Women learned along time ago, that they can get what they want, by not just 'giving it out' like men do.Chaz D said:Hey, women are obssessed with it too.Not Good said:Seeing as there is an abundance of topics on the subject of women, I decided to make one about a fault of man: sex drive.
So why do you think men (and if you are a burly man, you) are obsessed with the goal of sex.
I for one think it dates back to the fact that in most insect colonies, any male organism has literally one purpose: to mate. This theory holds strong going up to mammalian animals like Gorillas and Lions.
The difference is, women know when they can get it, whether it's reasonable to go for it, and are in almost complete control of it.
Men on the other hand don't tend to think ahead like that. We're not great multi-taskers.
This it right.Fineldar said:Brains say to pass on your genetic code, AND SO WE SHALL!
Biological imperatives and pleasure make something hard to resist. Hard to resist not meaning we struggle with raping people, of course.
From what I've read it's a little more complicated than that. Women in fact have a couple competing desires. Firstly, they want to get the best genetic...sample they can. That means getting it from Big Strong Alpha Male. However, Big Strong Alpha Male, by his very nature as the alpha male, is very unlikely to hang around, especially for kids. This leaves the woman in a pickle: she needs a man who'll raise these kids. In many cases, she'll then go with Reliable Loser (to put it harsher than it is) who will love her and his kids - or are they? This theory partly explains the drive for adultery, at least on the female side of that issue: you play around with the milkman, but stick with your hubby, who you know will stay with you. In other words, women can't be checked off as the monogamous sex; they have their own biological imperatives towards playing around.matrix3509 said:The difference in the sex drive of a man and woman is this:
The male's biological imperative is to spread his seed to as many willing females as he possibly can.
The female's biological imperative is to seek out the single best male with which to share her genes. This is the female's way of enacting semi-population control, thereby insuring the species doesn't become ruled be genetic deformities and mental retardation.
Obviously, this biological programming has become somewhat (greatly) diluted over the past millienia.
If the internal programming of people were actually that efficient, the earth would be ruled by scientists by now, with the jock becoming extinct after the second generation.
Of course. hehe hehe heheFineldar said:Brains say to pass on your genetic code, AND SO WE SHALL!

I'm male, and I really don't think I'm any more interested in sex than most women I know. In fact, when they get the chance, they talk to me about a lot more graphic stuff than the kind of crap I get from other guys.Not Good said:Seeing as there is an abundance of topics on the subject of women, I decided to make one about a trait of man: sex drive.

This analogy is bordering the offensive. Please note that male animals as well as men are quite a bit more than cum dispensers.I for one think it dates back to the fact that in most insect colonies, any male organism has literally one purpose: to mate. This theory holds strong going up to mammalian animals like Gorillas and Lions.
Pain: it's the physical manifestation of a biological imperative. But no one actually thinks "This kettle is hot; maybe I should let go of it before the heat seriously damages my physical structure." Sex drives are the same thing: the body grasping humans by the (funnily enough) balls rather than the mind. People can talk away the voice in their head but a deep physical urge - that gets to you.GothmogII said:Biological imperative...see, I know that's the underlying cause of why people find things attractive. However, who in the hell actually has that thought in the forefront of their mind?
When people see someone attractive are they saying to themselves: He/She would make a good mate!
When people are dating what's going through their heads: Must continue species!
When people are looking to get married: We need to be biologically compatible!
I mean...are you people honestly saying that the science of actively looking for someone is actually the primary thought in your head rather than 'Hey, that guy/girl is pretty hot!'?
Humans may be animals, but hell, I thought we at least had enough dignity to not think of ourselves as little more than sex organs on legs at the end of the day. Why the need to over-analyse things?
Yes, but there's a difference. Sex doesn't just happen, you have to have two people willing to engage in the act, it's not an uncontrollable urge like pain, if you get hit with a pipe, yes, you instinctively react, you get turned on you don't try and have sex with the first applicable person you see.Saskwach said:Pain: it's the physical manifestation of a biological imperative.

Personally, I wish pain could be a bit more polite about its messages. Something like "hey, let go of the kettle quick and I won't zap you with all the pain receptors in your left hand".
Oh yeah, properly place those parentheses! Don't stop there, I'm almost there... ALMOST THERE!GyroCaptain said:Grammar IS sex.Gormourn said:I'm, for one, obsessed with GRAMMAR.
Oh yes, you dirty, dirty vowels. Wrap those prepositions around me again.
...I think I'm significantly less obsessed with sex than most. I mean, it doesn't come up.
i agree with what you say about thinking about it for the same amount of times, but women pretty much get it as much as men if not more, the thing is with todays society women don't like to be perceived as easy but they will still sleep around and not tell anyone, even their best friends!!!SuperFriendBFG said:Sorry, anyways men and women think about sex for the same amount of time every day, it's just that men get it more often, but we don't think about it for as long and women get it less often and they think about it for a longer period of time. I have no idea if anyone will understand what I said but yeah.
Why are women obsessed with wearing miniskirts and tube tops and drinking and then not sex? And of course the real attention grabber is the tattoo they have about 1/4 inch above their butt crack and then WE the MEN get yelled at for taking notice.Not Good said:Seeing as there is an abundance of topics on the subject of women, I decided to make one about a trait of man: sex drive.
