The seasonality of horniness

7:08 am Tuesday, 14th January, 2014

A fairly mundane topic, admittedly, but as it's New Year, I've been feeling twitchy and the keyboard beckons....

During the period I've been involved in this internet game of poker/dancing in the dark/blind man's buff malarkey, I've formed an impression that there are certain times of the year when people are more receptive to....er....."proposals" (either decent or indecent), or when they seem to be more actively "looking".

Here in Japan, culturally there's always been a sense of renewal about New Year: you know.....part of the natural cycle of old things dying/being disposed of at the end of the old year, and a genuine sense of purpose and optimism about new avenues/relationships to explore in the new. I'm not just talking about some half-hearted resolution to give up drink murmured to yourself under the pillow when you wake with a monumental hangover: in early January, there really *do* seem to be more new profiles and a renewed sense of purpose here about the mating urge. Something along the lines of making a fresh start with a new FB for 2014. I suppose spring is another obvious time of the year when people's hormones start sloshing around, the weather starts warming up, and people wake from their sexual torpor.

Conversely, at other times of year, people may be less active, or have inactivity thrust upon them: for example for married people with kids, the summer hols offer little opportunity for escape :-) Or perhaps in the depths of winter, people get seasonal affective disorder, or slip into hibernation mode when the mere thought of getting one's drawers off is enough to shrivel one's genitals to the size of a dried damson.

So what are people's impressions of this? Are there any times of the year when you feel super-motivated to look for a shag, or when you really can't be bothered? Do you find some seasons of the year hopeless for trying to get e-mail responses?

No, no........I want *proper* answers, and not responses that are clearly aimed at bolstering one's public image, such as "I walk around with a hard on 365 days of the year". Serious, on-topic responses, if you please :-)

Wot! No image bolstering!! Serious, on-topic responses ... Hmm, where do I start?

I'm not trying to bolster my image when I say that I am indeed always horny and in need of a flippin' good bonk all year round. Aren't most members?

I suppose the peaks and troughs that may exist (not that I've noticed any), could, for some, partly be a result of school holidays and the dreadful inconvenience that our wonderful offspring seem to be during term breaks. It's not as if you can strap them into the back of the car while you go and have a clandestine shag in some local hotel. I think in the interests of national sexual health, we should ban all school holidays; principals and their staff get far too much time off anyway ;-)

In terms of resolutions, the start of a new year is as good a time as any to start any new adventure, even the sexual kind ... Who me?

So do you go on a sex-fast autumn through to spring?

So the data in so far would suggest that Ron and Luv2 are constantly rampant irrespective of season, Curvy is "semi-rampant", taking a sabbatical in December, and that Lilith and 2F2C appear to have seasonal affective disorder :-)

At the present juncture, it's unclear whether or not Luv2's high level of....er....."motivation" is attributable to lack of suitable offers, whereas Ron has indicated that this is definitely the case.

I'm seriously thinking of timing my visits to the UK so that they don't coincide with the long academic hols. I, too, have found that women with kids have a very hard time being available then, and a number of otherwise promising contacts have fallen through for that reason.

"I am indeed always horny and in need of a flippin' good bonk all year round. Aren't most members?"

Well actually no. See my previous blog about "high sex drives". Everything is relative. However, it's probably true that the more one gets, the less obsessive one becomes about trawling this site. To be honest, at the moment I could do with about a fortnight's sleep, but I believe in fulfilling my obligations, and consider it a sort of "investment" for the future (that "sexual capital" thing again......).

Another East-West difference in sexual seasonality is that here in Japan the weather is unbearably hot and humid from end of June till the end of Sept. So hot in fact that all you want to do is lie on the floor and move as little as possible. Therefore, once the cool caress of autumn starts blowing through the insect screens, you find that a lot of sexual motivation has built up in the interim :-)
