    To keep my boyfriend without it he would find a new girlfriend and that wouldn't work for me.

    I find nothing cures boredom faster... or better than sex!! LOLOL So quite often I do it when I'm bored and have nothing better to do... but mostly it's to get close to my man... to "connect" with him!! and I enjoy it, of course!! (That's the top reason for me.. to connect! Boredom is #2!!)

    "In my own rhythm" In my twentys through mid thirtys, SEX was called upon to fill certain NON-related voids; it brought dark- sought after attention. Forties, brings moon-lit clarity: No longer in fear of fallen in love. I now connect sexually to affirm, extend, express and re-define my own love-force. Finding admiration, love amd respect for ones-own-self heals and weaves two souls into one (soul-mates). Now having faith-in-love, causes me to surrender to the possibility of a never ending love story. Submission to wholeness, is my own rhythm. Trusting Love is my calling. Ms.A

    Did you all actually read the topic or just the title? No offense meant, but if you only read the title, go back and give the topic a read. It may give you more to talk about.

    I can see where the study would help with younger people and it's true that knowing their patterns is key. I remember that "urgency" I had in my teens and 20s, when our hormones make it almost impossible to resist!! As you get older, you use your brain more... and become much more selective!!! (but at my present age, I'm getting that "very same" urgency back... only with my brain engaged... so that is good!! LOL
