not meaningless, just well serviced

You forgot "COWGIRL" (and "reverse cowgirl") as well as "Greek"! At least you could have included an "other" option. Now the poll results will be meaningless.

The software only supports 5 options... Sorry.

as a former survey researcher (among other things), i agree that more questions might have been useful. the trick, though, is to craft a scenario where the available selections make sense:

"honey, you're hard as a stick and i'm ready to come. my thighs are too tired for cowgirl and i don't do greek. how do ya want to finish?"

I'm the culprit who submitted the survey question. I also submitted the one awhile ago about looks v. performance...
In both cases, my questions had to undergo trimming/editing. I was told that the length of the question, length of responses, and number of responses had to be short... so, I had to leave out a few of the positions in this week's question as well as gradients of looks v. performance (1/9, 2/8, 3/7, 4/6, etc) in the previous one.... will try harder to be more comprehensive without being long, next time.

I understand software limitations, that's why I suggested that "Other" be one of the options. As it is, there's no way for my vote to be meaningful, as any option I would vote for would be, at best, my second choice. Therefore, the poll results will be skewed towards the respondants who favor one of the five given choices, and not be a true reflection of the preferences of those who did repond (or might have responded) to the question.

Of course I understand that these polls are "just for fun", but the way many so-called "news" sources often quote such surveys and attempt to pass their results off as ironclad proof of public opinion, you have to be extra careful these days.
