So what turns her on? … A man who makes her feel ‘safe’ and treats her like she is a vital part of his very existence, and not just a favourite sperm dumpsite. (Yangki Akiteng)
No,... it's matter of personal training imparted by parents and grand parents which makes the understand their point in general.
But it is not the case of everyone...some are very respectable to each other and some are aware that their personal and psychological need are shaped in a manner where they love each other. A happy cohibition and state of affairs.
The Industrial Revolution lessened the labour of men and made the labour of women invisible, an expectation. Capitalistic structures survive on patriarchy and patriarchy associates all things "female or feminin" to be trivial, unimportant and in most cases, "weak".
As a consequence, all things "feminin", running a household, raising children, cleaning, cooking, etc, all tasks, all labour were considered an expectation, not a genuine input of a person performing a task associated with a role, a task that is maintaining the fragile machinery of modern society.
This ignorance is also reflected in various fields. Psychology, in its early development, was almost exclusively a male-dominated field. Once women started to take up space, it became "not as impactful". You will find this pattern in language across the globe, too. The feminisation of certain traits which are considered an insult: "pu**y", "throws like a girl", "runs like a girl", "crying like a girl". It communicates that any aspect which men find common between them and women weakens them.
A somewhat similar pattern of events can be observed in the nursing field. Nursing is predominantly female. A multitude of research shows that a good nursing staff is imperative to healing and recovery. Yet they are not considered as important when compared to a doctors.Andd we know that physicians were exclusively male for a great part of medical history.
Your traits are an amalgamation of your personality and circumstances, and your vocation is a skill you developed using your ability, which is reflective of your traits; they are a big part of your life, your self and your labour. Now, an individual whose traits you do not respect, whose labour you do not respect, whose input to society you do not respect, there is no way you will be able to truly respect that person.
Hence, under the guise of respect the majority of men provide women is the lack of balant disrespect. And even that is at risk if you rock the boat, ask too many questions, assert yourself and demand respect as an individual, not for a role that associates you with a man, may it be wife, daughter, sister etc.
Thanks for commenting! But you have avoided giving any sexual context to your reply. Male sex drive means that heterosexual men typically, especially when young, have a strong biological urge to propagate the species. This involves relieving their sexual tension (regular arousal) by ejaculating into a vagina. You could call it a genital itch. Once that itch is satisfied a man doesn't need a woman any more until the next time he needs to relieve himself. He takes the proactive role in sexual engagement, especially intercourse, so he attributes all the skill of lovemaking to himself rather than the woman. Her role is merely to supply his relief. He may show affection if he feels gratitude for her participation but this post coital gratitude tends to manifest itself only in the early days of a relationship. Once the novelty wears off a man tends to expect a woman to cooperate with his desire for intercourse. He takes her role for granted. He assumes that she must be obtaining some pleasure from the activity. He does not see the need to compensate her by treating her with respect or showing gratitude. Porn and sex educators reinforce this expectation by suggesting that women obtain sexual satisfaction from intercourse itself rather than the relationship.
But dear Ms. Thomas, are we talking the matter as a whole or prime youth. The western thought has shaped the mentality of European and American who think woman as a perverts. Nomadic religions also indicate the same factor. They are silent about the role of woman as mother but otherwise..The mental setup is what leads .Women in American sub continent are paid less wages in comparison to their counter parts. So are the European and Middle East. Which gives us a clarity about the state of affairs regarding woman...Woman can not be priest, can not seek salvation and similar alike issues.
More, the women in their prime youth treat the men as a means of self pleasure and gratification.
I am sorry but my research focus is sexuality. I understand that women have accepted an inferior social and economic position to men. This no doubt is related to the violence and aggression that heterosexual men display towards women. Gay men do not show the same behaviour because they do not seek penetrative sex from women. Men need sex and women have to provide it. That is why sex is defined in terms of intercourse and why women are considered to be dysfunctional if they do not offer a man regular intercourse. It's about understanding the different roles of the receiver (male or female) and the penetrating male. Only the penetrating male has to pay for sex because of the surplus demand from men looking for a partner who is amenable to being penetrated. This explains the male aggression and dominance. Men have to dominate a woman to reproduce. The species depends on this characteristic. Just as sexual response is a vital characteristic of male reproductive function. A woman's survival instincts motivate her to cooperate with a man and her desire for children causes her to seek out a supportive partner. Religion has little to do with sexuality. But those people, who are religious and restrict their sexual opportunities, are likely to be less responsive than those who enjoy their sexual experiences as a simple pleasure.
The need for sex or rather coupling is psycho physical action which compels both.
The point is after menopause, women are free from periodical issue and a suðen surge for coupling starts. Correct me. My respect to entire women folks but it is in a way, more of psycho physical need of living beings.
The fact comes from the psychological point of view that basically it is the childhood training and instruction imparted by his or her elders.
