Relationships

As a group, men tend to want multiple partners, or at least some variation. Women typically like the idea of complete commitment better.

Women usually want kids ealier in the relationship. Women find it easier to devote their lives to the kids once they have them. After all, they are the fruit of their labor and sacrifice.

In general, one could say that most relationship problems stem from the fact that men expect more sex, while women need more intimacy. Women also tend to be more monogamous than men. It has to do with education, societal prejudice, and evolution theory.

There is no doubt in my mind that the best sex is with a loved and trusted person. There is no doubt that sex gets better as a relationship deepens. There is no doubt that trust helps relationships. Yet, there are still plenty of reasons why people may be interested in things other than monogamy. One is curiosity and experimentation.

I do not have conclusive proof that there is a deficit of sexually available women. But everything I see, points that way. (Although as women get older, that may change).

• Prostitutes are usually women
• Nude magazines usually show women and usually are bought by men
• Any kind of sexual entertainment is mostly attended by men
• Chat lines, dating services and personals are overwhelmingly used by men
• Men are three times more likely than women to miss sex in their marriage

In a relationship, it is usually the weaker one who want the commitment.

Virginity has lost its appeal. It is now often considered a sign of being either hopelessly unattractive, or of a low sex drive. The latter is considered a medical or metal condition, which can sometimes be addressed with medication or therapy.

Men tend to be better than women at separating love and sex.

Prudeness is often due to psychological problems raher than virtue.

Jealousy is always wrong. It is the result of uncertainty.

Men like sex, women like intimacy. Women pay more attention to feeling secure. Men prefer diversity.

Men are afraid of commitment. Really not willing to give up right to sexual variety.

Most men would like to sleep with many women, but they live their lives trying to act as if they did not.

Most men would like an open marriage arrangement; most women probably would not.

What seems to bother men the most in women, are the mixed signals. Dressing sexy, acting sexy, but having no interest in sexual advances.

A little thing that can really confuse men, is the fact that women generally like to look attractive, even when they are not trying to attract anyone. Men are different. If a man spends any effort on his appearance, he probably has some very specific reason.

A typical situation in personal ads is that there are 3 times more men than women, and that half the men are married. Don't believe me? Try out any free on-line dating service.

According to some recent research, women are starting to cheat almost as much as men do. The thought may make some panic, but it is actually not a bad thing. It shows that women are getting more interested in sex.

As far as capabilities, men and women are essentially equal. However, as far as sensitivities and behavior, there can be some significant differences.

Denying your basic, animal urges, is genrally a bad idea. As humans, we cannot break with our origins.

In general, men still fall for women who look pretty, while women fall for character, a sense of humor and success.

In order to fix the deficit of available females versus needy males, it is important that women be encouraged rather than discouraged to be sexually active.

In the end, our behavior is determined to a great extent by our hormones. The younger we are, the more so.

It can be hard for a man to comprehend why a woman would want to be incredibly sexy, yet may not be particularly interested in sex.

Men an women are not the same. Men have more testosterone, which makes them feel horny all the time. It also makes them lose their hair faster. Women have more estrogen, which makes them fall in love with little babies.

Men tend to be able to separate love and sex much more than women. A man can be in love with someone, yet still have sex with someone else.

Most men complain about their wives not being interested in sex.

A lot of women hate to be treated as sex objects, while most men would be thrilled if they were.

A person's sex drive has a lot to do with their personality. Whether they are extroverts or introverts, whether they are ambitious or not, whether they have high self-confidence or not, whether they are very independent or not.

Being attractive to a great extent is a matter of attitude. That is not only true for men, but for women too.

Just like in most other species, men have more of an urge to fight than women. Men tend to fight for women. In today's society, some of that urge is redirected into competition on a professional level. Some of it is redirected through sports, which otherwise may have absolutely no use (like football). But it is clear that the more a man has access to women, the less aggression he will have to be towards other men.

Men are often confused. On the one hand, they want a woman with a high sex drive. But if the woman has too high a sex drive, they become afraid she might be a slut, and they treat her with disdain. Worse, men are scared to death that their woman might sleep with someone else. They would rather marry a woman with no sex drive than risk marrying one who might cheat on them, even if the latter is rally the one they would prefer.

Men like sexual diversity.

Men tend to see women as a conquest. They sometimes have an urge to sleep with a lot of women, just to be able to say they did so.

Naturally, men tend to be more promiscuous than women. Some of it is learned, but most of it is the result of millions of years of evolution.

Ovecoming perfectionism. The perfectionism of some women about their body actually often prevents them from enjoying it.

People with low self-esteem will be much more likely to have a low sex drive, or to actually avoid sex altogether.

Sometimes low self-esteem results in women consenting to sex they are not really interested in.

Testosterone is the hormone that causes sex drive and aggressiveness. It is predominantly a male hormone, but women produce it too. The interesting thing is that as women take on more responsibilities professionally, their testosterone levels (and sex drive) often go up.

Men and women do not think alike. Our brains are affected by hormones, and the hormones are not the same in men and in women.

Men and women may have equal capabilities, but they are not equal. The brain has a gender. The brain is influenced by hormones, and hormones are gender-specific.

Men are really not that hard to please. Provided everything else in a relationship is reasonably adequate, what will really make a man fall head over heels in love, is great sex.

Women are typically somewhat harder to please. They usually place more importance on affection, feeling appreciated, feeling admired, admiring their man and other factors that are harder to quantify than sex.

Women typically need a feeling of security more than men do. Afer all, women are physiologically conditioned to be mothers, and mothers need security in order to raise children.

Women tend to love sugar more than men do. Men tend to like protein (red meat) more.

Men are attracted to women who look healthy.

Women tend to be attracted to men with healthy genes, which in practice shows up as a symmetrical body and features.

Women hate to be seen as sex objects. Men typically do not. Actually, most men would love it.

Besides having a higher sex drive, high testosterone women tend to gain less weight. Maybe that is a reason why men seem to be naturally attracted to skinnier women.

The need to drive big trucks or shoot guns has been associated with sexual urges by at least some psychologists.

We live in a society that values aggressive males, yet frowns upon sexual promiscuity.

Winning makes the human body produce more testosterone, leading to an increased sex drive. Stress, in many cases, seems to consume testosterone. That is why power tends to be the best aphrodisiac.

New research into the psychology and physiology of sex, may eventually lead to new ways for people to interact with each other. It may lead to new views about marriage, and even new ways in which suburbs are organized.

It is great when sex and love go together, but it does not always have to be that way. Men seem to have an easier time decoupling the two than women do.

Men have very fragile egos. Two kinds of women can terrify a man:

• A woman they want or cannot have
• A woman they can have but cannot satisfy

Women commonly accuse men of looking for someone better as soon as they have found someone.

Women tend to be more interested in movies that talk about relationships, while men tend to prefer action movies.
