Sexual fact versus sexual fantasy

Imagine the scenario: a woman, wearing a skirt and no panties, climbs a ladder. A man below enjoys a clear view of her genitals. Imagine now that the genders are reversed: my point is that a woman is unlikely to appreciate the view in the same way that a man does.
Of course, someone is always ready to disagree. A man said: “It depends from woman to woman, because if they want a quickie they like to take a look at your nakedness. “Drop your pants” was an order I got from a girlfriend once in Brisbane who was a Buddhist, when she saw the size of me she stripped and said ‘try to satisfy me – you are very big’ and I did. Second time I got that order was before I married in Tagbilaran. My now wife laid down and said: ”Let’s see how big you are – the bigger the better”, that was before we got married and she went mad for me.”
Men seem to think that women were born yesterday. Of course, an accomplished female lover appreciates how much of a turn-on it is for a man if a woman has the same kind of sexual reactions that men have. It is also a well known fact that women fake orgasm with a partner.
Women can enjoy many aspects of physical intimacy with a lover but we are not automatically aroused, the way men are, because our bodies are not full of the sex hormone, testosterone. Equally, we don’t get a hard-on (clitoral erection) by looking at male nudity: even the body and genitals of our partner. Otherwise women would pay for sex and the sight of the male body more than they do. No doubt there are women who pay for a male lap- or pole-dancer but, I think we all know, most would not.
If we are to accept the facts of female sexuality, we need to leave the sexual fantasy and look around the real world. Men may be able to imagine that sexually attractive young women (under the age of 35) are always on the brink of orgasm. But what about other women?
Do we think that a stunning man enjoys sex more or is more sexually driven than an ugly man? No. Even if a man is middle-aged, ugly, pigeon-chested or has a pot-belly, we know that he is just as likely to masturbate or pay for sex as the next guy. Similarly we know that, regardless of her looks, very few heterosexual women masturbate and almost none pay for sex.
Logic tells us that heterosexual women’s sexuality is the same whatever the age or attractiveness of the woman. The rest is just part of the sexual game that men fall for. After all, men and women play for different stakes – who pays the bill, for example?
Some people believe the sexual fantasy regardless of the evidence: “I must shake my head in wonder as to what women you have spent time with (or possibly they are VERY, very, young women who have not yet discovered their own sexuality). An older woman, say 30 to 55, is easily aroused. A well built man on a beach can absolutely stimulate a woman without her knowing him. Women are quite willing to ‘act like a whore’ in the bedroom and enjoy it, and as well they should, to the fullest.”
Women who take on a pro-active sexual role are described as acting ‘like a whore’ precisely because not every woman behaves in this way. There is no equivalent term for men (very few heterosexual men are paid for sex) because men are generally assumed to be enthusiastic about sex whatever the circumstances.
Remember ‘whores’ only offer sex in return for payment so their sexual ‘enthusiasm’ does not come naturally but has been paid for. Prostitution involves providing male sexual pleasure. Funnily enough, women rarely pay for sex. Most women are more concerned about commitment and trust than about orgasm.
Presumably this is why is it so often suggested that women’s sexual arousal depends on her relationship with a lover or on the love-making skills of a particular lover. Whereas men can have sex with anyone, even a prostitute, as long as they find her attractive and they still manage to enjoy it.
Men have much stronger sexual urges than women so men masturbate regularly from a young age (pre-teens). Men also enjoy sex with a stranger or sexual pleasure through pornography, pole-dancing/lap-dancing bars etc. because they need sex regardless of whether they are in a relationship. Also for many men, the only way they can enjoy the delights of oral sex, for example, is by paying because most wives and girlfriends are not willing to engage on such explicitly sexual activities.
