Supposedly they want sex and we want love. Such rigid classifying of people by gender is false and damaging. Perhaps what's at issue is not male sex drive at all but the fact that men are raised with different ways of expressing their emotions.
Sexual intercourse is one of the few permissible ways for a man to be close to someone.
For many men, it is the only acceptable place for their tender, loving feelings. It may be this limitation, rather than an innate, irrepressible sex drive that prompts men to initiate intercourse so often and leads to the false notion that women are less sexual than men. The sterotype may also arise from deep cultural fears of women's sexual passion and power. It may be that some women initiate other expressions of sex more often than men. Shop O2 .
