Some light reading for a Saturday morning.
I've tried Google and the Butler bloke, but to no avail.
So I turn, as usual to the cleverer people we have here.
I'm not sure I'll find the answer here, but somebody might be able to point me in the right direction to find the answer.
Has anyone heard of the phenomenon that I know only as "death sex" , "war sex" "trench sex"
A burning desire to have sex immediately following a real or believable traumatic experience where there was a very real possibility of death, such as surviving a fire fight ?
I know its something along the lines of the euphoria of such a survival, coupled with man's desire to reproduce.
The first I ever heard of it was explained to me as something from the first world war trenches, although apparently it has existed since man.
There is a very good example of this in the novel by David Lodge "Small World" (1985). I can't remember the details sufficiently well to recount them here right now.

There was also the film "Crash"
Very interesting film about people who got off after watching car crashes and then causing them to feed thier passion.
There are some very strange people around.......................most of them are in SH too ! :shock:
Can I ......... Cant I ................. Can I .............. Cant I ????
Nope................ this one is going to the grave with me :giggle:

I guess it's a combination between the "thank god i'm still alive, lets screw something" reaction, the doomsday reaction (nothing left to worry about) and the 40% adrenaline in your blood.
Bush and Blair must have tremendous sex lives then.
It ia well documentated that couple muderers will imediately have sex after a murder. This drives them on to doing the next crime as the buzz is supposed to be so good. Many coulpes have been tracked that way and convicted on the evidence left behind... :shock:
