The Ten Sexiest Stories of 2012

For my last post of the year, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at the most read articles on The Psychology of Human Sexuality in 2012. Combined, the ten posts that follow have been read more than a quarter of a million times and represent a rather diverse range of content, with the exception of the fact that not one, but three Top Ten Lists of Sexual Fantasies appear. Apparently, there are a few voyeurs among you.
