...is something that none of us understand. Turns out, scientific types don't know jack either: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/25/magazine/25desire-t.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all. A long winded NYT article by Daniel Bergner examines current testing being done to determine what women want, or more specifically, what turns them on. Go ahead and read the thing--like I said, it's long. If you'd rather skip the typical right coast hand wringing that goes for writing up there, I'll lay it out for you:
They attached some sensor devices to the naughty bits of both male and female subjects and had them lean back in a nice comfy chair and check out some sex videos. Essentially, the instruments measured swelling in the male member and blood flow to the female joy box. Here's what they found out:
1. Homosexual men are aroused by videos depicting male on male coupling. Shocking.
2. Heterosexual men are aroused by videos depicting male and women coupling along with that good ol' hot lesbian sex action stuff (big surprise here).
3. Lesbian women are aroused by videos depicting lesbian coupling, along with the WNBA.
4. Heterosexual women were aroused sometimes by male/female coupling, sometimes by male/male coupling, sometimes by female/female coupling and occasionally even by ape on ape coupling. Yeah, baby. There's apparently no rhyme or reason or any clue as to why.
At the end of the day, they really have no idea what's going through the minds of women, hetero women to be exact, or what the hell they want outside of lots of shoes and nice lunches with friends. Millions have been spent on this, a study that only confirms what pretty much any guy knows. Which is, a big fat WTF?
