Sad that link does not go into what the most common sexual fantasies are. As far as what men will pay money for and/or register for a site to access these are the most popular (though this may be skewed by the fact that stuff like "lesbians" and "threesomes" may be so common online as to make it pointless to pay or register for a site to get access.)

1. Things related to shoes, feet, stockings, etc...
2. Cheating wife/cheating girlfriend, cuckold, etc...
3. FemDom
4. Male chastity stuff.
5. Bisexual, forced bisexual, etc..
6. Sissy related stuff
7. Reluctance (Non consent where the woman ends up loving it.)
8. Water sports.
9. Teasing, edging, etcc..
10. CBT.

Yeah, sadly the actual article is behind a paywall:

If anyone who has access wants to let us know what the most common ones are, that would be awesome!

Yeah, I'm curious if the most common ones bear any relation at all to the ones that people register or pay for. I'm betting it's really different.

For example if my thing was watching 18 year old lesbians I would never sign up for a site because it's too easy to get.

But if I want to look at a couple dozen pictures of pretty feet in pretty shoes and want them to be different every day I'd sort of have to sign up.

Is Psychometric g a Myth?

TL;DR appears to be "no, it isn't"... which is sort of the opposite of what you'd expect from the title. Interesting article.

[andrewducker]

Betteridge applies!

[steer]

*heh* I do like the Betteridge...

But at the risk of seeming like I have sense of humour failure, I was expecting a Betteridgeable article but, in fact, the writer was rather convincingly arguing that the answer definitely was no from the start of the article. It gave me that "huh?" feeling -- because I believe there probably is some g, and it turns out so does the author of that page, just as I was ready to look for holes in the argument I found I was furiously agreeing. Disconcerting.

[andrewducker]

I've just met _so many people_ particularly on the internet who are all "IQ is made up - there's no such thing as intelligence" that bumping into a well-researched demolishing of that argument was something I couldn't pass up.
