I probably read as much in the LL as anywhere else in the board. There are many reasons:

1) Discussions sometimes touch on issues that would bore the hell out of most men. They are useful, none the less, when relating with a significant other.
2) Because I have a minor in Human Factors, the group dynamics in the LL is easier to follow because there are less people. Sorry if that makes you all feel as if you are in an ant farm. It fascinates me to watch a thread's role assignments, relationship repair techniques, and general conflict resolution.
3) It is rare to be able to see a group of women interact EXCLUSIVELY - (Sex in the City is scripted and can be taken worth a grain of salt from what I have witnessed in the LL.)

As to it "turning me on", I would say....sometimes - not because of the voyeur aspect of it. There are certain members that seem to have a sexual persona that is similar to mine. So, those people typically push the right buttons. "Gaping vaginas?" Ummmm, not so much a turn on. (See item 1 in above list.)

With SOME issues discussed, I think there is an inherent deficiency in limiting a discussion to a gender. In the LL, the relatively few regulars have developed such a strong sense of empathy for one another that, often, I feel as if people don't hear the responses they need to hear. However, when watching my ant farm, often the ants don't place the grain of sand where I would have put it. Then I think, "I'm no ant, what the hell do I know."

I think it would be cool if the LL would allow a male to initiate a thread, and let the women comment on it. The contribution of the male would be limited to the original post via a thread request list. Let's face it, we would all love to post a question up to the opposite sex and let it take off on its own. There was a recent thread discussing the lack of involvement in the LL lately and one theorized that all the subjects had been asked and answered. Why not allow males to suggest new discussion threads?

Oh, and pillow fights. Pillow fights would be good too.
