I'd bet that box of yours is going to be strongly oriented toward one very, very specific type of action and appearance. Porn shoppers are like that (or so I've been told). With even a few binary categories I bet you'd need at least a couple, three dozen boxes to get anything statistically meaningful.

Well it's not so much degrading as it speaks of a gender difference. You can't actually _see_ the woman come, you kind of have to take her word for it (and this is cinema after all), but it's possible that you can really see the man genuinely come. And the industry insists that every time that happens you must, so them long-suffering male sex workers always, always, always have to pull out. Fortunately for my hard-pressed vanity, I just can't be jealous of a guy who always has to pull out.
