Top Picture: A surgeon noticed that a woman started to ovulate while in the middle of a surgery. Ovulation had never been seen with the naked eye, so the doctor took pictures. The yellow spot is the egg erupting from the corpus luteum (the red part). Below: What women tend to want to do when the above picture happens to them.
I got this from a WebMD forum, so its not scientific but its interesting. Someone claiming to be a college girl posted her experience of wanting to have sex while in her fertile phase.
but i've literally taken note that when i ovulate, my cute male friends down the hall start lookin even better and i almost prey on them. i tell my roomie "this week, my goal is (insert name here)". like clockwork..when i feel like being extra friendly and flirty, i know i'm ovulating. each time i've made out -...and such- with any of my male friends, i was ovulating..and sober.
I just assumed that was a fact. i didn't know people had to actually have a study to figure that out...especially if responsible young adult women will lose some modesty and inhibition and shed some clothes with a random hot friend in the nearest dark room..
i've even explained to the guys WHY we ended up making out and not to expect it to happen every day; "when women ovulate, we get crazy horny. i mean, i love you like a friend and you're totally cute but under normal circumstances, i doubt that would've happened. i kinda hunted you like a piece of meat. you didn't 'conquer' me by any stretch of the imagination..but the effort to get me was cute. but really..if women didn't get horny one week a month, we would probably never have sex. we would just deny men sex unless we wanted children. so half the world's population would be nonexistent."
..if it was one of those weeks, they had to be conquered. they're cute and funny and sweet and smart guys..but it really had very little to do with them.. i just bait the 2 usual suspects and see who bites first. even my hetero life partner gets baited. but he goes to school out of state..hence the need for fresh meat...which he allows. and it's horrible that these young men are prey but 3 weeks a month, they're my best friends...so i DO see them as people more often than not. but it's currently one of those weeks. they're prey.
Too bad that woman didnt talk about her contraceptive usage during those trysts. A study from 2007 found that women that are ovulating are more interested in risky behavior. Women laying in an fMRI machine were asked to look at pictures of men during their fertile and non fertile stages. They were told that some of the men always used protection during sex and some rarely did. They were then asked which of the men they were most likely to sleep with. At the time of ovulation, the women wanted to sleep with the men that rarely used birth control and were more likely to sleep with the "safe" men when not fertile.
The fMRI images found that the parts of the brain that are involved with risk taking were more active during ovulation. This part of the brain is stimulated by alcohol, drugs and gambling. The study suggests that women are more likely to engage in alcohol, drug abuse and unprotected sex while fertile.
Nightline did a story on girls and binge drinking in 2012 and the reporter mentioned a fact that caught my attention. She said that 80% of teen pregnancies occurred when the girl was drunk. This reminded me of post that I mentioned and how it said that women drink more and are bigger risk takers while ovulating. The Nightline story and statistic seemed to back that claim up.
