I realize you are generalizing but what you are saying is totally important. Actaully, rest her soul that I can even say this now because she has passed, but you are describing my mom to a "tee'

sex was a responsibilty. I was even raised to think of it as a "weapon". She told me literally, "don't touch that thing." that summed up my sex education... I was also raised to think of my sexual feelings as a problem and I received virtually no other sex education outside of naughty library research with friends from school...lol

my mom was a lovely person, but her attitudes really described an entire victorian era type attitude toward female sexuality that was prevalent in her generation.

we were also raised to believe that men were basically evil because of their sexual desires....I didn't buy into any of it. My refusal to accept those attitudes caused friction between us until my mom was really quite elderly. She was in her 60s telling stories about those "naughty men" who just wanted sex. but at least she was being a little more open finally!

bump uglies...you say the sweetest(girl) things.

thanks! :)

hey bein' sweet takes a lotta thought

I'm with you girlfriend.... And yes I ended the last relationship I had due to lack of sex. Hell he was 12 years younger then me. Sorry to me that is part of life...

Different story if you have been together for years and something happens. But now days there are options for guys if they choose to sit back and not care then I'm out of there...

Sex is what creates a bond between two people....

Especially if you don't clean up the whipped cream between sessions.

i belive in daily sex as we need food, the same way men(sorry i never met a women who is as hungry as we (men))
always needs sex

quite frankly, it is a power thing

Whoever has the poontang has the power, si?

Obviously it should never be used that way, but it does seem like women and men both do it sometimes.

Yup!
I tell her, if she wants that Dunkin Doughnut she gotta quit sitting on it and give it up.

I agree! It is a wonderful thing to share with someone and yes, women want it too!

It makes me kind of nuts that there is so much judgment around sex. It doesn't make sense to me. It feels amazing and improves our health and well being in so many ways.

As for the OP ...why are men so thirsty for sex? What if the drive goes beyond the surface of attraction. Much like when we crave certain foods, it is because there is a component of that food that the body is trying to get.

What if their bodies being the amazing things they are, are just providing information that keep them healthy?

A 2005 study of over 30,000 men found that those who ejaculated more than 21 times per month cut their risk of prostate cancer by 75%.

I am not talking about distraction and addiction, nor am I talking about a license to cheat...but healthy males need to and should be having sex a lot ...with themselves or with a partner.

I know so many women who withhold sex as a way to control their men or to punish them. I personally think that is abusive.

This ^.

First off how is sex overrated in a relationship? Physical intimacy is as important as emotional intimacy. Furthermore, women want sex just as much as men do. However, if you asked the question, "why is it that men seem to lack good manners now a days vs 30 plus years ago?" that would be a much more legitimate question.

I'm all woman n love sex... but only one problem, no sexy lady to do it with... lady's out there???

Nope I'm saying that without sex you have a friendship not a relationship.

Why are men so thirsty for Sex?

Hmm. I think we as men are more elemental in our needs. For us touch, taste, feel, and sight are what stimulate us.

So I guess the short answer would be read Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars....

Some hold on to old fashioned ideas and end up getting run over by the brash, flashy people that capture a potential mates attention. Old fashioned and steady people end up as good friends (friend zone?). If you want physical intimacy look among those that already provide emotional stability in your life.

Sex is easy to get but love is hard to find .

Some people fall in love very easy. Keeping them in love can be a challenge.
