got one that says she wants it bigger! Turns out they meant my bank account.
On the off-chance… anyone opened the email that says in the title line:
Fall in love with a Latina…*
- because I’d love to know why the asterisk, but I’m not going to be the one to open the mail.

I’ve never received any, but I doubt it has anything to do with my gender. The fact is that I have never searched “Viagra” or purchased products like Viagra. I’ve found that, after I’ve purchased something on line, I am targeted by ads about the same thing or products that are closely related to it.
I received an ad for a shirt with my high school alma mater on it. I was mystified until I remembered that, in my Facebook profile, I listed the name of my high school.
What you’ve searched for will affect what targeted ads you see. Spam is, by definition, not targeted. Most people have never searched for or purchased Viagra. If you’ve never gotten any Viagra spam, it means that either you’re really good at keeping your e-mail address private, such that no spammers have ever gotten it, or that your ISP is sufficiently good at filtering spam that none of it has ever reached you.
Indeed, that’s the function of this very thread, in which people highly unlikely to have ever been interested in various products get spam for them anyway.
Actually, I’m not currently getting much of that: 99% of my spam these days seems to be of the “Urgent failed delivery” sort claiming to be from various social network, parcel shipment, government sites, etc. I get maybe a hundred of these a day (I have an e-mail address that I’ve been using for a couple decades), but the local spam filter is catching it all.
