    For those of you who don't like to read, I will summarize the article at the bottom of each quote in BOLD. Heh, what a contradiction.

    This phrase just popped into my mind at some point, and I felt the need to google it. An interesting analysis by this website which lists several references is quite a good read. I will quote the most interesting bits of information, as well as the introduction and conclusion in this thread; enjoy:smoke::

    The underlying message in the introduction is that studying the frequency of sexual encounters would not give a credible idea on the issue, rather, the conductors of this study found that...

    ...studying sexual emotions and their intensity would paint a better picture of a societal label we so often slap on other people: Slut, whore, skank etc. as compared to the other crowd of people, the sexually inactive. In some religions, the latter seems to be an honorable choice, though, as we've seen with the Roman Catholic priests...

    ...this foolish form of abstinence, coupled with an individual who has a mental chemical composition that makes it impossible to follow through such a goal has a mental relapse, which as we have all seen in the news or on television, has unintended concequences...

    ...that could hurt the abstainee or some other person(s). With an outdated set of morals, principals, or just bad self esteem, it is undeniable that...

    ...the frequent or non-frequent urge for sex is determined genetically through birth, not a set of rules or social taboo you live by. The sexual balance has two sides and a middle to the spectrum, which the three mental characterists are worded...

    ...hyposexuality (Bill 'O Reilly), hypersexuality (the Palin's), and normal (you). So when you're not getting that love you want...

    ...it's because your partner doesn't feel the need as often as you do. The latter is said bitches that try to impose sanctions on your cock. Conversely, the opposite could be said that...

    ...the hypersexual just comes off as plain annoying to the hypo, and maybe just a freak to the normal guy. With this information, it should be logical to say...

    ...if you're having a tough sex life: both you and your partner are wrong and not sexually compatible. Now that we understand that "horniness" is a mental state of mind, it is possible that mental disorders and handicaps can seriously short your annual load...

    ...by conflicting with the mental state of "horniness." Religious people tend to play a favorable role in the pool of hyposexuality. This is simply suggesting that religion...

    ...might actually be a mental disorder! Hahahah, some religious people are kinda nutty, like my mother for instance. This brings us to the conclusion of beginning part of the analysis.

    Yep, I knew it.
