How female sexuality differs to male sexuality

Many hetero­sexuals like the fact that the opposite sex is funda­ment­ally different. Both our sexu­ality and our emotional responses differ.

Men are macho, some­times a little insens­itive, largely disin­ter­ested in how they look, social issues or chil­dren. Women are pretty, some­times a little controlling, largely disin­ter­ested in getting dirty, doing battle or anything remotely technical.

When we gener­alise we need to be careful not to imply that Continue reading

Male nudity does not cause female sexual arousal

The naked male body can be a beau­tiful sight and yet our hetero­sexual society is domin­ated by images of women’s bodies. The ancient Greeks were more relaxed about homo­sexu­ality and statues indicate their appre­ci­ation of the sensual male nude.

Gay men certainly appre­ciate the naked male, including male genitals but women are often offended by nudity, espe­cially genitals, and so nudity is censored in our society.

What if female sexuality truly equalled male sexuality?

Imagine the scen­ario: a man and a woman facing each other, naked, in a world where men and women have an identical sex drive.

So, of course, they are both standing there with an erec­tion. Just to be clear: the man has an erect penis and the woman has an erect clitoris.

Would they mutu­ally choose to engage in vaginal inter­course? No because inter­course does not stim­u­late Continue reading

The marvel of male sexuality

The film ‘The Way We Were’ (1973) stars Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford (the Brad Pitt of my mother’s generation).

She’s the young woman from a humble back­ground driven by polit­ical ideals; he’s the young man from a priv­ileged family who has no ideals. Of course she’s a virgin and she ends up one night with him in the bed naked. He’s so drunk that he’s just thrown up Continue reading

Women who appear to want sexual pleasure

When I was 21, I met an Italian boy of the same age during a stay in Rome. Alfredo cared about how he dressed and would often check his appear­ance in the mirror.

I teased him because I had always been taught that personal vanity was undesir­able. Alfredo wore designer sunglasses in the day but one evening as we were going out, I saw that he was wearing Continue reading

Why do women not always appreciate displays of male sexuality?

I have never seen any reason to be embar­rassed about my body. I am pretty. I have sensual skin that browns easily and a sexy figure. My parents were always relaxed about nudity.

So when I was eighteen, out in the South of France for the summer, I enjoyed going top-less sunbathing. Why have those bikini lines that make your breasts look like icebergs? One day, as I Continue reading

Male sexuality involves a high sex drive

Faking illus­trates how women are more concerned about keeping their part­ners happy or not appearing inad­equate than they are about reaching orgasm. Other­wise, they would admit their problem and try to find a solution.

Like­wise, the debate over which body part needs to be stim­u­lated for female orgasm arises because many women don’t know how to orgasm.

It is unthink­able that a man would not Continue reading
