Female, B - mainly a case of “If I wasn’t married, I could be interested in pursuing something with him.” There haven’t been that many, and the older I get, the less interested I am in having to train another one… 😃 ---

Male and C. We are all, of course, familiar with [Ladder Theory?](http://www.laddertheory.com/) ---

> [@Least Original User Name Ever](#): > > so…um…how you doin? > > …and…where you workin? Fine, thanks… and in a call center. Call center employees tend to be about evenly distributed between scary lard elementals of either sex and really, REALLY cute young people, also of either sex. I keep my thoughts to myself, though, because very many of these cute young things are way younger than my kids so it’s kinda skeevy to be thinking dirty thoughts about them. They all think I’m this nice, fluffy, soccer mom type who hasn’t had or thought about sex since the Reagan era–I tend not to go out of my way to disabuse the little dears of their preconceptions because sometimes what I’m thinking about just flies out on its own and I relish the :eek: :eek: :eek: looks I get… Freaking the kiddies just gets better the older I get… 😉 ---

> [@FlyingRamenMonster](#): > > What you are all saying, I find alarming. Now I can’t stop wondering how many people _I_ know have thought of banging me :eek: Well, I would have assumed that all females past the age of puberty and not falling into the bottom percentile on the attractiveness scale would have noticed that, though most men try to be polite enough not to make it obvious. Oh, and male, married, old enough to get a “senior citizen” discount at some places, and definitely a C. (Though I would **never** actually cheat on my wife outside my fantasies). ---

> [@FlyingRamenMonster](#): > > What you are all saying, I find alarming. Now I can’t stop wondering how many people _I_ know have thought of banging me :eek: As others have said, there’s a good chance almost every (straight) male you have met has thought about it. That’s not to say they _still_ think about it, but it does seem to be a natural male instinct, when he first meets a woman, to ask himself “would I do her?” in his head. ---

Female here, and I’m a definite C. I rarely have full hot-n-heavy fantasies about people I actually know, but the thought of sex with just about every male I know has crossed my mind in one form or another. Often, it’s someone I would never actively _want_ to have sex with … like my dentist. One should not have such thoughts while getting a root canal. And my dentist isn’t even _hot_ or anything. ---

Another female, C. And **FRM** - we’re just talking about opposite sex here. I’m sure some of the women you’ve encountered in life have thought about doing you, too.
