Dear Friend and Reader:<\/p>\n
Yesterday, the Sunday Times Magazine<\/em> published an article by Daniel Bergner <\/strong><\/a>that explores the work of Canadian sex researcher Meredith Chivers. Dr. Chivers has conducted research that explores the differences between what people think turns them on sexually, and what actually turns them on. She did this by placing probes on or in the genitals to observe sexual excitement (an objective measure) and by providing a keypad to rate what turned the subjects on. Then a diversity of erotic scenes were played on a monitor — apes having sex, women together, men together, men and women together, and so on. What she discovered is that men pretty much know what tuns them on. Women think very little turns them on, when in fact nearly everything<\/em> does. I think this study has profound implications on how men and women relate, and also how women tend to relate to the world: if Dr. Chivers is right, with an enormous gap between what they think they want and what they actually want.<\/span><\/p>\n Please take a look at the article<\/strong><\/a>.
