How often do you fantasize about sex? What kinds of fantasies? Of course it comes and goes, but do you feel overall your libido is pretty strong? This article in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/29/magazine/29sex-t.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss talks about "hypoactive sexual disorder" in women, which may soon be listed as an actual disorder, with pharmaceutical companies plans to cash in on it not far behind. It says "women feel plagued by low desire," but admits this is not physical but mental. I wonder if they're representing a woman from a certain kind of context, where her sexuality is repressed by cultural forces and by disconnection with her own body. This may be true of the researchers as well. So, that's the perspective. What do you think of all this? Any thoughts on the article?
i don't buy into the disorder propaganda.. i think that's bullshit. i do believe either hormonal issues or mental issues will effect the libido.. thankfully i don't have this problem, i have the sex drive of a 16 yr old male and it's awesome i think about sex a lot.. sometimes more than other times, based on my hormones i think.. fantasies about men or women i see, fantasies about my past experiences, other stuff..
Thank you guys. I thought as much. Keep them coming! YouFreeMe, the text in that cartoon is so brilliant. Is that Calvin and Hobbes?
some days i go all day without thinking about it, then there are some days when i wont leave my head.
On average, AT LEAST once a day. Usually as I'm relaxing in the evening and getting ready for bed or, strangely enough, during my sociology class.
