Arya:
This a sterostype where girls are good and boys are horny at best, if that 
is, if they manage to figure out what they want.  I think I might offer my own 
testimonial that girls, even at the ages of 15 thru 17, do indeed want and think 
about sex and *gasp* are doing it. Divide the legs, and way more than that.  
And I do in fact speak of my own personal experience when I was in high 
school between 1990-1994.  

Taryn:
I'll speak up as someone currently 16, female, and in high school and agree. Girls are just as hormonal as guys, but it does seem more common for girls to be able to hide it a bit better. And maybe have a bit more self-restraint. :P However, most of the girls I know /do/ love the fuzzily romantic gestures, too.
