Interesting article on female lust in the NYT

[Ms Naughty]

I'm really tired of media organisations using the phrase "What do women want?" like it's some huge mystery, like all women want the same thing. They never ask "What do men want?"

The "stranger in the alley" fantasy is nothing new. Nancy Friday discovered the prevalence of rape fantasies in My Secret Garden in the mid 70s. And it shouldn't be a surprise that women's masturbatory fantasies are narcisisstic. Same as men, yes?

Depends a bit on how you define narcisissim.

My fantasies revolve around what's happening to her, not what's happening to me - possibly the reverse of narcississm?

I agree the essential themes suggested here are old news, in terms of their being introduced to pop culture - I also of course immediately thought of the Friday book, as well as the sperm competition theories that have become popular in the last decade or so. The new aspects of this is the more rigourous testing and experimentation that is supporting these newly restated positions and models.

Hmmm, shouldn't make assumptions, should I? LOL I haven't read the whole article yet, so I'll hold off further comment.
