It depends, sometimes I don't think about sex that often, but lately I've been feeling kinda horny, so it's several times a day.

Tuomas, Sunday, 21 September 2008 08:17 (sixteen years ago)

lately I've been feeling kinda horny

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I Love TMI is underway.

?????? (unregistered), Sunday, 21 September 2008 08:29 (sixteen years ago)

Damn, I forgot an option, so I'm going to have to go with "other" in mine own poll. -(

My thinking about sex is totally seasonal. For much of the year I wander round in an oblivious daze, then come autumn, suddenly the hormones surge and it's all ARGH SEXXYY SEX SEX SEXXXXX taking over my BRANE.

Though, actually, I suppose that counts as situational. I guess.

The Accountant Of Taste (Masonic Boom), Sunday, 21 September 2008 17:37 (sixteen years ago)

What kinds of thoughts comprise "thinking about sex" anyways? Fantasies of having sex with a particular person? Desire to masturbate? A vague stirring when confronted with an attractive person?

Traycer Hand (libcrypt), Sunday, 21 September 2008 18:20 (sixteen years ago)

^^^ this

because there's thinking-pleasant-thoughts about having sex, and then there's i-want-sex-now thoughts.

your ass is (Rubyredd), Sunday, 21 September 2008 18:23 (sixteen years ago)

Sometimes you might see a nice body part that you desire to squeeze, say, but it doesn't get any more explicit than that. Is that a thought about sex?

Traycer Hand (libcrypt), Sunday, 21 September 2008 18:25 (sixteen years ago)

hourly is probably the most accurate tbh, especially with not seeing gf for over a month now

altho when i'm with her this kinda rises to "more than once every 15 minutes" so hey what do i know

J4gger Dynamic Pentangle (Just got offed), Sunday, 21 September 2008 18:27 (sixteen years ago)

Define "thinking about sex" however you like.

In fact, it might be interesting to see how different people think about sex - is it just a very much physical sensation of horniness, or is it a more specific fantasy?

I think, for me, it's more like, specific stimulus of specific person (or type of person) - could be a random bloke on the tube, could be image of some pop star, but it's very much, like, fantasy of sex with this person, how could it come about?

But the autumnal thing is much more like... sudden awareness that every single man around me has a penis Not even specifically wanting to have sex with them, but suddenly, like, wow - sex exists, all around me, more a kind of curiosity.

I'd say, yes, responding to visual stimulus of nice part of body you'd like to give a squeeze, (and not in an ooh, you're my buddy way) that's definitely a sexual thought, so count it.

WTF to that? (Sorry, I wasn't going to go opening jpgs on this board at work)

Man, I need to take me a bromide or something. Today I found myself lusting after some little teenage nu rave boy bouncing down Euston Rd. Probably wasn't even legal. Shoot me! Make it all go away.

The Accountant Of Taste (Masonic Boom), Monday, 22 September 2008 19:57 (sixteen years ago)

what is legal in the UK?

Bright Future (sunny successor), Monday, 22 September 2008 20:39 (sixteen years ago)

17, I think. I'd have to ask Ampy on that one, heh heh.

OK, we are going to have to change the subject now coz of Tuomas' rules. Young boys really are out of discussion bounds.

The Accountant Of Taste (Masonic Boom), Monday, 22 September 2008 20:42 (sixteen years ago)

16!

But the real rule is half age + 7

J4gger Dynamic Pentangle (Just got offed), Monday, 22 September 2008 20:44 (sixteen years ago)

16? Really?

NO!!! I am just so not going to go there.

The Accountant Of Taste (Masonic Boom), Monday, 22 September 2008 20:45 (sixteen years ago)

17? As far as I'm concerned can discuss that all you want. It's legal loads of civilized places!

Also, we don't know how old JGO was. Coulda been 16 himself.

J4gger Dynamic Pentangle (Just got offed), Monday, 22 September 2008 20:54 (sixteen years ago)

so that means 14 right? (xxxp)

in australia, well NSW, i THINK its 14 for boys, 15 for girls and 18 for boys who like boys. its still weirds me out when someone talks about the statutory rape of a 16 y/o over here. everyone i knew lost their virginity by 13 (err..not me <---loser)

Bright Future (sunny successor), Monday, 22 September 2008 20:55 (sixteen years ago)

where is the option never ever? not for me but for all the saints reading ilx.

alex in mainhattan, Monday, 22 September 2008 20:59 (sixteen years ago)

my fault

alex in mainhattan, Monday, 22 September 2008 21:00 (sixteen years ago)

OK, if we're doing TMI, we're really doing TMI.

I'd never never NEVER act on it. Again. (OOPS!)

But I do find myself sexually... aroused. I wouldn't say attracted, but aroused yeah. By underage boys. Not children, certainly not. But that kind of Germaine Greer's The Boy age. Let's not go any further.

no, i am logging out for this one, Monday, 22 September 2008 21:00 (sixteen years ago)

but that is prime zing fodder and we all know who you are :(

can ILTMI withstand the pressures of being on ILX and blossom into a no-holds-barred love-is-all tolerance fest?

