  Comments:
I thought I had added this a long time ago but apparently 
not. I've heard it many times on TV.
"with the opposite sex/gender" isn't really ideal because 
if a homosexual man would talk about his モテ期 we would 
naturally assume he's talking about attention from other 
homosexual men

The best single reference I have seen for this is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moteki, though I have seen the reference in other places.
