Female Sexual Desire

Looking for the old results?

This unscientific poll was created in hopes of gaining a better understanding of female sexual desire; perhaps the least understood aspect of female sexuality. This poll serves more of an entertainment purpose rather than providing an accurate representation of the experience of desire for an individual woman, or women in general. It only represents the experiences of the women who participate in the poll, not a member of the general population. The greater the number of women who participate, the more accurate it becomes, but is limited by the fact that only women with access to it can participate, and further by the number of women who are willing to participate. There are some background questions to determine the demographics of those who participate, as female sexuality varies not only from individual to individual but also from continent to continent. The results cannot be verified.

This poll was created by The-Clitoris.com.
