Reply #21: i think you have to look at our history as human beings.

we have testosterone and estrogen the way we do for a reason. men tend to need more calories, are stronger and are kind of 'built' to be the hunters. women are smaller, have the capacity to bear the children and feed them. we are the 'nurturers' by nature, even though it may not always be the case. if you look at the survival of the species sort of history, the men are probably hardwired to have sex a lot to further their genes whereas women are hardwired to care for kids. though, again, this is not necessarily true. some women have no desire to have kids. i am speaking strictly in regards to how our body reacts and possibly why men are more driven to have sex and women, while we do want too, we don't think about it generally as much as men do. and i think we are aroused by different things. men tend to be more visually geared whereas women react to different things. i find myself reacting to seeing my husband interact with the kids. that sort of thing. i tend to think a lot of that is connected to our biological history.
