“We spent six years of research on why women have sex,”
They compiled 237 reasons. Duty sex. Revenge sex. Pity sex. Bored sex, engaged in because women simply had nothing better to do. “Of the 237 reasons why women have sex,” Meston says, “not one was looking at a man’s genitals.”

Just FYI..... I guess.......

4. "nothing better to do"
You have to admit, that's a pretty compelling reason. I bet most folks would put having sex in the top 20 "things you can do" generally, and if the power goes out, I think it hops into the top 5.

9. they didn't ask me! .......
I hate these "studies" that work to make women sound totally sexless.

Trust me, I have lots of girlfriends that like seeing naked men - do you know how many of us watched "Spartacus" on the Starz channel????
Hint: it wasn't for the battle scenes!

22. NOT ON LIST? "I'm normal, and I enjoy intimacy
Edited on Thu Jun-02-11 07:26 PM by SpiralHawk
(...and good hot sex)."

If that ain't on the list, then I would bet a sack of strawberry flavored condoms they only interviewed Republicon women.

24. Hey DUers, read the whole article, which is great. The OP doesn't do it justice, IMHO.
Edited on Thu Jun-02-11 07:55 PM by spooky3
Her point is that men who send photos of their genitals to women, thinking it's a turn on (if you've ever watched MSNBC's Predator shows), are wrong in most cases. The women quoted in the story said they'd be more turned on of photos of men taking out the trash, making the bed, cooking, etc. And I think the whole intent was to get a laugh--not to make some deep psychological point.

The last pghs. of the story:

"Her friend Sara Monsef has a different dream. 'I would like to see a photo of a man who has organized his books alphabetically and by genre,' she says.

Now that is kinky."

hahahaha!!!!!
