Do Men and Women Have the Same Sexual Needs?

It's been my experience that men in general want sex more frequently than women, especially when men are in their 20's. It's funny that the table turns when a woman is in her 30's and she often wants it more than the man. Of course, none of this is scientific...just from reading, girlie chit chat and my own thoughts.Sunstone said:

Makes me a little queasy to talk about this stuff in the open forum but it wasn't a myth for me. In fact, I didn't even know about that "myth" under after the fact and went looking for answers. Hehee. The bonfire didn't hit till around 35 though.tlcmel said:Oh really, so it IS true that a woman's peak is in her 30's, I heard it was a myth but...well i'm not saying anything.

Though age and sex might be contributing factors, I believe that it depends mostly on the individuals early experiences. My mother was very open about discussing sex since I was a young age probably because she worked in a hospital and was also not one to believe that gender determined your worth. There are age appropriate subjects of course, whwich I would imagine some people might overstep.
We always look at the opposite sex from time to time and make generalisations, but you have to be able to step back and look at it from the others point of view also.

Men and women are equal and oposite but just out of step.

Well, personally, I think men want more action and variety during sex, and women want more attention and variety before sex. But, both men and women want an orgasm. Both men and women want to feel respected and considered.
Men and women are both equally driven to consumate sexual desire for somwhat different reasons. A woman generally sees sex as a fundamental expression of unity and oneness with her partner, with all the fun and immediacy that entails, whereas a man sees sex as the womans acquiesce to his desires: he is the catalyst for her love with all the powerful dominion and seperatness this entails. That is my view, though I would not deny there may be exceptions to this "rule"...

In terms of how often men and women need it, I've seen men and women at both ends of the scale. As for why, I've seen women that want sex for the sake of sex and men that want sex as a way to express love and effection. As for how, well, there's really not a lack of variety in imagination for either sex that I've seen.

I think the first problem arises when we talk in absolutes.
Men are not all the same, neither are women.

True, but both sexes are generally mystified by their own sexualities and the "reasons" for desire. This all men and women share in common: I mean, Phil asked this question and he's self-admitedly had a lot of nookie in his 49 years. Why would he still be wondering?
See what I mean?

No, men nor women are all the same. But, the question asked in the OP is what are the different needs between men and women and there are some. Much as we try to make men and women as alike as possible...it's simply not true because we are in essence a slave to our hormones to a degree.
It's fact that in general men produce 20 to 30 times the amount of testosterone that women do. That is going to create a difference in libido. How it manifests itself is another matter.

Yes. Believe it or not, women can get pink balls. We can experience pain related to the unrelieved pressure of not having an orgasmic release. It kind of feels like you have to pee only a lot worse. The problem is that society doesn't like to acknowledge that women have just as big of a sex drive as men...unless it's to prove how women are highly sensual creatures, incapable of controlling their desires and other BS! Otherwise, the onus is attributed to men for the larger sexual need, when one needs to coerce females into sex through asserting that their really hurting men by abstaining. That's my feminist rant for today!

I do know, for men, ejaculating after being very horny for awhile is mandatory. (Well, not required, but thier are painfull consequences that hurt too much to even mention the name). I don't know if females have an equivalent of this dreaded and painfull condition.