J4gger Dynamic Pentangle (Just got offed), Monday, 22 September 2008 21:02 (sixteen years ago)

Magic 8-ball says... UNLIKELY.

seriously this logged isnt working too well. its like those anonymous peer reviews you get at work and you know who those fuckers are.

Bright Future (sunny successor), Monday, 22 September 2008 22:27 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, I know it's obvious enough to regulars to tell who it is, but if I log out it's coz I don't want my name on a post for varied reasons - some because of quasi-legality, some for zingfear... but seriously, if I let zingfear control my posting, I'd have left ILX back in the JW days.

The Accountant Of Taste (Masonic Boom), Tuesday, 23 September 2008 07:59 (sixteen years ago)

board should probably be made invite only, with mods deciding who to invite obviously; only way to really ensure that it remain a zing-free zone, I think (and that everyone's privacy is protected, natch).

Perry-Como-Zombie-Memorial-Radio-Now! (Ioannis), Tuesday, 23 September 2008 08:05 (sixteen years ago)

it seems to be working well so far. I'm glad ppl have been respectful of ILTMI's personal space.

Put big bows (or small) In you hair. (Curt1s Stephens), Tuesday, 23 September 2008 08:08 (sixteen years ago)

(I mean w/o making it invite-only)

Put big bows (or small) In you hair. (Curt1s Stephens), Tuesday, 23 September 2008 08:08 (sixteen years ago)

Nah, previous experience has shown invite only may reduce overt zingage, but stiffles free discourse, exacerbates hivemind groupthink and generally just makes for a stulfifying and not really particularly interesting atmosphere.

Huh? I thought it was 16 all across the board in every state (except in Tasmania where they make gay boys wait until 17).

And kids start drinking at 13 anyway.

Yes, but at what age does one start thinking about sex? ha ha.

I think I may have started about 10 or 11.

in case of Masonic Attack (Masonic Boom), Wednesday, 24 September 2008 09:16 (sixteen years ago)

10 or 11?? i remember giggling in sex ed at 8 y/o

I started being attracted to boys at exactly 12. But I was always thinking baout sex and stuff. I had orgasms from like age 5.

I know that's weird or whatever, but I didn't even realize it was weird until I was like 20 and everyone was all "when'd you start jerkin it, oh 13, yeah me too" or whatever and I was like o_O.

○◙i shine cuz i genital grind◙○ (roxymuzak), Thursday, 25 September 2008 02:16 (sixteen years ago)

I came by it innocently. Just figured shit out early, I guess.

ilx: a miracle i helped create (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 25 September 2008 02:18 (sixteen years ago)

No, I figured out how to make the big O very very early on - like, 3 or 4. It's structurally... different for girls. I just never connected that feeling with sex until 10 or 11.

hard, ginger, nuts (Masonic Boom), Thursday, 25 September 2008 09:14 (sixteen years ago)

I remember it was mentioned on some other thread that even babies can have an orgasm.

The first one I had that I can remember of was when I was about 11.

Tuomas, Thursday, 25 September 2008 09:42 (sixteen years ago)

But yeah, I guess it's different for girls, since boys' testicles only start producing semen at puberty, whereas the female orgasm is not directly linked to reproduction.

Tuomas, Thursday, 25 September 2008 09:45 (sixteen years ago)

really?

Bright Future (sunny successor), Thursday, 25 September 2008 17:35 (sixteen years ago)

If this thread starts to be about masturbating in front of babies, I'm going to have to kick some arse!

hard, ginger, nuts (Masonic Boom), Friday, 26 September 2008 09:40 (sixteen years ago)

I didn't have a wank until I was 14! I think I was about 11 or 12 when I started being attracted to girls/thinking about sex.

in australia, well NSW, i THINK its 14 for boys, 15 for girls and 18 for boys who like boys.

It's 16 for boys and girls together, has been for a zillion years. There's no age of consent at all for girls and girls, slumber parties ahoy. Boys and boys was 18 from 1984 til 2003, dropped to 16 now. IIRC 18-and-up on a 16-17-yr-old counts as statch.

john della boscaoila (sic), Saturday, 27 September 2008 10:36 (sixteen years ago)

okay yeah that 16 happened in like 2003. i was 15 in 1987. unfortunately it might as well have been 2003.

Funny how all of the states legalized homosexuality in the mid 70s except for tasmania who went for 1997 instead.

Bright Future (sunny successor), Saturday, 27 September 2008 14:14 (sixteen years ago)

I think about food more than sex but my mind is blank more often than the total amt of time I spend thinking about either.

Abbott, Sunday, 28 September 2008 01:56 (sixteen years ago)

Having just spent several days hanging out with two vanloads of DDBs, I've been thinking about sex rather a lot lately.
