Searching for Sex

Via Andrew Sullivan:

Google has a new feature called Google Trends. It tracks the number of searches for various topics online, and also gives you some regional analysis of where those searches are taking place.... Who's looking for "sex" the most? The countries with the most searches for that word is — surprise! — Pakistan, followed by Egypt, Iran, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Hmmm. It couldn't have anything to do with all that Muslim repression, could it? Arabic is the most popular language for "sex" searches. Islamism, like Christianism, doesn't conquer sex; it just fetishizes it and forces it underground.

Encore:

Type the word "sexe" [in French] into Google Trends and the first two countries are Algeria and Morocco.
