Dry Spells--TWO Polls!

I was having dinner with a friend of mine last week, and we were talking about (who knows how we got onto this subject) another friend's recent uncharacteristic promiscuity.  He was telling me that this friend, who is normally on the side of refined, ladylike, and selective when it comes to dating, had a particularly difficult dry spell and wound up setting out for a one-night-stand to get it all out of her system and end her dry spell.  Of course, since a girl often gets what she wants, she was able to do just that.


He made two interesting points in this conversation.  One, that a lady gets what she wants.  The general point was that men are pretty much always up for sex, and women hold all the cards.  All a woman has to do is raise her hand and she can go home with a guy.  The only thing stopping this from happening all the time is that women are often more selective.


His second point was, in his words, that "every lady has a limit."  That is to say, that women may have different tolerances for "dry spells," but for every woman, whether a lady or a (well, for lack of a better word) slut, may have standards that could decrease over time during a dry spell, while desperation increases, and there comes a point when the two scales cross, after which it becomes more and more difficult for her to stay within her moral bounds because she "just can't take it anymore."


This is all very interesting, very taboo, and despite any offensive gender generalizations and stereotypes this encompasses, I think there is at least some truth to it.  So I thought it would make an interesting poll.  Wait!  Let's make it TWO interesting polls!


First, everyone--do you think there's any truth to the idea that a woman gets what she wants?





And second, for the ladies--how long does it typically take before you reach your "limit?"  That is to say, how long could you go without a little *ahem* attention--before you start to lose your mind?
