Just a little observation I’ve noticed - it seems that the most VIEWED (although usually pretty low in responses) threads on this board are always the ones about sex. I was just over in IMHO and I was looking over the index and there were 3 messages with over 500 views on the first page, and all three of them were sexual in nature. I’m sure when I come back tomorrow this current thread will have more views than any other on the page as well. This just leads me to wonder…do the dopers here just always flock to the possibly-sexual threads (sorry to disappoint all of you who opened this expecting a story involving a ring of pearls and an opal), or is there this large sub-culture of people who use this board solely for wacking off to other doper’s sexual stories? Am I the first one to notice this ?
Yeah, the first one. No one has ever made this observation before, or named a thread just to get views.
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
Considering that the most viewed on this page is over 27,400, I’m pretty sure you’re wrong. But, please, feel free to hold your breath.
Welcome aboard!
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it were true?
Alas, I think we Dopers are much like the rest of the world, and have spectacularly boring sex-lives. Y’see, most of the ‘sex’ threads are about how the OP isn’t GETTING ANY, so I fail to understand how we could be whacking off to such tales of deprivation.
I like my erotica to have some actual sex in it.
You know this thread will end up with a high views/replies ratio…
Don’t have much use for erotica myself, nothing yet beats what I married.
Okay, the second part of that sentence is true, truth is I can’t find any erotica that really works for me.
I don’t think I’m a sex perv…
Thank you fusoya. You’ve inspired me to post in threads that have sex in their title, so as to lower the view/post ratio.
Is that the “If Lord of the Rings Was Written by Someone Else” … keep in mind that THAT thread was featured on Slashdot. For those of you who don’t know, the term Slashdotted refers to the cause and effect of posting ANY link on Slashdot.org or its message boards, and getting 20,000 hits within the hour.
And you haven’t even noticed the Panda yet. It lives over in Cafe Society.
fusoya, don’t start threads with provocative titles just to get views.
