Secret World of Women


DocAnnie alerted us to Dr Marta Meana's appearance on Oprah talking about her research. [link] Dr Meana's studies of women and desire led The Oprah to her and resulting fame. I have pulled a few quotes from the article. They need no help from me.

~

Being desired is the real orgasm...

~

...while moments of pleasure are great, it's the anticipation and buildup to those moments that really excite women.

~

...being desired means that a man doesn't just want to have sex. He wants to have sex with you.

~

One of the most common fantasies when it comes to women and sex is to be dominated by a desirable man...They throw caution to the wind, and they're going to take a chance that you're going to be okay with it...

~

Passion is dependent on novelty, discovery, desire...

~

One of the most complicated aspects of female desire, Dr. Meana says, is that women often want different things at different times...

There is an additional article here about the science of attraction. It confirms much of what many of us have come to understand, that smell is way more important than we have thought to date. [link]

I always knew the smell was the most important when it came to assessing atractiveness. I couldn't prove it though :-) glad there's been a research done.

Something you felt in your solar plexus, BbG. Wordless knowing. Or smelling, as the case may be.

Yeah, being wanted/desired, made to feel special or cherished would do it for me.

See, now I think this is the kind of information we need to talk about more Nitebyrd. Guys need to know. Why don't guys know? Is it because only now are we putting words and concepts to feelings?

I found both the articles fascinating.
