That until you've grown a set of man junk you should just keep the de-railing to your OH SNAP RELATIONSHIPS!

Just FYI, women are slightly more likely to seek sex for physical satisfaction and men slightly more likely to seek sex for emotional intimacy.

On the metanalytic level there's no clear difference at all between motivation for sex in either gender.

that's true, with the exception of Talyor swift songs and HS-based movies/.TV, women are rarely 'friend zoned' in that, as a guy, if i like to spend time with a girl on a sentient level, then i might aswell have physical time with her.
Or maybe that's just me. I'm a little off-kilter lately. coming of age and **** like that.

My statement was based on self-reported survey data, which is probably the best we've got.

[karajorma]

And probably close to worthless. Since no one ever tells the truth when it comes to sex related surveys.

[General Battuta]

Hmm, maybe. But the fact that it defied the gender stereotypes is nonetheless telling.

I'll buy that just from a plumbing standpoint.  Men have dual-purpose, women have mission specific.

[General Battuta]

Er, what? I'm not sure what you're saying there.

Just to clarify how thoroughly this runs against the grain: the evidence is that women **** because it's fun, whereas the men are in it for the feelings.

[karajorma]

Not really against the grain as much as you'd think actually. Women tend towards sex in committed relationships more than men while with men there is a tendency towards sex just for fun.

Both sides are simply describing what they feel they are lacking in their current sexual encounters.

[Liberator]

Er, what? I'm not sure what you're saying there.

For men, as I'm sure you are well aware, coitus results the release of their reproductive material.  Women on the other hand experience coitus independently of the reproductive function.  With a capability for repeat coital events within a short period of time, or so I've read.  Regardless, from a plumbing standpoint, women are build in that area for pleasure far more than men.

I don't think that assertion is supported at all - it's one of those fuzzy evolutionary psychology 'just so stories'. It doesn't connect to men having sex for emotional intimacy. Nor does it explain the behavior of women, simply because most women don't get to have orgasm during sex.

And men can have multiple orgasms without ejaculation too.

Hrm, maybe. Nonetheless it is interesting that women seek sex for sexual pleasure whereas men seek it to 'connect with their partner' or whatever, because stereotypically, the gender traits are the opposite of that.

If only we had a more reliable kind of data (like actual behavioral observation).

I think what Liberator is trying to say is “women have the clitoris.” He might have been on to something if he’d left it at that instead of wandering off into evopsych hand-waving. Then again, I guess that’s hard if you’re afraid to say “clitoris.”

[Turambar]

Why would anyone be afraid of a clitoris?  They're so small and harmless and fun!

[iamzack]

I have two so I still have one if one is in the wash.

I'm not afraid to say...that word...I just don't reference things I've never had first hand empirical contact with and no, video's don't count.

You can't talk about the moon!?

Kara wins.

Everything.

Forever.

[Col. Fishguts]

Well played sir.

Also, my field studies suggest that men and women enjoy non-reproductive-sex about the same

[iamzack]

My field studies suggest that nerds hate sex and will do anything to get out of it. :<

[Mongoose]

My field studies suggest that there's no point in bothering with the whole mess when you have the Internets and your right/left hand.
