Study on Women's Brains

[steelish]

Men's bodies corresponded exactly to what they reported.

Women, on the other hand, tested very differently. They showed at least some arousal to every video. AND their self-reporting of desire often did not match the bodily response of sexual stimulation.

So, what do we learn? That women want to fuck monkeys? (maybe) But it really suggests two things: 1. that women are not in touch with their bodies, and 2. that for women, desire is as mental as it is physical (if not more). Foreplay, for women, is the 24 hours before sex

I wonder what the rest of you think of this study, and the suggested conclusions? I feel like the emphatically psychological nature of D/s is what draws me to it. I do want to be clear that I don't understand 1 to mean that the "psychological" desire to be any less legitimate than a "physical" response.

My theory is that women do not always FEEL desire even though their bodies might respond with that of sexual stimulation. Just because a woman's vagina gets moist doesn't always mean she is turned on mentally or emotionally. On the flip side, if a woman is mentally and/or emotionally aroused, I can GUARANTEE YOU that her vagina will be moist and ready to go! The mind and the body need to work together for women. For men I really don't think their head has to be in it. Well, at least not the one at the top of their necks!

Just my two cents worth...
