The Truth About What Straight Women Want

I'm currently downloading a documentary called The Truth About Female Desire. It showed up on television in the UK in 2005, and it's now available for download via the wonderful world of torrents.

Here's the description:

In a major science event led by John Bancroft, six single girls share a dormitory at Brunel University, London, where scientists from the Kinsey Institute perform sexual experiments on them to determine the true nature of female desire.

It's now 100 years since Freud first speculated about female sexuality but with the new technology available today we are closer to working out what makes female sexuality so mysterious. Over the course of a week, a group of real life Carrie Bradshaws, Samanthas, Charlottes and Mirandas will have the adventure of a lifetime as they take part in a series of cutting edge experiments to work out what makes their libidos tick.


Ooh, Daddy! Female desire! References to Sex and the City! Some kind of mystery! Small sample sizes! Crazy brief testing period! This will be gooooooood.

Unfortunately, there's also this:

Fact will be separated from fiction as the scientists discover whether there is really a g-spot, why women are attracted to certain men, whether it is possible to tell whether a man is going to be good in bed and what the real turn ons and turn off are from a female perspective.


Oh. Men. Great. So, it's more like The Truth About Female Desire If You Consider Female Desire To Be Pretty Much Heterosexual. Also, Lesbians? Haven't Heard Of 'Em. They Probably Don't Even Watch Sex and the City Anyway.

I fully intend to watch and report back, since I'm helpless in the face of any kind of documentary. The download speeds I'm getting on the torrent are hellishly slow, so it might take a while. I'm a trooper though.
