From the web :
Yes, someone was paid to do this. Researchers from California State University, Los Angeles have scientifically determined that men think about sex an average of 37 times a week, while women have lustful thoughts an average of nine times a week. That means both men and women let their minds wander afar at least once a day.
The study, conducted by Cal State psychology professor Pamela Regan and psychology graduate student Leah Atkins, surveyed 676 men and women with an average age of 25, asking each about the intensity and frequency with which they experienced sexual desire. "Virtually every participant in this study, male and female, reported having experienced sexual desire, and they did so on a daily basis," Regan explained to HealthDayNews.
Lest you think only men have such thoughts, think again. While 98.8 percent of men did admit to it, 95.9 percent of women did too. Men do have these thoughts four times more frequently than women, a fact that is confirmed by earlier research.
"These differences may reflect socialization processes that differentially influence men's and women's sexual attitudes and behavior," Regan theorized. "Alternatively, they may reflect underlying biological differences between men and women." She suspects that the male hormone testosterone is at work stimulating desire more frequently in men than in women.
Regan told HealthDayNews, that "the experience of desire may be the single most common sexual event in the lives of men and women." The study findings were presented to the American Psychological Society annual meeting in Los Angeles.
So, are you above average or below average????

NaniB,
You go girl! I would be interested in what the thoughts are there. Yes, it is not fair to say that posters on this board is a slice right through every facet of America (or Canada, Eur, Australia for that matter!).

So you and Steve Martin are the only two...both about the same age? Honestly, Rice, I do know of one woman(my neighbor) who just doesn't like sex(and her husband is a sweetheart and a hunk at that). She's the exception. Out of all of the women I have known and know intimately in my life, they all love sex. We always talk about it too. tee hee How could anyone not love sex? It's so.....well....different! ;-) I'm 47 and was brought up in a very liberal atmosphere(well my great aunts and my grandmother tried to shape me sexually, but I persisted. tee hee). Maybe you and Steve just bring a woman's thoughts(non-sexual) into overdrive, and they simply couldn't shut them down long enough to think about sex with you. In other words, maybe you over-stimulated another realm entirely. ;-)

Ok....don't laugh...but did you see "Dirty Dancing?" There's a couple of scenes in the movie where Jennifer Gray gives Patrick Swayze "the look." It's suppose to be a lustful look, but for some reason on her it looks more like she's thinking about lemons. tee hee You couldn't miss it...even my daughters pointed it out to me(yes, we laughed)!
Seriously, though, it's something in the eyes and mouth, so she wasn't too far off. tee hee However, a lustful woman(or man for that matter), shouldn't rely solely on "Hungry Eyes" alone; there comes a time when one has to take it to the next level. Take what you want, don't just wait for it to happen.
