Kushwant Singh in his recent interview to a newspaper
admitted being a lecher right from when he was four. There was a guilt tone in
his admission. He said that when he took stock of his life and drew a balance
sheet, being a lecher was on the debit side. I don’t understand why he should
feel so. Definitely I didn’t expect this from him.
Some research said that over 80% of men think about sex 19
times a day (mind you this is a recent study that disproved that every 7
seconds men thought about sex… this would have amounted to 8000 times a day, if
a 16 waking-hour day is taken). But I am sure most of these sex thoughts in
their minds would have had images of women other than their legal partners.
Lecherous I should say.
Another research suggests that majority of the men have
twice as many sexual partners as women over the course of their lives. The
Health Survey for England found that men reported having 9.3 different partners
on average. But for that 'on average' I really would have been confused about that 0.3 woman in their lives. Why
one-third of a woman for a sexual intercourse?
Anyway, these two researches should put to rest our ‘Singh
is king’s mind, that there is nothing abnormal about him. He should quickly
move the entry ‘being a lecher’ to the credit side. All straight men are
lecherous, if you go by the statistics and research findings. And don't worry king... most of the celebrities are in your league. Even the celebrated sci-fi author Isaac Asimov has penned a book by the name 'Lecherous Limericks' and followed it up with two more books because of its popularity!
Would this mean that Gay people are not lecherous? Would ogling
or thinking of a same-sex person be construed as a lecherous act or not?
It is, perhaps, appropriate that the English word lecher comes
from the French for licker. If your imagination now runs riot, don't blame me :-))... Which is why the French for window shopping is ‘faire du
lèche-vitrine’, which literally means to go window licking.
And
incidentally, unless you have a perfect diction, lecher and lecture sound
identical. Let me stop this lecture about lecher and move on to catching up with the number
mentioned in the ‘sex thought’ research findings :-)) I am lagging behind heavily!
If you select rightly,1/3 is enough!even for the french word!murali....you are getting more and more dirty(it is a compliment:))for the amount of time you spend on "thoughts" you should be 300+(am i under etimating?)
