Ratio of men to women with a medical fetish.

There are a lot more women into medical play that websites like this might lead one to believe…I’ve discovered that quite a few of my female friends have an interest in “playing doctor” and this goes beyond the simple dirty doctor role plays that are portrayed in mainstream porn. It may just be that men in general are more likely to seek out online resources.

Is there any empirical data that can support these arguments either way?? There are a lot of members on Zity. How many are active, how many are lookey Lou's who just jump in for a quick look and leave, how many are just voyeurs looking to see what others are doing and aren't active contributors or players? I think @Joanne may have it right - men are sexual pigs (I mean that in a nice way) whereas women tend to have other things (as well as sex) on their minds. 😉

@Webby's information is the definitive answer. It is fact, not opinions and guesses.

Members should also recognise that when in mixed company, women tend to be quieter when discussing any sexual matter, and often they withdraw further when males appear to dominate the discussion. It is quite wrong to assume that males and females are equally expressive.

Maybe the usage ratio is more interesting than the ratio by registered users. It reflects the current situation rather than the registration history.

Usage ratio:

45 % women / 55% men

That's a usage ratio for whatever criteria defines “usage” - it doesn't reflect how many users practice medfet (per the topic) or any other fetish on the site. One can certainly project guesses about how member use the site - but those are nothing more than gut feelings or biases. One could come up with a stat based on how many members have flagged “medfet” as an interest in their “tag” settings….but how many who “tag” it really have it as a fetish or are simply curious about it??

Usage ratio: 45 % women / 55% men

Whatever other qualifiers one wishes to try and apply to this confirmed statistic, the ratio is about equal, which is very encouraging.

And there are no two ways about it, but some of the female members (past and present) were and are very vocal indeed. Many were never at a loss for words and opinions.

@DrZ But women, at least under 40s, seem more inclined to discuss sex and intimate matters together (as long as there is no man in sight) than males.

@Pecan_nutjob - Precisely. And that's why some moderators, including myself, don't appreciate male members hijacking threads that are specifically intended for women. Male members, if they choose to do so, more often than not can have their own discussions on the same subjects from their own perspectives. By getting too involved with female-specific threads, they are not contributing but instead have a chilling effect on female discourse. It isn't intentional, as they assume that women are as willing to speak in mixed company as they are themselves. But they are mistaken.

From what I’ve seen, some women also get pissed and turned off (and justifiably so) when men post on a Ladies thread as if they are more aware about what women, think or feel. We’re good, but not that good!

Okay, keep in mind this is generalities not individual cases, most men are single minded in thinking. It has to do with the way they are brought up which is different from woman. For those men who wish to gain a better understanding I suggest these 2 books to get started.
