<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Before I came into my sexual awareness, I was fascinated with storms \u2013 thunderstorms, in particular. I wanted them more than a sunny day, more than autumn. I could watch them for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When my sexuality blossomed, my love of severe weather decided to come along for the ride. Now, one of my favorite things is to get freaky when outside looks like the apocalypse is nigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even with all my kinkiness, I still thought it was an unusual quirk. Something others didn\u2019t really do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out I was wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CONDOMS SURVEY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Trojan Condoms surveyed 1000 people and found that over 70% of Americans said they had sex during thunderstorms and tornados, but only 27% had them during a hurricane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also showed that the warmer it is, the more people are willing to have sex. That\u2019s why people in places like Minneapolis only get freaky 64 times a year, but Miami takes the gold at 102 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIDE NOTE:<\/strong> <\/span>The temperature part doesn\u2019t surprise me since I know firsthand how cold temperatures can kill the libido. We want to stay warm under the covered, not fuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THERE ARE DEDICATED TITLES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

In fact, it\u2019s a common enough occurrence that there are even formal names\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRONTOPHLLIA<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 arousal from thunderstorms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASTRAPHILIA<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 arousal from storms, but mostly the lightning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LILAPSOPHILIA<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 arousal from tornados<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some slang has even found its way onto Urban Dictionary \u2013 with the term \u201cThunder Buddy<\/strong>\u201d meaning someone you have sex with during a storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

BUT WHY??<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

That was the biggest question I asked myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I get the \u201cwe\u2019re stuck at home with no electricity and nothing to do \u2026 so let\u2019s screw\u201d idea. <\/em>But there have been camping trips, lake-side cottages, snowy evening, and sleepless nights where there were also no distractions \u2013 all without an increase in desire (at least compared to a good, old, storm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I think the next two possibilities might be closer\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, natural disasters (and danger in general) make us realize our humanity, our fragility, and eventual death<\/strong> (cheery, yeah?). Even if we understand that it\u2019s not the end of the world, our primitive brains still think we need to spend our \u201clast moments\u201d perpetuating the species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, storms are raw power and full of visible energy<\/strong> \u2013 we can see it rip things apart. It\u2019s already been proven that weather and temperature can affect our health and disposition<\/strong>, so it makes sense that intense weather can affect us in intense ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who knows, maybe it\u2019s a combination of all three (or more) \u2013 boredom, primitive responses, and environmental influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, there hasn\u2019t been any formal research on these reactions, and there probably never will be (unless there\u2019s money to be made).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
