You are absolutely right. In my experience, women can be and are at least as sexual as men. Then, of course, there are exceptions on both sides of the aisle. I am very grateful I don't see the world the way your friend does. I totally agree with what you said about "x, and y". I feel that such generalizations are mostly useless, and are only espoused by the people who embody them. I am very sentimental, highly sensitive, and highly sexual. That sexuality is in no way limited to the sentimental and romantic. But, no matter how aggressive or freaky we were, I wouldn't like it as much if I couldn't lay down and hold her afterwards and kiss the side of her face. I defy all the stereotypes, laugh at all the generalizations. And, I have known plenty of women who do as well. They tend to be the smart ones. Your post is great, I agree with everything you said.
And they're usually espoused by people that don't have a heck of a lot of experience with the opposite sex. Most of the men I've known have been more romantic, sentimental, and emotional than the women they were with! Go figure. If the only thing I knew about men and women was what I read in books, or some stereotype that someone told me I had to believe, I might believe those things, too. However, living out in the real world has taught me that the only time people are in those little boxes are when you put them in there to start with-then you're the one that has to let them out.
I feel passion should be rapped in romantic deep emotional sex, we quiver in rapturous splender in our longing embrace. I fuck a woman like shes a princess.
Men enjoy sex more than women? Your friend must have been born yesterday. :H Anyway, I too am romantic as well as sexual. In fact, it's hard for me to separate the sex and the romance. They're connected.
Wow, I'm real happy with the response that I got to this thread, and the answers pretty much confirm my views on this subject. Keep it up, guys! :smartass:
I don't like stereotypes. Most of the girls I meet aren't romantic at all, but then again I am 16 years old. Then again most of the guys I know of my age have a huge sex drive, and I think to myself, fuck that, no pun intended. I'd rather have a nice clean relationship, even though most of the relationships I find myself in from time to time are both tacky and unfulfilling. Ohwell, there's time left.
i am an older man who has studied this issue for some time, and before early retirement was a psychotherapist in private practice. regardless of the usual consensus that man need sex and women, romance....the conclusion that i have reached is that female sexuality has been diminished purposely by societal, religious and parental shibboleths and restraints, perpetuating the myth of the male's need for sexual release as another means of denigrarting the idea of female sexuality. in reality - given self-permission, a woman is animalistic in her sexuality.
No, actually women are more impulsive and less logical, which means that they're more emotional about their sexuality and men are more practical about it... It's not that women don't like sex or don't think about it-- it's just that they're more afraid or more worried about how it will make them feel. Also, the fact that they're taking someone inside their body is a lot more frightening than just sticking something inside someone... Ultimately, women and men have the same impulses but react to them differently.
women usually...note usually... tend to wait for sex to be initiated by the man. society has engineered this attitudinal distinction in women. however.......given the green light, any woman can and should outperform any male in terms of sexuality..........they all have that innate propensity.
