Why Women and Men
Have Different Sex Timeframes
How can women and men have such different
timeframes for the beginning of sex in a relationship? Two reasons stand
out:
- Our society teaches females that "nice
girls don't." When society has taught this lesson for years, it is hard to
suddenly feel sexual, even when hormones start raging in adolescence.
- And, probably because of the lessons of their
youth, women reach their sexual peak in their mid-to-late thirties or even
later, rather than when teen-age hormones first kick-in.
Age is a leveler
As men and women get older, women usually
become more interested in sex for the sake of sex, and most men learn to curb
some of their sexual impatience, giving closeness and love a chance to
flourish. So, for many single men and women, it can be true: love and sex are
both more wonderful the second time around.
Without a doubt, the sexual revolution changed
the sex scene for women. Fewer virgins at marriage; more women with multiple
sex partners; more women having affairs; more women having sex openly, more
women opting for sex only rather than marriage, etc.
Some women felt this was a change for the
better. Others saw it as unfavorable.