Earlier Indian and Russian societies stressed on this very basis of initial life process as they were aware of their remarkable role in upbringing of new born.
Sexual responsiveness is a characteristic of male reproductive function. Men become responsive (experience arousal and orgasm) after puberty. Women do not experience the same adolescent development. They get breasts and periods, which are related to their child-bearing role. No one tells us how to orgasm or how to get aroused. We have to learn this for ourselves. You are trying to engage on a topic, which you know nothing about. You need to inform yourself and read the sex research findings. Sexuality is not a topic that you are qualified to speak on in a scientific forum just because you have sex. Please see my website nosper.com or read my Twitter feed: https://x.com/LrnAbtSexuality. Alfred Kinsey and Shere Hite are the greatest researchers of all time. Their work has been ignored because it is explicit about female sexual response. Women are not nearly as sexually responsive as erotic fiction and male fantasies would like to suggest. Sex focuses on satisfying male needs. Women look for emotional connection. Read Rosemary Basson's papers which say the same everyone else is saying. Men want sex. Women want a loving relationship. While men treat women like sex objects and not people, they will not have healthy relationships.
Sorry - please provide scientific evidence! Preferably statistics or quotations from the research that has been done. I'm particularly interested in your assertion that women are sadistic towards men. How does a woman inflict physical pain on a man - during sex or at other times? Does she have to tie him up first so he cannot retaliate? Or are you suggesting that men do not fight back when a woman attacks them?

But men are the ones who act in ways that lead to them filling the prisons. There are hundreds of thousands of men imprisoned for sex related crimes. There are very few women who are imprisoned for any crime at all. You have to retain some perspective as a scientist. Men kill and rape women. It is hardly surprising that some women retaliate by defending themselves. This hatred you appear to have against women, is typical of the male reaction due to sexual rejection. You need to look at how you treat women and what you expect from them. It is not women's role to ensure that a man is sexually satisfied every day of his life. Society needs to look at how it allows and encourages women to flaunt their bodies without ever delivering male sexual satisfaction. This hoax (of women's faked enthusiasm for sex) that is reinforced by porn is condoned by men. Men want sex so desperately that they believe everything they see when it accords with their fantasies. I am providing realistic sex information to help couples set expectations for each other. You appear to be intent on a negative slant on sexuality. That is unhelpful. We cannot help what we are - human. It's about understanding the sexual and emotional differences between the sexes.
YOU have to retain some perspective as a scientist. You asked references. I sent you. And now you say they don't matter, without even reading them, because they don't fit your ideology?
An individual is not a group. Men commit more crimes and aggressions ON AVERAGE. Aggression has no sex/gender. Any individual, regardless of its sex/gender can murder, rape and abuse their mates. The difference is the frequency or how they do, not the impossibility of doing so.
Your question is what is not helpful. By asking "why do men so often treat their female partners with little respect", you are implying that abusive heterosexual men are the norm rather than the exception, while abusive females and homosexual males don't disrespect their mates. There's no scientific evidence to support such a view (there are literature reviews in the literature I sent and they show that, when researchers adopt a SCIENTIFIC approach, i.e., allow the refutation of their hypotheses, the "toxic heterosexual male" hypothesis is always refuted), and most men are respectful most of the time. By framing the problem as a gender war problem, we ignore the suffering of millions of individuals, condemn the innocent and what's worst, we deny the right of individuality to people!
Let's try to understand the issue in two perspectives.
An impotent man weds to a woman who ishighly desirous and fond of action. He being an impotent is unable to quench the thirst of a woman. The kind of treatment he gets from his woman ....I don't need to specify.... although may not be physically but physical but verbal and mental.....just image the state of trauma he will go through.
Now imagine a situation exactly opposite to it ..both are physically fit and are equally desirous of the act....there is no act of violence when engaging in act without having narsistic imagination.
Men are more physically strong and less appreciate beauty on the contrary woen folk appreciate beauty and power both.
Coming to basic question, narsistic imagination or vision can't be treated as an ideal state of affairs.
Further the problem start when woman is treated as an object of pleasure... although sadistic mental setup.
Indian culture aware well Russian in the world regard woman as their best friend for life...a marvellous person which has the capacity ti share the hits and miss of life...The western culture has always treated as second grade citizen which is absurd which means that the society at large has rejected the happy and peaceful cohibition....The need of the hour is to rectify the Outlook proposed by sectarian practices....woman is not a property woman is the best friend and mentor of man who is sensible enough to know the basic fact....😀😀😀😀. My personal regards for entire women folk
My work focuses on a constructive discussion of sexuality that is aimed at helping couples. Men and women need to accept that they have very different sexual and emotional needs. Sexual ignorance is universal and unfortunately most people prefer erotic fiction to the research findings. Men are much more interested in every aspect of sexuality than women ever are.
