Your sexual desire or lack thereof could be in your genes, scientists announced today. The discovery might change how psychologists view sexuality. The researchers found that individual differences in human sexual desire can be attributed to genetic variations. The study is the first to provide data to show that common variations in the sequence of DNA impact on sexual desire, arousal and function, the researchers said. The scientists, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, examined the DNA of 148 healthy male and female university students and compared the results with questionnaires asking for the students' self-descriptions of their sexual desire, arousal and sexual function. They found a correlation between variants in a gene called the D4 receptor and the students' self-reports on sexuality. The results suggest that low sexual desire might be a normal biological condition rather than a psychological problem, the researchers say. Further, it might be possible to develop drugs to alter sexual desire based on the new findings. The research was led by Richard Ebstein and was published in the online version of the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

People are getting too worked up around here. They need to take a break and relax. A sex thread is the perfect thing to do that.

The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, Hmm..all I'll say is my paternal grandmother had 7 children.. my great maternal greatgrandparents had 8..
Uhh.. is 1 the highest or lowest ?? ;)
What are you saying, that you're an 11? ;)
The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, Hmmm...OK.. Now what about the other forum owner...? ;)
The Moving Finger writes; and having writ,
Some are hot---and some are not... The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, All this stuff about sex drive reminds me of an old fellow who has since passed on. He was sort of a Mark Twain type in terms of his witticisms. Even had a handlebar moustache, so he looked the role. But around the time Viagra was brought onto the market in the late 1990s, he lamented, "I would get a prescription for Viagra, but then I would have to look for someone willing to 'Viag.'" Shall we 'Viag' now or 'Viag' later? A little Austin Powers lingo there.
why the tribe is obssessed with sex and its pervertions?
The Spy Who Viag'ed Me The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, Ah well, they infected me with their obsession---maybe others here too... Anyone want to start a forum-wide orgy, just to take the "edge" off...?
The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, Are you ready for AIDS? may be you have already?
may be you have already? Yeah, maybe---c'mere so we can share...
The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, dammit, Peetie! just when this was getting to be a real news and commentary forum......

you better stay away.....if you know whats good for you....
Well, I'm here to prevent that! Sex! Sex! Sex! That's ALL I care about!!! BTW, you were saying your natural sexual desire on a scale of 1 to 10 was....? ;)
The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, the pockets are too low on those jeans...not attractive.
see my post #18.
Hmm.. I have a couple of pair with low pockets like those.. of course not white washed..so last year.. ;)
Yeah? Well, you stay away too. If I asked you to come on this thread, I regret now. Capisci? Here's a little Yiddish for you to savor: "Shtup es in toches."
The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, Oooo, wow! How could I have missed that? A "double double"... ;)
The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, Since the NSA and the shadow government know everything about me, I guess it won't hurt to say 10. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll send a gorgeous babe to take me out instead of a jackboot.
"I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in -- and the West in general -- into an unbearable hell and a choking life." YOOO-LEVEN!! Pay the do's ..take the don't. Winner!!!! shooter is HOT! ;-)
"I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in -- and the West in general -- into an unbearable hell and a choking life." I'd eat the pockets off...
I'd eat the pockets off.. ..that would be one heck of a snack attack! LOL
Can't resist can you? Care to explain your motives or is this just a "forum owner" thing?
The situation is just like rape, if it is inevitable you might just as well "lay back and enjoy it"...
Care to explain your motives or is this just a "forum owner" thing? what? i have no idea what you're talking about. i thought you'd get a kick out of my chastising Peetie. nevermind.
The situation is just like rape, if it is inevitable you might just as well "lay back and enjoy it"... I think I would enjoy being raped by either forum owner---in fact, I'm volunteering.
The Moving Finger writes; and having writ, We don't need no stinking Viagra. A good old shag would do just fine. ;0)

I don't envy you being an owner. Even while trying to have some good natured fun, you get hammered. Will we shoot this YEAR? Cheers - let's try to have a burger, or something, soon.
Oh, well.

Hey it happens!.. the color of the forum background and the color of the PM background is different for that very reason.. Hey count on it.. cya then okay? ;)
Yeah, I'm the fucking villian here, eh? She didn't have to 'ping' me to this goddamned thread but I'm sure "she" thought it to be fun?
The situation is just like rape, if it is inevitable you might just as well "lay back and enjoy it"...
She didn't have to 'ping' me to this goddamned thread but I'm sure "she" thought it to be fun? Not in the least, Brian. She wasn't trying to put you in a bad light, or make you look silly. She's just a tease, exactly like me. Except that she's beautiful and thus should be better able to get away with her teasing....
