Hi, I believe social mores play a much bigger part in our daily activities and day dreams than in night dreams. To a great extent though I believe dreams are nothing more than dreams. For example, while they may indicate anxiety, they may not indicate anything at all. For women female/female physical intimacy is more acceptable than for men and male/male intimacy. There is always a sensual or erotic aspect to intimacy. There is also a very large gray area when it comes to what is simply physical intimacy and sensual or erotic touch. Women like to hug and be close. I believe sex play among young girls is common but the older they become the more that adhere to social mores and "grow out of it." They may experiment in high school and college but get serious after, perhaps dumping their female partner in the process. Women are attracted to other women, or at least to women who they want to look or be like. This is why they use half naked women, cleavage,& on the front cover of "women's" magazines. We idolize the female figure so I think it only natural that perhaps women are more attracted to the female body that the male body. In The-Clitoris.com surveys women state a fraction more have been sexually aroused looking at nude photos of women than men. One would expect perhaps that nude men would be more arousing for them, and perhaps that is the expectation that adds to the confusion. 70% of women report thinking about, imagining, or fantasizing about sex with women, 90% men. According to the surveys& 35% are bisexual or bi-curious and 5% are lesbian. So 30% of heterosexual women have thought about sex with women? Accepted sexual orientation seems to have little influence on what is erotic for women. Sexual orientation is a scientific term initially used to measure sexuality that developed social, and political,& significance, which didn't exist prior, or so I read somewhere. I believe also many women have trouble understanding and accepting their sexual desire, as society seldom acknowledges it. They perhaps try to desire that which they are expected to, not what they really do, as that requires some degree of selfishness. It should be noted studies have found a low correlation to what women say is sexually arousing for them and what actually is, when they are shown different types of videos. Now men have a six inch erection that is hard to overlook, but is female arousal harder to detect? The surveys indicate women have strong indicators of when they are aroused, lubrication, heat, swelling, and pulsing, so why the low correlation? Is it a matter of perceiving that you are aroused, that is is acceptable to be? Or does female arousal occur more slowly and that is why? Vaginal lubrication reportedly occurs within 30 seconds of exposure to erotic material. Some things to ponder :) Brad
