If Women Love Sex as Much as Men

Why not have sex on the very first date?

Is it because men are celebrated for having lots of sex and women are still called whores for engaging in the same behavior?

Is it because women need to feel that a man wants her for more than her body, but men don’t think that way?

Why does this double standard persist so stubbornly?

If an attractive man can easily get women to drool over them, why would these super-studs ever wait for sex?

Sure, some men and women play coy, but if you’re a woman looking for a man to love you for more than sex, how does waiting until the 3rd, 4th, or 5th date, prove his love will last any more than if you had slept with him on the first date?

Is it possible, that men and women will never align on this issue?

Maybe men — deep inside — also don’t want to be used for their bodies (please keep a straight face.)

Is there something about sex itself that makes it more emotionally, psychologically, and physically more intense and meaningful for women than for men?

Maybe.

I think our popular culture, social media pressure, and ongoing vestiges of patriarchy, are largely to blame for stigmatizing women.
