Hmm…let’s think about this here. Is the difference in sexual practices/supposed urges of men and women biological or cultural?[/quote]
It’s both, but biology is more primal than culture. What is true about women in terms of their biology apples to women of all cultures.
I don’t think women are capable of being just as horny as men because they simply haven’t got the equipment to feel pleasure the way men do! They haven’t got real penises!
Also, I disagree with your point about women’s capacity for having multiple O’s and what this says about their sexuality. I am convinced, without doubt, that the reason women can “orgasm” multiple times is because their orgasms are nowhere near as intense as the male version. Women’s orgasms are equivalent to the weak versions experienced by pre-pubescent males. If we are define all O’s by this weak standard, then men orgasm dozens of times in every sexual encounter and easily beat their female counterparts.

How did it get to be a social thing in the first place? Society builds on the foundation laid by biology. That’s how.
You are likely getting hit on by some women who are simply interested in your money. This happens all the time TO men from women, but practically never FROM men to women.

It is a power play and it is easily reversed. If you are in a long term relationship and your parter withholds sex turn the tables. It works.[/quote]
Your logic doesn’t hold. A true power play exploits some advantage that one person has over another. Therefore, withholding sex can only be a power play if one person wants it more than the other. If they both wanted it to the same extent, then they would both be equally deprived, and thus neither person would be in an advantageous position over the other. There is no doubt that withholding sex is a power play, but in order for this to be true, you must also accept that men and women do not have equal sex drives.

You appear to be confusing things.
Men need to orgasm to impregnate women so men easily orgasm.
While female orgasm can help her get pregnant it is by no means necessary.[/quote]
Orgasms can be considered for their biological function (insemination) or for their pleasure aspect. It was the latter that I was addressing. I do not believe I have anything confused.
I think that you and others who hold the belief of gender parity on the sexual level must be living on a different planet. Take 10 average women and 10 average men. You offer each one of them the opportunity to sleep with a member of the opposite sex. Then you compare the rate of acceptance of this proposal from one gender to another. Isn’t it a given that the rate of acceptance will be skewed heavily towards the male side? This is a very simple demonstration of the biological fact that women do not derive as much physical pleasure from sex as men do, and thus are nowhere near as inclined to partake in sexual acts.

That is absolutely ridiculous. Now a woman is simply a male enuch. And because she has a different biological structure that makes her sex drive lower? The clit is still a sex orgasm. Stimulation leads to orgasm. And women have vaginal orgasms as well. Does a man with a small penis have a lower sex drive than a large penis? And here’s a much simpler explanation for why women have been subservient to men historically. Women, in general, are smaller and weaker. Until very recently, size and strength have been put at a great premium. Lo and behold, as other factors have become increasingly important for us a a species to thrive and have succesful societies, women have made great strides.[/quote]
What’s so ridiculous? It’s biology. Science. What I have written is true. Hormone levels are pretty much all that seperates the sexes.
Women haven’t got “different” biological structures, per se. The use of that word conjures up an invisible wall of seperation that can never be surmounted. But that’s malarkey, because men and women aren’t “seperate” entities, they are merely opposing ends of the same spectrum, with the only real difference between them coming in the form of hormones. Hormones can be altered.
There are features of both sexes that are considered structurally analagous to one another in biology. Their embryonic development is the same or very similiar, and they are constructed from the same tissues. The penis and the clit are one example. The testes and the ovaries are another. Such comparisons can be made between all gender-specific bodyparts.
It horrifies most men to think of their female partners as nothing more than male eunuchs wearing face paint and a dress, but biologically speaking, that statement is perfectly accurate. Welcome to the 21st century. It’s a brave new world.

What I have written about can be associated with Buddhism, Transcendentalism, and various Eastern schools of thought.
Nothing you say or do can disprove the validity of what I wrote. There are no guarantees in life, there is no way to control the future, and therefore, all promises are lies. Hope is “the currency of the weak”, to quote one social philosopher.
To overcome the weakness imposed by one’s mental “spooks” is to be an enlightened person.
