I see it's a full moon or at least pretty close. I don't have to even see it but i can feel things in my body. Especially when i was younger it drove my hormones crazy. Even now it makes me horny !! So is it just me or does anyone else get worked up?

You are not alone in that department, I have always seemed to be a horndog the week leading up to the full phase of the moon. :)
O & rain, when raining there's something inside that just instantly makes me want to get naked & do the deed.

I tend to get frustrated during full moons.

Because I always realize it’s a full moon too late, and when I get my telescope out, it’s too bright and I kick myself for not investing in something with motorized tracking and what am I doing out here anyway and why did I forget bug spray and a coat and how am I a fucking adult?

Love to look at thru a scope. See the craters and anything else. Must be neat to see .
 
I'm not really influenced by the phases of the moon. I'm more influenced by the sun - and clouds. Rainy season is tough on me (I've got one of those lights that simulates the sun).

I do love my telescope and a chance to peer out into the universe, so the full moon makes me happy, cause it's always a reason to get together with friends and peer at it.

This reminds me I need to get a decent telescope. I have a spotting scope, but it's pretty disappointing compared to an actual telescope.
 
I always meant to buy a NexStar. It’s been on my wishlist since I worked at World of Science in college. And then I carried on with my life.

Ya, same, though for me I've always just had an interest in amateur astronomy. Always got put on the backburner. I can get a discount through Celestron because of my current job, but still more than I can probably justify.
 
They're pretty good - I've got the 6SE and I like it, especially for finding the more remote sights in the night sky. I am kind of limited here (live in a big city), so backyard is limited by light pollution and it's a drive to find someplace with a good sky - maybe an hour or so - that's open at night. They're a worthwhile thing to have on you wishlist!
 
Just ask any cop or ER doc. I always feel the tug of a Full moon.

This Full moon is the Hunter’s moon.

My husband is ex-NASA and he couldn’t give a shit about astronomy. (To be fair, I’m more into cosmology anyway). But you think he’d be supportive of a decent telescope.

In his words, “If you want to spend some money, let’s build a rocket. If you want to look at the sky, your eyes are free.”

And I was like, “Darling. I’m pretty sure my 400x telescope is cheaper than your 40B dollar rocket, unless you can describe our bank account by orders of magnitude.”

And he was like, “I meant a model rocket.”

And I was like, “Unless your model rocket can reach low earth orbit, it’s not doing a fucking thing for me.”

It got mean after that.

Haha, well, I have your back on that one.
 
Working In the ER is never fun when there’s a full moon.
My wife is a nurse and never looks forward to working the full moons. Always a little crazier.

I personally find myself a lot more creative leading up to a new moon, and much more horny and emotional leading up to a full moon.

There was quite the full smoky orange moon last night here.
 
I never pay much attention to this kind of thing and a fact I’ve always been dismissive of it a bit.

My wife knows I’m on lit, sitting up in bed and just asked her opinion on this question. Her response:

“of course! I always tell you that. Try having a period every 28/29 days, you think there’s no connection?” (Bad husband award time - dismissive and not paying attention). She went on to say she def gets hornier during full moon cycles.

And I see men on here saying the same.

But right now and this week I’ve had the worst insomnia I’ve ever had. And I’ve been the most horny I’ve ever been.
I can’t attribute it fully to the moon. But I think a test next moon cycle will help me understand it better.

I am more open to this idea, now. Feel super bad for dismissing my wife’s feeling on this.

It’s been a really fucking weird week.
 
The idea of a full moon affecting people in any significant way is pure superstition. There is no scientific evidence to support it. It's 2022 and yet humans have not evolved to stop believing in BS. :rolleyes:
 
And yet here we are leading up to a new moon and my brain is on fire

but no you must be right smarty poops, we have evolved to not be affected by the moon.
