When I hear sexperts on TV give advice about how to help women with theirdysfunctional sex drivesI get suspicious that we’re all feeding into the convenient male fantasy of the sexually voracious woman. (Joan Sewell)
Evidently, we are not. However, the systemic disregard for women's voices constitutes a distinct issue: the persistence of patriarchy. Like Jane, and like many others, including myself —as women— are speaking and writing about women's sexuality and health, asserting our right to define and narrate our own voices.
Thanks for commenting Parashuram! Lay people may speculate but as scientists we need to come up with evidence for our theories. You need to explain why women are shy to talk about sex while men feel empowered to talk even about female sexuality as if they know it all. Male confidence and female timidity no doubt. But men also enjoy talking about sex because they identify the topic with their own arousal, orgasm and sexual satisfaction. Women identify the topic with unrealistic male expectations, men hassling them and men insulting them. Men need to make sex a more positive topic for women by ceasing these behaviours. I hope that the information I provide via my websites, will help educate men in being more sensitive to women's concerns and their perspective as the receiver of male ejaculate.
