"And with the women, especially the straight women, mind and genitals seemed scarcely to belong to the same person."

just as long as the genitals don't go wandering around w/o the rest of them...

If I had a "little plastic probe that sits in the vagina and, by bouncing light off the vaginal walls, measures genital blood flow," I'd be horny all the time, too.

i don't understand why the fact that women are horny still warrants reams of articles. last time i checked, women were still human. correct me if i'm wrong, but we are one of the few species capable and interested in having sex all year long, which helps to explain to our current population problems. it's one of the things that gave us an evolutionary leg up.

also, i suspect most men's arousal is a little more complex than simply 'see nekkid wimmins (or mens), sport wood'. we still don't live in a society where a straight man can openly admit to a varied and intriguing sexual life/imagination.

An arousing young gal is the bonobo

She's a sex symbol just like Madonna, though

If you're near the equator

Take good care not to date 'er

'Cause you'll find that she's just a savanna 'ho

@TedSez: By the way, that's based on these quotes from the article:

"[The human-sexuality researcher] found footage of bonobos, a species of ape, as they mated.... [Women's] blood flow rose quickly -- and markedly, though to a lesser degree than during all the human scenes except the footage of the ambling, strapping man -- as they watched the apes."

Otherwise it just sounds crazy. Okay, it still sounds crazy.

I love that term "strong and swift genital arousal", because it implies the existence of "weak and slow genital arousal" ... which just seems downright bizarre to me

@JacquesPaysan: Thanks for saying so. It's like this big secret. In real life, men have small dicks and back hair. Obnoxious back hair, and lots of it and I am totally flummoxed as to why I should put up with it.

Maybe one reason is I like my men with hair? I just do. Chest hair, anywhere hair. I like it, and it smells good, like a dude should.

I'm just not into men who have waxed. Maybe it goes back to the NYT article, that the female wants to be desired. When a male is doing the mating dance around me, it is a no-no when the guy is more waxed or toned than I am.
