'Desire to sext naked pictures is hard-wired into human brains': Feeling wanted is especially important to women
Sexual display common among other apes
'Being desired is very arousing to women' says psychologist
47% of women have fantasised about stripping or being a pole dancer

It has become a favourite celebrity pastime, with everyone from Scarlett Johansson to Vanessa Hudgens having being caught in the act.
Now, however, scientists say our willingness to share naked picture of ourselves with others might actually not be our fault - it could be hardwired into our brain.
'Being desired is very arousing to women,’ claims clinical psychologist Marta Meana, president of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research.
‘An increasing body of data is indicating that the way women feel about themselves may be very important to their experience of sexual desire and subjective arousal, possibly even outweighing the impact of their partners’ view of them.’
Recent studies have found that more than half of women’s sexual fantasies reflect the desire to be sexually irresistible to men.
In one recent survey, 47% of women reported the fantasy of seeing themselves as a striptease dancer, harem girl, or other performer.
50% fantasized about delighting more than one man.
Marta Meana of the Department of Psychology, University of Nevada, who analysed the research, admitted more research was needed in the area, claiming scientists need to investigate eroticism.
‘The little data we have indicate that eroticism just will not be told what to do,’ she said. ‘Consequently, research and clinical forays into eroticism may go a long way toward facilitating inclusiveness and considering the diversity and full range of women’s sexual desires.’
The research could explain the recent flood of celebrity picture leaks.
The popularity of smartphones with cameras has meant that over the past two years, more photographs of bare-naked celebrity anatomy have been leaked to the public eye than over the previous two centuries.
The list of those those who have had their saucy snaps revealed includes Scarlett Johansson, Vanessa Hudgens, Congressman Wiener, Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Miley Cyrus, Ron Artest, Charlize Theron, Chris Brown, Bret Favre, Rihanna, Pete Wentz, Ke$ha, and dozens more.
Many have even defended their actions.
‘Look I’m human, & just like every girl in this world, I admire my body so i take pics,’ wrote singer Teyana Taylor after her graphic self-portraits were leaked.
Websites showing amateur self portraits have also become a huge success around the world, many using pictures taken from Facebook and other social networking sites.
The behaviour also appears in men, and some researchers believe they may have inherited the urges from primate ancestors.
Male monkeys and apes routinely display their penises to females to indicate sexual interest.

I for one am not a primate, monkey ape or whatever. I was made in the image of God and therefore have control over my thoughts and actions. I'm compelled to nudity because that's the way God made me. Call me crazy, but He has been around for quite some time so I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that He is wiser than us all. I want to glorify God with my body but how can people see it if it's covered all the time? |

Yes, they have been doing that for more than a century.

Exposure by celebrities one needs to take with a grain of salt.
Celebrities are known to say and do just about anything to stay in the eye of the public.
I have never taken much stock in the field of Psychology.
I have a hard time accepting that the decision has been made in how we are going to do something verse how we do something being based upon the sum of our experiences.
If we are so hardwired to do things, then every advertising agency should have a staff full of Psychologist to manipulate us into buying the product.

I fail to see how this is a good thing. |

Interesting reading. If male - female sex wasn't largely hardwired I don't think there would be any primates around. The whole world might be occupied by asexual reproducers.
Happy Nuding. |
