Women Want Sex Just as Much as Men Do

When it comes to casual sex, are men and women really that different?

My girlfriend explored that question in her recent blog, which began my exploration of the subject. For starters, most people would argue that men and women are different when it comes to sex. But here is the inescapable conclusion I have come to over the years: women want sex as much as men do - however, they require different conditions for casual sex to be appealing. This has been both my observation and my experience.

Hi I saw your videos on youtube a few days ago and have been hooked!

I am learning so much that I had never know about sex and orgasms. I am a 19 year old female and my question/problem is that I am so uncomfortable around guys that I get embarrassed and nervous to even kiss guys. when I am physical with them I get so embarrassed. I have had sex with two partners and had been in monogamous relationships with them. but both have cheated on me. I am currently single and have been wanting more physical relationships without the commitment. I am both scared to commit and scared to be physical with someone I am not committed to. How can I get over this ? and is this normal?

Dear J,

Sex, and Intimacy, and BS, Oh My

The above link was recently posted on Salon.  It was written by a single 50 year old woman who had a casual sexual arrangement with an old friend.   I wanted to share this article because I could identify with the writer's concerns, but up to a point.  Now, don't mistake my italicized statement as a vehement disagreement with what the article said.  It isn't for me to agree or disagree with another's personal story.  I greatly appreciate her willingness to talk about sex, especially considering where the story was posted and the 'demographics' of some Salon readers (some of these demographics are highlighted in the comments).

Casual Sex On the Rise

When it comes down to it, relationships take a ton of time.  I never thought of the hookup as the replacement for dating...and I never thought of it as a time management issue.  Thank you NPR for this piece on Sex Without Intimacy:

The hookup - that meeting and mating ritual that started among high school and college students - is becoming a trend among young people who have entered the workaday world. For the many who are delaying the responsibilities of marriage and child-rearing, hooking up has virtually replaced dating.

It is a major shift in the culture over the past few decades, says Kathleen Bogle, a professor of sociology and criminal justice at La Salle University.

Young people during one of the most sexually active periods of their lives aren't necessarily looking for a mate. What used to be a mate-seeking ritual has shifted to hookups: sexual encounters with no strings attached.

Moms need to get off too. My high school BFF Lien and I caught up on our Catholic school girl days, group sex romps, and social networking for sex.
