Public figures twice as likely to be the object of women’s sexual dreams than in men’s
Do men or women dream more about sex?

Both men and women dream about sex in equal measure, according to the findings of a Canadian study. About 8 per cent of everyday dream reports from both genders contain some form of sexual-related activity, according to a study conducted by University of Montreal psychology professor Antonio Zadra. He presented his findings on Thursday at Sleep 2007, the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Minneapolis.

Zadra examined more than 3,500 dream reports collected from both men and women. The most common type of sexual dream content was sexual intercourse, followed by sexual propositions, kissing, fantasies and masturbation.

Other under-the-cover revelations:
- Both men and women reported experiencing an orgasm in about 4 per cent of their sexual dreams.
- Women reported that orgasms were experienced by other people who figured in their dreams, in about 4 per cent of their dreams.
- In contrast, men did not report other characters experiencing orgasms in their dreams.
- Current or past partners were identified in 20 per cent of women's sexual dreams, compared to 14 per cent for men.
- Public figures such as movie stars and politicians were twice as likely to be the object of women's sexual dreams, while men were twice as likely to report dreaming of multiple sex partners.

1. I can attest to the "public figures" dreams being a female thing. Mmmmm.

2. Hell, I work in a bar. I could've told them that.
My new guilty pleasure is starting a Ginger vs. Marianne debate when several men are around drinking. What fun!

3. Must be true, since public figures have been the object of
my sexual dreams exactly zero times, ever.

5. What are our puritans and neo-puritans going to do about THAT?
Even if they succeed in putting a stop to all the rampant fornication in our society, people will still be screwing in their dreams! Oh Noes!
