“Why Women Have Sex”
Just read an article by Tanya Gold in the Guardian about a new book. The title is “Why Women Have Sex”(Times Books).
Gold says that “It is by Cindy Meston, a clinical psychologist, and David Buss, an evolutionary psychologist. It is a very thick, bulging book. I’ve never really wondered Why Women Have Sex. But after years of not asking the question, the answer is splayed before me.
Meston and Buss have interviewed 1,006 women from all over the world about their sexual motivation, and in doing so they have identified 237 different reasons why women have sex. Not 235. Not 236. But 237. And what are they? From the reams of confessions, it emerges that women have sex for physical, emotional and material reasons; to boost their self-esteem, to keep their lovers, or because they are raped or coerced. Love? That’s just a song. We are among the bad apes now.”
237, eh?

Alice, the good news is as we males get older (just for you I declined to use the word “mature”) we tend to use our brains a little more..By victor mickunas

Funny. Almost as humorous as this: God gave man a brain and a p__ but only enough blood to operate one at a time. That was from Robin Williams I think… and sorry I’m never quite sure what the boundaries are on here!By irishguy

Good line Vick. Alice you may find this humorous: One night while pestering my wife in the boudoir she asked “Don’t you ever think about anything else?” to which I replied, “Food”By vick

Irish, the one reason you so proudly boast that men have sex is also what motivates men to do most things.By vick

Rabbit, one would hope that LOVE remains on that list of 237 reasons. The reviewer who made that snarky comment about LOVE is a woman - I’m going to assume that she was editorializing just a bit. Don’t you think?By irishguy

As if we men needed further proof of how complex/difficult women are. 237 reasons! It doesn’t take 2 psychologists thousands of $$ and hours to figure out why men have sex!By Rabbit

Hey Vick. Don’t disgard love being just a song! Sometimes women have sex to keep their lovers because they LOVE them and sometimes their lovers LOVE them back to keep their special lady also.It goes both ways as long as there is LOVE.
