The average man thinks about sex something like every 10 seconds.
The average woman thinks about sex something like 3-4 times a day.

(I don’t want to do a google search for the exact statistics on this stuff at work.)

At a biological level, then, I simply cannot be tasked with exercising any self-restraint. It’s in my blood and has developed that way over thousands of years. That also explains my insatiable desire to kill mastodons.

Women get blamed for being sexual while men don’t, for no reason other than that that’s the way it’s always been done. It sucks. You’re absolutely right about this, and it’s a sad truth. I wish it wasn’t.

However, I fear that women usually take the brunt of attacks when it comes to the discussion of sex. Even though men have had more of a personal freedom to it throughout the ages, it’s women who get blamed for exercising the exact same freedom than men do. Why is that?
