bedsocks! Only $95.00. Okay, I'll stop now.
  • No mussel shirts, though, bees.
  • Tut, tick, tut! Ye forgot the pit socks. They go sae well with Reekies' bedsocks!
  • I tried socks in my pits, but they wouldn't stay up.
  • Hey successful pit socks are the key to winning the Indy 500, fish tick.
  • We've had this conversation before. Ah, I love cotton socks.
  • Huh. "Foooom!". As opposed to "foop", which is no doubt the sound of your socks being literally sucked off. Oh dear.
  • *blush*
  • I prefer the Non-slip variety, for that extra traction.
  • reinforced knobs in the heavy-pressure area
  • I'm sorry, but "foop" is a trademark of OneSwellFoop NetWorks and is being used here without permission here. May I suggest the alternative sound effect of "fwip". (I gotta finish putting a real site there one of these days.)
  • *foops!*
  • This compares to the classic pron cliche of the high heel shoes. High heels with socks??!? I believe it's only mannerly to have sock sex if both parties keep their socks on. You guys think you're such studs when your girlfriend's toes curl when you're boinkin'. All it means is you just got in a hurry and didn't let her get her pantyhose off. I'm not gonna say one word about red flannel longjohns. MonkeyFilter: I prefer the Non-slip variety, for that extra traction. MonkeyFilter: reinforced knobs in the heavy-pressure area
  • Monkeyfilter: I'm not gonna say one word about red flannel longjohns. sorry, BlueHorse
  • Look ye, tick, wot I found in this Wikipedia article: Truro is home to one of Canada's last remaining successful textile mills ... known throughout Canada for its t-shirts, socks and undergarments. [bolded text is mine] that man's not lived who's not applied their comforts to his chilling hide until he's eyed thrust feet inside Stanfield's Socks from Truro
  • bees, the wonderful things magazine once made a reference to "union suits, an item of underwear apparently unique to the US", a statement for which I took them to task, invoking the Stanfield name (see comments of Thursday, September 29, 2005).
  • Well, now, tick, thanks to you, I've realized we don't hear nearly enough these days o' union suits. Wonder if through some hindsight those Torontonian Sunsaguns researched how many Canadians may have cut capers while clothed in such memorable apparel? Or other, less fun-dim-mentally revealing styles o' longjohns?
  • "There are eight fundamental features of manufacture, which, when properly observed, make a man's union suit fit as though tailored to measure, and more satisfactory from the standpoint of comfort and long service."
  • Fes bait? You huntin' Fes with a poop chute??
  • Mmmmm, there's nothing sexier than a man in a well fitting union suit. (And for that extra bit of sass, have him pose with his finger under his chin, looking over his shoulder, and just ONE button undone in the back. ROWR!
  • BlueHorse, I think you may, just may have wiped out the dual shudder-inducing images of Daddy Walton and Grandpa Walton in their grimy longjohns!
  • "Ladies' bedsocks by Reekies of Grasmere." I'd think a sock company could find a better name than "Reekies".
  • Your Query of 'Auld Reekie' Resulted in 1 Matches From The AND Dictionary Displaying Items 1 through 1 Definitions Auld Reekie noun (Scots) 1. A nickname for Edinburgh. Etymology: Early 19c: Scots, meaning ‘Old Smokie', from the 19c perception of how polluted the air in the city was.
  • I'm the height of nattiness, I ween, encased in a union suit that's clean and I'll punch that fule upon his snoot who fails to covet my union suit
  • Oh, long, Long Johnny, How you get your johns so long? I said, long, Long Johnny, How you get your johns so long? With a Stanfield Union Suit, A man jus' can't go wrong.
  • My thinking exactly, Monster! Now, this woolen number (in natty black) is wool worth every cent. Ye can swear by 'em. (Or at 'em, depending on how sensitive ye bee about wearing wool next to your skin.) ah, it fits me like a second skin but I itch from the instant I step in!
  • 'tis such small comforts make our wintry days complete - let us now praise the one-button flap seat
  • NZ wool?!? For shame.
  • Why not? They grow more sheep.
  • More sheep there are in dear En Zed Must be fifty zillion head Yet wool that's shorn in Nova Skosher Knits hockey tops that ain't quite kosher.
  • o I will wear a mackintosh as o'er these mizzled heights I slosh and I will wear wool socks, for certain and perhaps a Nova Scotian tartan the drizzle falls upon the land or else there's snow on every hand these Scots be mad, their burns be chill the local people read Him still
