Doing the numbers

Have you spanko's ever had the feeling that you're alone in your feelings or the only one with this kink? If so, then I have good new: a simple exercise in maths is all it takes to end this loneliness!

There's about 6 billion people in the world. In the west, the ratio of men to women is about 48% to 52%, which takes account of wars and other deadly male activities like racing cars, fights in pubs, Sunday league football heart-attacks, etc. In the east, the ratio is reversed due to people's preference for male children. So, lets average everything and call it 50:50 - 3 billion men and 3 billion women.

Of those 3 billion men / women, about 40% will be children and another 10% elderly. So that's 1.5 billion each of men and women left or, to put it another way,1.5 billion couples. Lets assume that 10% of both men and women are spankos, so the number of spanko couples (where both people are spankos) could be 10% * 10% * 1.5 billion = 15 million.

Lets make some more assumptions. First that each of these spanko couples has one spanking per week, that it lasts for 10 minutes and that these couples are evenly distributed around the world (meaning that their 10 minute spanking can happen at anytime of day or night).

So, 1 spanking per week for 10 minutes for 15 million couples works out like this: 1/7 (days) * 10/1440 (minutes) * 15,000,000 (couples) = 14,880 spankings per minute.

So, that means that, for any given minute - day or night - there are about 14,800 spankings in progress, world wide.

Are we still feeling alone?

(Ok, the assumptions may be well out, but its nice to play with the numbers and see what happens! That the kind of thing geeks like me do when they discover they're spankos!)
