The Eagle!

I have a whole big long post about The Eagle and about Eagle of the Ninth that wants to be written. But I keep on trying to write it and just being entirely unable to structure my thoughts into any sort of coherent structure. It is a problem!

And now I've gotten to the point where I've even lost track of what half the points I wanted to make even WERE. So I'll just... do a point form list of stuff until I run out of things to say. Sounds good? Okay!

1. I need to see the movie.
2. The fic for the movie is AMAZING.
3. I love the total history nerdery that seems to go along with this fandom
4. ( okay, starting here my points begin to have spoilers for both the book and the movie. )

A question for you.

So there is a fic I am making vague stabs at trying to write. It is not going very well. This is in part because I lack some crucial information! Namely, what is it like to experience sexual attraction?

And so I turn to you for help! Are you a person who experiences sexual attraction? I would like to hear from you! What does sexual attraction feel like for you (physically? mentally? emotionally?)? When do you experience it? How often do you experience it? Do you experience it every time you see a person you would categorize as "hot" or just people you are interested in, or some third option? Do you enjoy the experience? Do you ever wish it would just go away? Is there anything else that I'm not thinking to ask because I don't know enough to ask it?

Basically I just would love anything you could tell me about what sexual attraction is like for you. And it would be wonderful to get responses from multiple people, so I can try to extrapolate outwards from multiple data points to get a fuller picture of what it is like! I am happy with long or short answers, with or without TMI, and you can of course comment anonymously if you wish.

(Also, while I'm at it, just for my own interest, would you be able to explain what it is that is enjoyable/appealing about kissing? I'm just so curious!)
