SEX question

    Are men and women equal when it comes to their preoccupation with sex?

    It's always been understood that men think about sex more than women but is that really true!?
    Maybe it varies from person to person.

    Think in varies but on average women, at least from what I have seen are not as preoccupied with sex as men. The gap may be a lot smaller than one would think though, still the world is saturated with imagery and art of the sexulized feminine body.

    There are studies out there and most agree that men think about sex roughly twice as often as women, or slightly more so.

    The science seemed solid to me.

    ... yet are always eyeing up the newer, shinier model, when they see it in the showrooms or with someone else.

    I don't know, I think pr0n is nearer the equivalent of soaps or x-factor or that kind of thing ... mindless drivel which we watch for stress relief / to relax. We know it's not real, sometimes if the show is good we wish for a minute or two that it were, but then we turn it off and get on with the clean-up and the rest of our lives.


    More seriously, while the contention that men think about sex twice as much as men seems believable, historically the woman's sex drive has been greatly under-estimated, even socially denied and suppressed, and there are still hang-ups from that era around (the classic one, the man who sows his wild oats is generally applauded by his peers; the woman who harvests for more than one farmer is still designated a slut).

    Plus the level of sex-drive varies from man to man, and from woman to woman.

    I've encountered women with sex drives far higher than mine, and I've always been a horny baxtard!

    I don't think its about honesty. Women are just more discreet about it.

    I'd reckon that women think about sex just as much as we do.

    I think you meant penises there when you said "shoes". Easy mistake to make.

    Show me a pair of shoes with the depth and longevity of Fallout 3 and I'll accept that.

    This! ^

    Also as you said, it varies from person to person, and changes over time depending on circumstances.

    I can only speak for myself but as for me personally, I've never identified with the descriptions most use for women's sex drives (e.g. that it needs some kind of story or context to be sparked, that it's not on our minds every couple of hours, etc.)

    if you hear/see a guy you instantly think "would I?" with men its more "I would. would you?"
