For centuries, women were considered insatiable sexual creatures, seducing men and robbing them of their potency. If you read such tomes as The Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of Witches), it delineates the carnality of women, and witches, in particular. During the Renaissance (and before) it was considered necessary for a woman to orgasm in order to get pregnant--and sex was for procreation--so it was a husband's duty to make sure that she did.

It wasn't until the discovery that the ovaries released eggs that women started being told that we don't like sex. It reached the apex during the Victorian era when women were not allowed to be sexual, or nice women weren't; there were loads of whorehouses in London, more than at any other time in history. Women's public sexuality didn't have a resurgence until the 1960s and the advent of the Pill.

Strangely, it was men who said women were sexual to the point of being predators. It was men who subsequently said women didn't like sex. It was women who started taking back their sexuality.

Sex was thought to drain men, make them weak. The French call the act the "petit morte," the "little death," but that was applied to men, not women. Even masturbation was thought to weaken men.

I like your thoughts....Gwendollyn.....for me I believe it is a power issue......as a male..we are taught to be the leaders and in nature we are...so be it...but women hold a very strong power over us as men so how can we be leaders when we are controlled by our own emotion for women.... I believe males try to minimize that power by putting down female sexuality.....such as the victorian ages......married women the good ones were not suppose to enjoy sex and therefore no power over the man....as for the whorehouses....well when women give it up for money there is no challenge no risk no rejection therefore no power..... looka t these beutiful women who exude sexuality....they will tellyou that guys are afraid toapproach them...most guys would be afraid to be rejected and therefore hurting their power...whichis why guys like sluts over nice girls.....no power no control......

It's been a long ass time since I paid a womans way. I will if she just doesn't have all that much, but hell, if the girl I was with had a job, she'd be paying her own way.

1. Since sex means more to them, they need to hide this since it makes them more vulnerable.

I don't think women really want that power, though... not many women are attracted to guys they have total control over.

Actually girls do alot of things for men that pleasure them.

If you are romancing women as a chore to get laid, you are missing out on the fun.

Actually, women don't like just having sex w/ someone. Women want lovemaking and there is a big difference. Romance and seduction will do it for every woman every time!

I'm gonna get so much hate mail for this.
