Okay, I'll try to only use it when appropriate.



There are some damaged people who are going to cheat no matter what, that's true.



I agree.



Nobody has said that sex is more important than love. Just because you need to breath more than you need water, that doesn't mean you don't need water. Every human has needs and it just so happens that sex is a major need for men. If a woman plans to marry a man, she should know that she's committing to take care of his needs. If she doesn't, then she has failed the marriage just as much as her husband would fail the marriage if he cheated.

I think that for some they are true statements and for other's it isn't.

My brother is a sane rational man whose opinion I mostly respect and he believed that some are true.

I also think that most people can find a rationale to justify their behaviour.

I keep reading these posts about how much more important sex is for man than women. Do you guys really think sex doesn't matter much for women?

I don't think that it is good to generalise. I was just recongising that most people tend to do it whether they acknowledge that they are or not.

I was just reading and thinking the same...
I really thought we were beyond this male ego driven sex attitude.
The only women i know who don't enjoy and need sex are radical christians who have been taught how bad it is..therefore becoming frigid.

The rest of us..we like and need it !!!!

singmesweet,

In general, sex is demonstrably more important to men. In surveys of women, sex doesn't show up in their top five needs in a relationship, it always shows up as number one for men. Yes, women like sex, but they don't need it the same way that men do. As Ruth said earlier, women have emotional needs. A man who fulfills a woman's emotional needs is making her feel wanted and loved. Men get those same feelings when they have sex with a woman they love.

Yes, that's why prostitution and pornography almost exclusive caters to men...because women want sex just as much as men...

Sex being the strongest urge for all species, "all for self propagation of their species."
Through out evolution (religion aside, okay) All females ( man and animal ) chose/choose the strongest of the male species to breed with (regarding Homosapien's many subscribe to this theory as still fact. Example being: the "Bad Boy".), while males only concerned with to carry on their gene lines.
A perfect example is In the animal kingdom, with some species 1 male will have a pride or herd for mating, and fight to the death to have this distinction.
It isn't till man evolved, religion and societies became practiced did man ( most anyway ) begin to control such urges and become monogamous.
Oh BTW, it's not really women wanting "...financial stability..." (which is the mature version of "Bad Boy"), or men wanting to support, it's more of a "hunt and gather" showing of strength, virility or prowess. Just the strongest urges all living creatures have, SEX.

Well, you can either go by a survey, or what women actually say. Of course, some women aren't going to want/need/like sex as much as others. But many women do want sex just as much as men do. And yes, it's just as important.

If sex is that much more important than love, just leave.

What I was saying is that if the wife was taking care of his needs and he still cheated, then he has betrayed the trust and he should leave. In that case, sex became more important to him.

Exactly sweet!! It is important to women also. Surveys are a very minimal sampling. It is true that women need the emotional side more than men (usually), but that does not diminish our need or desire for sex.

I didn't say "as much as a man"

i said we like and need it

I agree with this..I would have so much respect for someone if they did leave before they cheated or at least discussed where he/she felt the relationship was failing before looking elsewhere but that very rarely happens.

I am surprised that air wasn't included in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Do you think Maslov was an alien?
Oh, okay. Breathing is air.

I'll be honest, I get confused easily. It seemed that you were objecting me to saying that sex was more important to men than it is to women. I never suggested that women don't like sex. I made a simple statement of fact and thought that your post was an objection to that statement.

It is, it's in the bottom tier.

Good point.

If that was true...

Strippers wouldn't profit from the male's short attention span.

The occupations (illegal or otherwise)
Of escorts, hookers, sluts, and prostitution would, more than likely, not exist as much as they do presently.

Also.

How would you buy porn?

The point I was getting at was that sex is absolutely important to women. More so for some and less for others. I don't really care if it's more important to men or women. It's important for both. But reading through this thread, it seems that some people don't see that, so I was confused.
