James Bond's Sex Life By The Numbers − Busy Yet Conventional
With film bloggers and critics going on about how Skyfall is a James Bond movie that depicts 007 as a human being instead of a cartoon character, I want to draw attention to a smart infographic posted by TinyMaster on Visual.ly that compiles some interesting data about where — and how many times — James Bond has hooked up over the 50 years he's been on the big screen.
TinyMaster is the handle of Emma Price, who has designed what she calls a "Nymphographic" that breaks down the settings of Bond's "implied," as she puts it, sex scenes by movie and, at the end, posts a running tally of each type of encounter. (She's left a blank for Skyfall which, presumably, she'll be filling in soon since she's UK-based.)
The fun part is that Bond has gotten busy on a space shuttle, a ferris wheel and an iceberg-shaped submarine, but what I found particularly interesting is that, despite Bond's reputation as a sexual adventurer, 37 of the 75 encounters detailed in Price's Nymphographic (see below) took place in a bed, two happened on the floor, two unfolded in cars and one happened on a couch. That sounds like a typical teenager's sex life — over the course of a handful of months, by the way, not 50 years. Maybe James does need to get his mojo back.

I'm always reminded of the SNL skit where Bond goes to the STD clinic.... and his blood is eating through the beaker. Funny stuff.
Haha yeah, it must since he surely gets his fair share of whoopie. Can't wait to see what type of action Bond gets into later this week.
You forgot "Never Say Never Again" - 1983, starring Sean Connery and Domino Petachi - Kim Basinger (who spend some time together in the shower).
Missing out NSNA defeats the whole point of this. Ten minutes of my life I'll never get back...
How can anybody miss out NSNA on a Bond Girl list??? A fail of epic proportions, I tell ya, EPIC!!!
All "Bond's were good, Horizontally...or Vertically!
You missed one, Never Say Never Again. Barbara Carrera and Kim Basinger you can't forget those two.
'Never Say Never Again' is not considered part of the official Bond canon. So it gets left out of a lot of lists like these.
Not sure why anyone considers NSNA as a real Bond movie. By that standard, you should consider the original Casino Royale one as well. I would have sworn Bong banged Plenty O'Toole in Diamonds Are Forever, but it's been a while since I saw it so I could well be wrong.
No, the set up was good but coitus interruptus by Tiffany Case's (played by Jill St. John) goons made this a wash-out. He did bang the St. John character, in a bed. JadeLaw.
I LOVE THIS !!!
missed caterino murino in casino royale
And what about Xenia Onatopp, (Famke Jannsen) in Goldeneye, in the shower?
you know....this would have been a good SNL SKIT if....when Xenia was introducing herself,
Bond should have asked "Onatopp?"
and she replies, "Onatopp."
and HE replies..."Onatoppa WHAT?"
Onna toppa SPY-GETTY....all covered in.....
Ah well, skip it!
This graphic is humorous. Bond gets down with a black woman and a Eurasian woman in 'Skyfall', which I suppose reflects the effects of globalisation.
Bardem's Silva does tempt Bond, too.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the
video to make your point. You clearly know what youre
talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could
be giving us something informative to read?

general things, The web site style is wonderful,