The undermining or violence is of three types namely
Physical.The men aptly use this method
Verbal The fair sex is more prone to it
Mental Both of the sex use aptly.
The social studies statistics indicate that more than 50 percent of suicidal attempts made by both of the sexes is due to verbal dualism. Depression is also associated with the same reason.
The best part of woman's life is that after becoming mother she is contended where as man is always on prawl.
My work does not focus on the negative aspects of human nature unless there is a constructive point to be made. I have no idea what point you are making. Some people, regardless of gender are evil or very unpleasant. Not sure what that has to do with sexuality for the rest of us. Communication is key to any relationship and there are many reasons why people do not communicate. Certainly if you want a long-term sex life, some communication is helpful. Therapists may be able to help. But information is difficult to find. I provide sex information for adults so that they can take what they want from my content if they find it helpful.
Thanks for pointing out.Let me be more explicit on the issue.
Mating is a natural process.
Whe done sensibly there is no undermining of any partner. Man is designed to serve the need of woman. While coupling process goes on there is no force which could be termed as negative.
The understanding is mutual and so is the consent.
There is no physical or verbal assault until man or woman serves the purpose so is the concept of undermining of physical or mental assault.
I agree that mating is a natural activity. But we do not need to mate every month or week or day. A woman can only be impregnated once every 9 months. A man can impregnate a different woman every day of the week. That is the biological mismatch. Men are not intended to have sex with one woman. They are naturally promiscuous. Marriage is an institution that protects women but obliges them to provide the frequency of mating activity that a man wants regardless of their own inclination. Consent is given by the receiver to the penetrating male. It is not automatic in any circumstances, even within marriage. Consent laws exist in many countries including the UK. A woman can refuse to engage in intercourse even with her husband.
You are quiet right at the point. The impragnation is quiet obvious.
If the woman feels safe with man thus the man feels the same.It is duty of a man to safeguard himself and her offsprings cautiously with much of the morality.
Infinite is the mind. Controlling mind is the first lesson taught in ancient Indian literature.
But regardless of it i am advocating complete celibacy. What happens when woman is inclined towards it and man ignores. Fear of going astray is applied on both sides which is called as human conditioning. Trespass the limit to enjoy you life
I really don't like this question. It is a loaded question with a biased and subjective generalisation that all men have a pre-disposition towards treating women badly. Please consider re-phrasing this question.
The quote provides the context. A woman is looking for a loving relationship in exchange for the regular sex that men expect. Sex is transactional and men have to compensate the receiver (male or female) for the pleasure they obtain from penetration. There is no such thing as unconditional love. We love someone because they respond to our emotional needs. Men want sex. Women want affectionate companionship. It's a compromise or a symbiotic relationship.
Unfortunately this is still a very biased opinion, positioned as a statement of fact, and it remains a generalisation, with no accounting for the diversity that exists across male-female relationships. You state that men want sex, but don't acknowledge that women also want sex. You state that women want affectionate companionship but don't acknowledge that men also want that. There is always a balance in every relationship we as human being have in terms of emotional and physical needs being met, and these needs are usually determined by childhood experiences, our maturation, matrimonial relationships and experience. There is no accountability in the statement around the diversity of interaction that occurs within relationships, or the very nature of loving relationships. Such bold assertions around mens' lack of respect for women should be reconsidered to offer a more objective, less loaded question. Sadly, it demonstrates a lack of respect for most men to even suggest this is the status quo.
The only bias in my statement is that I am a woman. As long as only men comment on sexual issues, they will always think that they are right because most women remain silent. I am providing the female perspective, which is naturally unpopular with men. The point is that men can enjoy sex without needing to have a relationship with a person - affectionate or otherwise. Affection is not critical to men's enjoyment of sex - they can pay for sex if they are so inclined. Women look for emotional connection. I am presenting the research findings - take them or leave them!
"major components of women’s sexual satisfaction: trust, intimacy, the ability to be vulnerable, respect, communication, affection, and pleasure from sensual touching" (Basson, 2000)
Sorry but I don't understand your point. I am providing a constructive discussion of sexuality to help couples understand the sexual and emotional differences between the sexes. I am providing explanations, research findings and the biological facts. Sex education is not a petty issue. It is vital to human happiness and especially to women having the confidence to tell men the truth about their sexuality, which does not accord with erotic fiction.
Best way is to see the issue is to consider the factors; 1. incline for sex/eroticism 2; seeking intimacy/companionship as vectors among the individuals on a spectrum, irrespective sex.
I am agreed. Men want sex. Women want affectionate companionship. Relationships are a matter of give and take. But the way our society promotes female sexuality, as if women respond sexually as men do, means that men are not educated in the need to respond to women's emotional needs. Men assume that providing intercourse satisfies women whereas it causes resentment because a man is taking and not giving back.
