Yesterday, while I was trying to nap, Hollywood Squares came on the TV. One of the questions/answers made the claim that people have more sex when the moon is full. This immediately sounded like bunk to me. After all, the Master dealt with a very similar subject in Do Things Get Crazy When the Moon is Full?
Any idea if there is any truth to this “fact”, or are the dumbasses at Hollywood Squares just making it harder for us to fight ignorance?
Well, though the physical effects of the moon on the human body are negligible, the emotional effects might be significant. And maybe the extra light is a factor. Maybe a couple out for a moonlight stroll thinks the moon is romantic and things progress. Maybe having it light enough to walk through the trees without getting lost allows some teenagers to get away from supervision. Also, it has been my experience that women on the pill frequently get their cycles in some kind of sync with the moon. I think this is not anything to do with there bodies and everything to do with their minds. They say “A my best friend is like that.” and they feel they should be too and it just “happens”. (Sorry if that sounds sexist - I don’t have a problem with it and think that it is a healthy thing emotionally.) Still, it results in the moon having a round about effect on their sexual habits. I don’t remember which part of the cycle tends to fall on the full moon though. It’s been that long. 
Minnesota has not been good to me.
How do they go about doing this? Do they decide to stop taking the pill during the full moon, then resume afterwards? It’s the only way can think of…
Well, women who live together/spend time together can get their mensrual cycles in sync. Cecil has covered this as well. But I don’t know that the full moon has anything to do with it, unless the dominant female’s cycle just happens to coincide with the full moon.
Yeah, they forget to take their pill for a period of time. Their period is irregular until they hit it on the right time of the month and then they don’t forget so much any more until they notice their cycle is deviating from the moon. Admittedly there was only one time where I was able to watch this happen over a period of time and hear the woman’s excuses about “I forgot to take my pill a lot again this month so we have to use a condom and I’m going to have really bad PMS when the time comes so prepare yourself.” This shouldn’t be thought of as conclusive evidence. However, a couple of other women I have been intimate with had seemed to have no problems remembering to take their pill when they got out of sync with either their friends or the moon. Sometimes it takes months of adjustments before they get in sync.
Of course, they may have gotten out of sync because they failed to take their pill rather than forgot because they were out of sync.
I don’t know that much about it. I just know that it looks intentional, or at least mental rather than physical, from where I’m standing. Most of the women I’m thinking of have been very considerate about fulfilling my sexual desires regardless of their rhythm, so this is not an issue where I’m complaining because I was sexually frustrated. Actually, it’s rather convenient for a group of male friends to have girlfriends that have similar rhythms. I would assume it’s convenient for the women too. More power to them.
