Suddenly, and quite arbitrarily, the greatest thing in the world is taken away. It becomes “uncouth” to cry and reach for breasts at the mall.

British psychologist Jennie Parker asked about 200 18-to-25 year olds to keep a dream diary, and found that not only do the gals have more nightmares than the guys, but that their nightmares are more emotionally intense and psychologically significant.
Confirming the male’s horndog status, Parker also discovered that men have more dreams involving sexual activity, and when a woman does dream of sex, it is less likely to contain actual intercourse.(source)
