[quote=spdrun]Both men and women are interested in sex. It’s OK. We’re designed to be. If G-d didn’t intend us to enjoy it, she’d have designed us to work something like: we need to have sex, or we die. (Sort of like ferrets, or Vulcan Pon Farr.)
Stop conditioning women that interest in sex is something bad, evil, or “slutty.” There’s nothing wrong with being interested in sex — in fact, this country would likely be a better place if people have more time for good sex (and proper knowledge of/lack of shame about birth control).
Why the Puritanical view that sex is something people should be less interested in? The issue is CONSENT, not sex. If women were conditioned to be more clear about what they wanted and when the were interested, things would be a lot less ambiguous regarding consent.[/quote]
It’s not conditioning, it’s biology. To take the evolutionary biology approach, as you seem to be doing, think about the strategy that each gender would use to transmit the highest number of offspring into the next reproducing generation. For a long time sex equaled babies and pregnancy was a dangerous thing. A friend of mind from Java said that there was a saying that a pregnant woman has one foot in the grave (obviously very recent advances in medicine have changed this, but that has not had time to have an evolutionary effect.) Women have been bred to be picky – there are much higher risks. Read The Selfish Gene (Richard Dawkins) https://www.amazon.com/Selfish-Gene-Popular-Science/dp/0192860925/ref=nodl_
