Thanks goldenfinger for posting this.

It is a very informative programme chuck full of facts ranging from how men and women lust differently with different behaviours. The experiments about testosterone in men was proving something like the "little head" controlling men...lol I found it interesting that if women were being positively reinforced by flirty complimentary men that makes them more likely to be supportive of strangers to demonstrate their caring traits to attract men. Women act nice to catch a man...lol I found the section on asexuals interesting in that the scientist stated that asexuals are not interested, never have been interested in sex and it doesn't bother them. It supports my understanding but was interesting to see the scientist contexualize it that way. Would the raisin training improve women's liking for sucking dick?..lol The genetic connection to libido is interesting way of explaining why some people enjoy thrill seeking sex.

I like the part where the blokes who were in a 'loving mood' skipped the pic of the pink bikini girl quicker.:bigrin: Much like those on a diet, walking faster past cake shops etc.lol

I love the porno groove.. ;)

"I wonder why people do the (stupid shit) they do?"

..so lets's see - I sold 54 pairs of "unique" sun glasses that all look the same.. <giggles>

OK so after watching the whole thing, I would love to see the scientific results for alternative sexualities... they seem to hint at the fact that physically the body structures all work the same but the question about emotional response would be interesting to know the answer to.

..I'm still not ready to be labeled a genetic "mistake" yet. I wonder if there is an evolutionary advantage to being homosexual? Perhaps if females in the family have more children it is helpful to have more males to take care of them? - pure speculation of course.
