Aye yes, although I've only really made the link between the moon phase and my increased animalistic-ness (word invention) very recently. Sexual desire tends to be a thing that increases whenever I'm shifting anyway... it's just the way I am. Kudos to you for being brave enough to ask this question by the way.

were all lunatics somewhat.or just crazy yay for the crazy ppl!!!

But seriously, scientifically it doesn't sound logic that it would be bound to the moon phases, those don't have any measurable effects on the human body.
It sounds rather like a monthly cycle that follows a preconception you have about your metabolism.

It's an interesting question, though.
Given that the historical werewolf didn't have anything much to do with the moon phases, it makes for an interesting question why a therian would feel affected by them?

I don't think that the mating bahaviour of wolves follows that cycle either, wild animals usually care more for the seasonal cycle in that regard.
Although, I think some kind of fish is actually affected by the tides.

Yeah I guess if human wants and desires were logical this world would be a better place most of the time.

Well seeing as the tides are affected by the moon....that makes me...... a fish? :p

It may have nothing to do with the moon. My body may just randomly run with the moon. We may never know. Maybe I am just a loon, but that makes it heard to be a fish.....

If anything I was never out to get an answer per se, but just to pose an interesting topic for discussion.

Humans are psychologically affected by the moon, like all other creatures.  It's not clear why this is, but animal mentalities change slightly during the full moon.  Your situation is only different in that you notice it.

The common proof is the fact that violent crimes happen significantly more often during the full moon.

What we have yet to address is the "Mind over matter" possibility. If you can convince yourself of something it can be true. If you strongly believe that you are sick, you won't feel well whether you are ill or not. There have even been cases of people convincing themselves that they are a sexuality other than what they are. The fact of the matter is that one's frame of mind can effect them.

That's where the word comes from.  People used to think that the Moon held sway over people's mind, and so, people who were crazy would be called lunatics.

There is no reliable scientific evidence to support that crime goes up during a full moon, or anything like that.  However, if someone has difficulty sleeping during a full moon, it could simply be because it can be an awful lot brighter on nights with a full moon, sometimes even bright enough for people and objects to cast shadows.  If a person was particularly sensitive to light levels, it's totally conceivable that they would have a hard time sleeping during a full moon.

I wonder if any of those clinical conditions included bedrooms with windows.

I think it could be an subconcious thing really, though I do understand what you mean. Even though I'm hungry all the time I do crave meat alot more around the full moon and I had my fisrt kiss under a full moon(with a vampire!o.O) so I say your expiriences arn't that strange at all. ^-^

Well, I have noticed that to. I m-shift on the full moon, and am more like an animal then. Including the instincts.
Nope, your not crazy. I am surprised, though, that someone actually got up the nerve to ask. I was wondering the same thing.
bravo, dude.
