A former SO once told me that she fantasized about seducing likely males quite often, and only *very* rarely fantasized about being seduced by them. Conversations (based on a sample size that wouldn't tax two hands to count) with other women appear to bear this out, on first impression. Furthermore, conversations with men (based on even smaller sample sizes) seem to bear out their fantasizing about being seduced, rather than doing the seducing. If this is borne out in general (biiiig stretch), does this mean that the socially acceptable men-do-the-asking-and-women-do-the-answering is not only not the only way things can happen, but actually less preferable than the reverse? Are the mating games among humans screwed up at so basic a level? Before we get into either a sociological discussion or a Hite Report on Netlander Sexuality, I should mention that these are based on small samples, and could be the work of random chaos. On the other hand, maybe... From a box of cereal:-) Vitamin B-13 (Hug) -* * contains less than 2% of the US RDA of this nutrient.
