A sizzling 86- with myself.
With anyone else, it plunges depressingly. Pretty accurate.

The fiance and myself only rated a 37. Guess I’ll have to call off the wedding! Or change my name…

Interesting - using just first names, my husband and I score 73, but add last names, and it drops to 26. And using our IM usernames, we get 11!!!
Also interesting, matching my Dope name with a couple other Dope names never got over 50, so I guess there’s no secret lust roiling beneath the surface. And putting in my first boyfriend’s name got a lukewarm result.
So I guess I’m with the right one! I know he’ll be thrilled to learn that! 😃

A 40? It’s broken.

Hmmm… interesting. Using my first name and maiden name, me and husband are off the scale. With my married name we rate so low, we need therapy.
Hmmm. my married friends were right. It does get worse, and less frequent after you say I do

Yoo hoo! Heather Graham, if you’re reading this, according to the sex thingee, we are **HOT!!!**
Drop me an email, and let’s see where things go.
Oh, wait. Me and my girlfriend are hotter.
No hard feelings?

Me and Jeremy Irons, a perfectly acceptable 77%.

It’s better than I got with any of the ex husbands.

With an ex gf: 90 (pretty close to accurate)
Plugging in odd combinations, I see there’s some action going on between the kiddie networks that we’ve been missing:
**Dora** and **Sponge Bob** : 100!
Go figure

Let’s see. The woman I have a first date with this weekend–a paltry 32. yuck. But if I hit spacebar after each of our names, it’s a **96**!! Yes! Can I legally change my name so it’s spelled with a space after it?
