Women may not know when aroused?
When it comes to syncing the mind and body in matters of sexual arousal - according to a research review published online in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior in Jan 4 - women are less in sync than men.
This group of researchers wanted to access the connection between subjective experiences of sexual arousal and physiological genital responses. They reviewed more than 2,500 women and 1,900 men.

According to Meredith Chivers, a psychology professor at Queen's University in Canada. Chivers and colleagues men’s subjective ratings mirrored their body’s level of sexual arousal 66% of the time while in the case of women, mind and body were in agreement 26% of the time.
"For men, their experience is strongly related to physiological arousal whereas for women it is less so," Chivers said. "The general pattern that I have seen in my laboratory is that women experience a genital response but do not report feeling sexually aroused."
Does this mean some women have orgasms and they just have no clue? Hmmmmm.... May be we don't need the endless foreplay then ;-)

maxhnb says:Posted: 24 Feb 10When i read this topic I had to read it a few times. You might not no you are hungry but if you are a woman you sure as hell know something is going on. Could be one us brothers can believe we cant drive you out of yo mind with arousal. But listen jai127 and petitensweet, if you'd like some reinforcement on that agreement I am a candidate. Will bring that heat as I rule da world. Oh an I will give tutoring on arousal awareness, it might be a good course.

I think women know when they are aroused but dont respond to it not because they dont enjoy sex, but because they know they can become emotionally involved with someone who is potentially just treating sex like a sport. Ive found that when a woman is aroused she knows it, and either choses to respond or not. Most guys just respond to it, but I am more deliberate. If I dont want to get close on all levels I wont start with sex.

If your lover is a white guy, more than likely you'll know that you're aroused, because white guys are the best in bed and in every other area. They are mature, masculine leaders of society.

Well you know what the other studies say - men think about sex every 7 seconds, women more like every month. If that's the case it only goes to figure why men are more apt to be sexually aroused by just about anything - and considering they can't hide their arousal very well - I guess that would make them more aware.

lizzy2005 says:Posted: 26 Jan 10Like this is something bout guys we didn't know lol! How often have us ladies heard the excuse from a boyfriend if he has strayed, which goes along the lines. 'I couldn't help myself. It was just sex'. Women can have experiences and resulting sexual feelings without always acting upon them

Coaching Testimonial
"My online love inspiration angel"
Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21
To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.
I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.
BOY WAS I WRONG!!
I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).
She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.
She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".
