"Well, yes, they do. Study after study shows that men's sex drives are not only stronger than women's, but much more straightforward. The sources of women's libidos, by contrast, are much harder to pin down."

Any study I've ever come across on the subject suggests generally men prioritize the physical act of sex more so than women. If there is evidence to the contrary than by all means share. Despite what you may assume I'm actually open to changing my position on this if there is good evidence that I'm wrong.

Again I am not saying that women aren't sexual creatures or that they do not value sex. Nor that culture doesn't play a part in the sexual behavior of gender. Just that with us Men sex does play a stronger role in feeling loved and emotional intimacy.

Why is this such an offensive statement ? I mean science has been able to show that not only the neurological structure but also the neurological development of both genders show noticeable differences. This being the case why is the idea that women and men prioritize sex in different ways offensive ?

Lastly, what's wrong with being a horndog, or calling someone a horndog for that matter ? Certainly there are exceptions to the rule, that's why I said for the most part. I'm not saying that the only meaningful male identity is trying to screw anything that isn't nailed down. But rather that men, as a general rule, really like sex, mostly because it's an extremely important factor in us feeling loved by and being emotionally intimate with our partner.
