    Default Parents to blame for 'slut gene'

    I found this @ the Telegraph.co.uk today.

    Researchers from the University of Western Australia reportedly claim some of the secrets of attraction appear to be hidden in certain immune system genes inherited from our parents.

    They found that a woman's appearance or sweat contains clues to the genetic make-up of her immune system.

    The scientists, who studied the DNA of almost 150 university students, found that the more varied the genes were the more boyfriends a woman was likely to have.

    The scientists, reporting in the journal Animal Behavior, said they couldn’t be certain why a woman's immune system affected her success with men.

    They were also unclear whether her genes make her irresistible to the opposite sex – or whether she finds them irresistible.

    But it could explain why some women, such as Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston, remain unlucky in love.
    I thought it was kind of funny how the author centered out Jennifer Aniston as remaining 'unlucky in love'.

    It doesn't sound like they've found any link, merely a correlation which could be coincidence and could disappear given a larger sample size.

    Right! And daddy doesn't love me so I became a porn star...!

    A girl in my family recently hit puberty and the hormones have wreaked havoc with her brain. Instead of being preoccupied with her rollerblades she's looking for the most provocative outfits to wear sticking them on.

    So, is it a question of the vagina having domain over the brain or the brain having domain over the vagina. Is mind over matter, or mind subject to matter. Yes there are physiological impulses to procreate but if we acted out purely on impulse there would be orgies in the streets 24/7. Which means, the mind intervenes and it is not the carriage that drives the horse but the horse that drives the carriage.

    Unfortunately, our sexual desires and ambitions drive much of our behaviour and sexual awareness happens at a very young age, especially in women who activate the response in men. It is a very conscious and clever game to hook the mind of another(it has been described to me by a woman as having 'power') but it is a double edged sword as the one who acts out sexual provocation to hook another's mind is constantly hooked by the frequency of their own thought process. Much like a cowboy fallen off their saddle with their foot hooked into the stirrup being dragged along by the horse completely out of control. As always, people blame outside factors such as a video that recently circulated FB blaming mass media for featuring women as sex objects and now this article that blames the parents. Mom, dad and Dan Rather didn't tell Suzy to walk out the door with a mini(than again,some families just might), high heels and her cleavage hanging out. That is a choice little Suzy made.

    When you understand through which point of chakra(sex is the 2nd from the bottom) a person projects you get a good understanding of their motives and behaviour the irony being that a six foot goliath can be governed by the six or so inches dangling between his legs. There is a great saying, if you constantly leak out below, than you will never rise above. Your sexual energy is your creative potential so don't blow it all away!
