So there's this website called fleshmap that has compiled a study of human desire--where we like to touch, where we like to be touched. All of that is rather predictable: penis, vagina, breasts. However, in the sorting out desire function of the touch section it is interesting to compare (clicking back and forth) the touch versus be touched preferences for both men and women. The most interesting material comes in the listen category. One function, musical genres, illustrates the number of references (in specific genres) to body parts; no surprise: genitalia are most often referenced in hip hop. And the body rebus tool highlights all of the references to body parts within a particular text: Prince's "A Million Days"; Whitman's "I Sing the Body Electric." (I don't think it recognizes "manroot.") You can even make your own body rebus, typing or pasting up to 5,000 words.
