AS 2014 WANES and media outlets (us included) attempt to tie the events of the year into a neat little traffic-friendly bundle,I've been coming across a slew of articles engaging in scintillating discourse regarding a 2014 trend that many believe points to an impending sociological sea change in human sexuality.

Check out the bizarre data below, ponder the questions, Just how did they glean their data and, Why doesn't the Great Salt Lake get a vote, and then scroll down for a shameless gallery of the 2014 SI Swimsuit models wearing the trend well.
