Women love sex just as much as men, only pressure from society stops them?

Question

I have this theory that women are just as sexual as men are. The only reason why they don't act like men is because of pressure from society.
Imagine a culture where little boys were taught that sex is immoral and bad and they must be virgins before marriage. Any guy who did have sex before marriage was as bad, unclean and given no respect by either sex. The little girls were taught that to be a "real women" they would need to have sex with as many guys as possible. And any girls who did have sex with many guys were treated with respect and admired. In this culture the media also protrays this message over and over again.
Now in a cultural like this do you think the sexual behavior of men and women would be different?
Really think about this, I think the sexual behavior of men and women is largely because current socialization. What do you guys think?

Answer 1

Not so much a question as a statement and I don't agree on all points. I think your argument would have been more valid a hundred years ago when in the upper class men had mistresses with whom they would enjoy sex while their wives were expected to be little more than brood mares. Mothers told their daughters to just lie back and think of England as they weren't expected to enjoy sex and only to endure it. I think that society has improved over the years in this regard and that today women are much more free to express themselves and their enjoyment of sex without being considered to be fallen women, except by the chronically repressed who seem to be always with us.

Answer 2

I agree, but probably not in the way you want me to. I agree that if women have a lot of sex they're nasty and if men have a lot of sex they're studs and I agree that it is wrong for society to have this double standard. But I think everyone is oversexed to begin with. Everyone's gotta have it, but why? Is your life that sad that you gotta have it now? But maybe it's the fact that there are fewer marriages so they gotta get it somewhere. I just think if everyone is so worried about the spread of aids like they say they are, shouldn't they be more concerned with controlling the sex factor instead of selling it AND condoms and then telling everyone to "take a test"?

Answer 3

The fact is a woman has to let a man inside her body during sex. It makes women very selective or it should. Women have lots more expectations of sex than men do. Men just want to go for it. Women are much more complex by nature, no matter how vacuous they may seem to be on the surface.

Answer 4

I do think you have a point there but at the same time women generaly do not have the same sex drive as men. yes sex can be very pleasent with the right man but women are looking for a good father not to make babys every where.

Answer 5

I think that that is very true but i still think guys like sex a little more still. Like with some women if the guy isnt good they do their fake orgasms and all that just to get it over with but guys, even if the girl is horrible at it they are still having a good ol time.

Answer 6

Sorry to dissappoint you, but from my experience, women in general have far less of a sex drive than men do. There are exceptions to this of course- there are some women who can't get enough....LOL. But don't think that just because women want sex less often that we enjoy it less! It's true that society has "forbidden" sexual promiscuity for women in the past, but our culture today is far more open. In fact, the media would have you believe that women are just as sexually charged as men, even more so (makes for good entertainment!) But, ask 100 women and they will tell you- men are hornier more OFTEN than women. But...it could be that men fail to turn us on properly- Men tend to think that women function sexually the same way they do. For a man, all he needs is to see a naked body part, or even THINK about one and he's "hard" and ready to go. Women on the other hand, need more complex stimulation than that. Women get horny in their MINDS before they get horny in their pants. Turn on my mind, and you'll turn on my body!!!! I can't tell you how many times my sig. other has came up to me and basicly started humping me, expecting me to be turned on immediately. (Sometimes the training process is sloooowww...LOL!!!) Anyway, women are biologically different from men and require far more stimulation to become aroused than men do! Therefore, women experience "horniness" far less often than men since more stimulation is required.

Answer 7

When you have an itch in your ear and you put your finger in it to ease the pain...which feels better? Your finger or your ear? Goes to show you that women enjoy the sex a whole lot more than men. Men just want it more often...sometimes.

Answer 8

I think it all depends on the parents.

I do not agree that "society" teaches kids to be virgins (boys or girls) in fact it looks quite opposite for both. In fact It seem that more and more women are going away from that trend.

Just my opinion.

Answer 9

Sorry. I disagree with you. There are women who DO ACT like men and sleep with multiple partners, unashamedly.

You must be in the east...because out here in the west it's very common...go to london on a weekend night and all you see are scantily dressed women with liquor in their hands walking in the roads loud and drunk.

Answer 10

i think that society now is sickening with the way they potray sex. movies tv and music make it out to be a recreational activity instead of being between two pple that truley love eachother and are united as one. its basically a compliment if a man calls you his ***** and disrespects you. the pressure on the younge generation is tremendous and ridiculous. i think women want it more or just the same as men. socitey makes it out that it cool to be a slut. what i say to them... go to church
