Women Do Not Enjoy Sex

starbelgrade

Or so says Stephen Fry....

The openly homosexual broadcaster said it was clear that women had no interest in sex from the fact that they do not go out seeking casual encounters in graveyards or on Hampstead Heath.

He claimed that women only go to bed with men “because sex is the price they are willing to pay for a relationship”. He said: "If women liked sex as much as men, there would be straight cruising areas in the way there are gay cruising areas. Women would go and hang around in churchyards thinking: 'God, I've got to get my f

rocks off', or they'd go to Hampstead Heath and meet strangers to shag behind a bush.

“It doesn't happen. Why? Because the only women you can have sex with like that wish to be paid for it."

He continued: "I feel sorry for straight men. The only reason women will have sex with them is that sex is the price they are willing to pay for a relationship with a man, which is what they want.

“Of course, a lot of women will deny this and say, 'Oh no, but I love sex, I love it!' But do they go around having it the way that gay men do?"

Hmm. Has Fry got a point, or is he just trolling?

So some ****ing paper misquotes a humorous interview I gave, which itself misquoted me and now I'm the Antichrist. I give up.

"women don't enjoy sex" says a gay man according to the press who like to pick up on every second word and run with it like it was the gods truth.

(Edited in light of the tweet above)

biko

So just because women don't act like gay men they don't like sex?
Logic fail from Fry.

prinz

More to do with the behaviour of certain gay men than straight women tbh. If that's what he is getting at he is 100% correct.

There aren't "straight cruising areas" like Hampstead Heath, etc because the whole world is a straight cruising area. I've been hit on in just about every area of my life and when I was single if I was interested in a man I would let him know my interest no matter where we were.

The reason that specific cruising areas for gay men came about is because it can be dangerous for a man to hit on another man if he isn't sure of his sexuality. In the past it was illegal and even now some people are so bigoted/homophobic that they treat a show of interest from someone of the same sex as a slur rather than a compliment.

Though I assume someone as obviously intelligent as Fry knows this and was making a joke which is being misrepresented.

Obviosly I am no expert, being a male n all but I would imagine its a lot to do with women of course like sex as much as men but women have a much more emotional attachment to sex and so the thoughts of quickies with random men would not appeal to the majority of women. The average single bloke would take it whilst they can and have no wish to consider the consequences.

Not all women are like that of course, the same as not all men like one night stands. But as a general rule of thumb I would say its not a bad one.

I work under the assumption that whatever I think about women is wrong. It saves me being told.

He was joking.

i think thats a reasonable conclusion when you consider

men want it 5 times a day and women want it once a month....

If I was a celebrity I'd tape all my interviews and then release the tapes publicly if I felt I was misquoted.

See how some ****ing journalist likes trolling and leading questions being put out in the public domain to make them look like a heel.

N.B. Working under the assumption that S. Fry was genuinely misquoted.

hobochris

I have a few thoughts on this:

1. Stephen Fry must be **** in the sack.

2. Gay men, Straight men and women all tend to have different mindsets.

3. I've herd many a time 'In a relationship man needs sex to feel loved, a Woman needs to feel loved to have sex.'

4.Stephen Fry must be **** in the sack.

Usually a clear case of quality dictating quantity...

liah

Yeah, as much as Fry may find women an alien species this does not seem at all like anything he would actually say with intent. He's a comedian and a very intelligent one at that, but everyone messes up. He's only human and happened to say something without thinking it through.

I'd imagine once he comes out of his swing he'll clear it up. It would be very odd for him to actually mean something like that.

PanchoVilla

Meh, who cares what he thinks? He's gay, what does he know about sex with women? It's like Hugh Hefner saying all gay men like to eat da poo poo.

Edit: And what's this obsession with Stephen Fry anyway? Ok, he's funny enough but he's not some sort of god or anything. I really hate this fúcking celebrity culture, it's drives me mental sometimes.

I laughed out loud when i read that in the guardian.

Hes a comedian, youre not ment to take it seriously ted. they might as well say 'Fry listens in on bar conversation, accuses an englishman, an irishman and a scotsman'

Capt'n Midnight

If only that misquote had been in the Daily Mail

KnifeWRENCH

Like people have said already, he was joking.

....but if he wasn't, then we'd have no choice but to agree and accept his word.

Stephen Fry > All of us.

Women respond to sex in different ways and definitely have different priorities.,

He has a point but only in the way that I think women enjoy sex more if there is an emotional attachment involved whereas men seem to find it easier to seperate love and sex. But this is obviously a very general statement.

Thank god women don't behave like gay men. Every bar in the land would just be a dark room.

jackiebaron

Women don't go in search of casual sex near where they live because they don't want to be stigmatised as "easy" or "slutty" because of the unfortunate, well, stigmatisation that exists in our society. They don't want to get a bad reputation in their social circle. However when they head off to Ibiza or Magaluff they shag themselves silly and that's just fine by me, bless their little hearts. They can go off on an anonymous two-week booze and shag bender and nobody can tell me they are in search of a relationship.

Stephen Fry hasn't a clue ,my missus loves it trust me;)

Don't think you can generalize so much

Would dogging not be the equivalent to what Fry was talking about

There is a real cult of personality around him that I don't understand either. He was a lot funnier 20 yrs ago than he is now.

I doubt it.. have a feeling he's probably on a "down."

Wibbs

Not another one. I do like him but sweet jesus he is bloody precious at times.

Rabble Rabble

He is talking about the free wheeling male gay lifestyle, as opposed to the female version of settling. Let's take cottaging. Doesn't happen hetrosexually.

Can't go onto communal jacks in london and expect my dick sucked off by a woman, it is easy enough for gay men. ( Of course in a heterosexual cottage the gory holes would be big enough for some reciprocation - at least some fingering).

so why dont women pop in Jacks to suck of, or get fingered in a glory hole?

The point about dogging is it always couples. Single mean cannot turn up and expect to find single women there at the same ratio. In fact single men are banned, more or less, and that is true of most sex clubs too. And on sex sites the ratio of men to women is 10-1.

(Well unless there is money involved.)

There's an in yer endo in there somewhere, I just know it.

I think he was making fun of the idea that all gay men are always horny and riding all the time in toilets and bushes.

Just noticed that.. He no longer has the 'Verified Account' seal on his page either. I'm a big fan of his but do actually wish he'd cut back on his twittering and focus more on the stuff that endeared him so much to people in the first place.

Although, this time last year - http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article6898420.ece

*roflmao

As a woman, I have to admit he's got a point. Why can't we have straight cruising areas? I would LOVE that!!!
But as things are, you get strange looks just for telling people that you like to f*ck people other than your husband.

liah

He may have quit temporarily but my guess is that this caught him at bad timing.

There's two things we know about Stephen:

1) He loves Twitter and being technologically linked to people. He's a nerd.
2) He's manic depressive/bi-polar to a fairly serious degree.

Chances are he'll be back when he goes into an up swing. I doubt he'd be able to resist the internet for very long, especially Twitter.

He has been quiet the last few weeks, think he is away on a film set.

Stephen Fry - Joking?

You mean he wasn't intelligent enough to see the reaction which has now left him pissed off.

Simple evolutionary reasons why women don't want sex as often as men.

Oh jesus. His name is Stephen Fry. I typed Stephen. I'm clearly just so presumptuous, how dare I!

Stephen is faster to type than Stephen Fry. We are on the topic of Stephen Fry. It can be assumed that the Stephen I was referring to was that of the Fry nature.

Colloquial speaking isn't a crime.

Plus, I find titles kinda outdated.
