Only problem with this article - it is becoming increasingly clear that scientist understand very little about genes and how they work. Pronouncments like this make good journalism but shit science. I would be more apt to believe my sexual desires are in her jeans.

So because they dont already know everything there is to know they should stop trying? Either way, could have been a typo, genes, jeans.

Sure, where was this when I was a teenager and my parents got on me about my sexual bahavior. Could have pointed at them and said, I got it from you.

I hope it is true. My parents are in their mid fifties and still hump like rabbits.

Here I thought I was kinky because I am an Aries with Scorpio rising... and it was a genetic leftover. My question is this... How is being kinky adaptive to the reproduction of human beings? .. if we want to get into some Darwin before lunch...lol

Every guy I have ever dated, had all sorts of sexual desire in their jeans, and were more than happy to rub it against you.

...Saw this posting and thought "genes/jeans"... Obviously I'm not nearly the only one.

Whenever the "genetic disposition" theory is espoused, I find it necessary to say that people are far more complex than their genes. Behavior is a matter of choice. The devil didn't make you do it. Even if genes incline you in a certain direction, you are the one who makes the choice and takes the step.

Consider "nature versus nurture" and the fact that family members share not just genetic background, but also share environment, socialization and every other psychological imprint that can be life-long.

Is it your genes or your early training.... who really knows. Too complex to isolate all the factors and test.

My parents are in their 70's and go at it like rabbits. No wonder I am a nympho and I hope at 70 I still am.

It's not shit science. I agree that journalists have a way of overstating/misstating the results of scientific research (and that scientists too often allow journalists to get away with it), but this article is a report about real scientific research.
