I disagree with the whole sex angle, because if he's in the middle of getting some, why would he 'need a mercy fuck?' If her "knees thrust in one direction" her legs are together. i think they are sitting together, possibly in a coffee shop (?), and she is turned away from him, making him feel that he is the 'less than' in the equation. That would make her the 1 in 5. He's being rejected, 'crowded OUT,' and is considering his 'luck'

@~Doyle And here I thought it was 'quantify my love gun in a mercy fuck'. Which does make sense.

@~Doyle i fully agree
