Men are certainly not offended by sex. It seems to me, that one way or another, the silent female population has its say.
The overwhelming majority of women answered that sex meant a great deal to them, and the reason almost always given was because it was a wonderful form of intimacy and closeness with another human being. (Shere Hite)
Jane, thanks for your question, Why is sex taboo? and your elaborations on it I follow you when you say that "the overwhelming majority of women answered that sex meant a great deal to them, and the reason almost always given was because it was a wonderful form of intimacy and closeness with another human being". To put it simple, for the majority of men sex a means to express their sense of autonomy and dominance over women and is mainly linked to biological and libidinal reasons. For the majority of women, sex is a means to express their sense of intimacy and is mainly linked to emotional reasons. it is sad that the most known developmental theories, S. Freud's theory of sexual development; J. Piaget theory of cognitive development; and L. Kohlberg's theory are flawed and biased against women.
I agree. Men are sexual. Women are emotional. That means that women are not aroused with a lover and not having orgasms. Hence why they are sexually passive and why we think that women should orgasm from the stimulation that men provide. But orgasm depends on the mental arousal of the person having the orgasm. Not their partner's arousal.
Yes, Jane. I think we both are right. The issue under discussion, however, is a highly debated and hot topic.
Over many years, I have found that only men comment on sexual pleasure and eroticism. Women talk of a loving relationship. This is a key difference between the sexes. Few women ever comment on orgasm. Usually men talk of female orgasm because of the turn-on. Women seem to associate eroticism, orgasm & sexual pleasure with male sexuality & pornography.
Yes, Jane, I follow your idea that there "this is a key difference between the sexes. Few women ever comment on orgasm. Usually men talk of female orgasm because of the turn-on. Women seem to associate eroticism, orgasm & sexual pleasure with male sexuality & pornography."
Thanks Orlando for your support. Fantasy seems to stand in the way of most people acknowledging basic truths about women's sexuality.
