Do you use gestures when you desire sex. If so, what are they? (also,check out the video).

Not exactly a gesture, but . . . whine?

Ask Chongo.

Don't ask him for me, you realize. I just think he likely has some ideas on the subject. Although, come to think of it, given his penchant for long-legged blondes, I'm not so sure.

"There was a young lady from Exeter,
Who made all the lads crane their necks at her.
And some grew so brave
As to take out and wave
The distinguishing marks of their sex at her."

Well, you can grab your right index finger in your left fist, and then slide the finger in and out of the fist.

Crude, but unambiguous.

there is a reference book, Gnomefumblers Guide to Sexual Gestures published by Cattermole and Mousehabit in 1969, that might prove useful.

Jack be nimble

I find that waving handfuls of high-denomination banknotes around whilst wandering through Nee Soon, Wanchai, and Danube Street (Edinburgh)produces a fairly unambiguous result, and could indeed be said to be such a gesture ( although I gather Edinburgh is now slightly less "brash" ? ).

Guys, it's real simple. Get a black leather coat...

Seriously, the secret is communication. Women are not all alike, so learning to read their body language is vital.
I could go on, but I'm not going to.

Men's body language is different, though. Soooooo easy to read -- even by a blind bonobo.

Is this guy on to something, or is he from outer spece?

Whad'ya think?

Exerp:
Our primitive emotional brains, which includes both men and women, are hardwired to feel attraction when certain conditions are present. These conditions USED to be (in evolutionary terms) ACCURATE indicators of VALUE, but are NOT necessarily accurate TODAY. In the past, it may have made SENSE to be attracted to a guy who was for example, too busy to spend too much time with her. Or a guy who was not so nice.

TODAY, however, if women's brains had CAUGHT UP with society's progress, women would be ATTRACTED to "nice guys".

Nice guys are GOOD for women.
They are out for the woman's best interests.
They CARE.
They are not selfish.

However, accurate or not, the fact is that our BRAINS, and women's brains, STILL activate the feeling of attraction ONLY when those ANCIENT switches are pressed. And only ONE of those switches has to do with looks.

ALL THE REST DO NOT HAVE TO DO WITH LOOKS.

And once those switches go on, NOTHING ON EARTH can change that feeling unless you activate the switches that command the brain to STOP feeling attraction and to instead feel REVULSION or just as bad, INDIFFERENCE.

And just what are these switches that trigger SEXUAL ATTRACTION?

Well, this is a HUGE answer, but for now, I will tell you what few others have ever been told:

ALL WOMEN'S SEXUAL ATTRACTION BOILS DOWN TO HER DESIRE TO BE WITH A PERSON WHOM SHE DEEMS RADIATES SUPERIOR POWER.

Bringing it onto a (nearly) musical note we used to do actions to 'The Wild Mountain Thyme' at our club. The line 'Will ye go. lassie, go?' was punctuated on the 'go' by the placing of the left hand into the crook of the right elbow and waving the right fist up and down. Know the gesture I mean? You know, the builders one! Anyway - Fell by the wayside now - No longer acceptable:-( Replaced by pointing away at the 'go' instead. Oddly enough 'lassie' being mimed by tracing a figure 8 figure with the hands is still OK! And I'll not tell you what was done with 'If your true love she won't come...'

Cheers

I dunno where he's from, but he sure lives in lah-lah land!

ALL WOMEN'S SEXUAL ATTRACTION BOILS DOWN TO HER DESIRE TO BE WITH A PERSON WHOM SHE DEEMS RADIATES SUPERIOR POWER.

??!!??? ..... dream on ....

So what are the CUES that a woman's brain registers as you being SUPERIOR?

Let me give you just a few right here:
-Not having too much time to talk
-Not being serious about relationships
-Having a confident style of humor
-Not buying her fancy dinners and gifts
-Never seeking her approval
-Not being "judgmental" about her lifestyle.

You see, a woman interprets a guy who actually HAS made a lot of time available for her as a desperate guy.

She thinks that a guy who seems very serious about relationships as a guy who probably can't get one.

A guy who buys dinners? Well, that's just a guy who thinks that maybe DINNER will get him laid. That can come off as not only desperate, but CREEPY....

Yes to the confidence, humour and being non-judgemental, but the rest makes no sense at all. Making time to talk and listen, taking the relationship seriously, giving me nice things, taking me out and feeding me, wanting or at least being interested in winning my approval -- all these things make men attractive, to me. THe powerful, superior ones can all go take a powerful, superior hike.

Around powerful Lake Superior.

Are you sure you mean "around" and not "in" Lake Superior?

I'll take *daylia*'s word for it that she is attracted to individual men ONLY on a perfectly sane, sound and reasonable basis. There are many of us who have developed healthy psyches and who are able to make personal choices for only the best of reasons.

But I believe that the article is on to something ~ all my life, I have observed many people, male as well as female, who choose the worst possible individuals as their mates, and I have long believed that built-in unconscious attitudes, resulting from eons of human evolution, are the reason.

The sad fact is that the biological evolution of our bodies ~ including our brains ~ has been progressing much more slowly that the evolution of our societies and of our thinking.

The article addresses built-in, unconscious factors ~ it is not placing blame on individuals, or on women as a group. It is unfortunate that the writer takes a sexist slant and fails to discuss the parallel problems involved in men's unconscious reasons for being attracted to particular types of women.

Men can't help being attracted to women who give off visual and other clues that they are well-suited for childbearing ~ hence the undeniable allure of youth and of prominent "secondary sex characteristics" (i.e., tits and ass). Just as women can't help but be attracted to men who emit signals that they are capable of being powerful and protective in a primitive environment (i.e, physically imposing and quicker to act than to think).

The question for all of us is whether we have enough insight, self-regard, and self-control to make serious choices based primarily on additional considerations, and not ONLY in response to the impulses of our reptile brains.

For a clear example of reptile brain mating decisions, some of the talk-entertainment TV shows (Dr Phil, Maury, Judge shows, and of course Jerry Springer) shows these in the raw. If it was just TV entertainement, I could understand it. But, I have seemn many of these decisions in reality
