This question prompted by a discussion with a friend in which we took different stances and were each non-judgemental but vaguely surprised by the other's stance.

I don't feel like the first poll tells me very much but I am *fascinated* by the results of the second, which are not what I was expecting at all.

Actually, that's not true, the first poll does tell me that my intuitions about how this interacts with gender were backwards, but it's not a strong enough effect that I can tell anything very conclusive beyond that.

It's interesting, the results from the original poll already blew the pattern I thought might be there out of the water.

I think it's fundamentally unhealthy, and will warp your relationship with the person At least, that's what it did to me, and why I stopped
-
I don't know if I actually believe this, but certainly the concern that this might be true is a lot of why I don't do it.

It is! I'm not ace and was also pretty surprised when I realised that this was in fact a relatively normal thing people do.

want this the topic of one of the sokal squared hoax papers? besides, how do 1&2 work if one is just starting to date someone else? solving for equilibrium means they would never have sex!

I think there's a big difference between having sexual thoughts about someone and actively fantasising about them. If anything I'm *more* reluctant to do the latter with someone who I've just started dating.
