    Boy, this touches on something I've been thinking about a lot lately. My boyfriend is hot and we have good sex, etc., but I definitely have sex to make him happy. I could easily do without it. I know that the whole concept of sex and getting it on the regular is really important to men.

    When I sold sex toys I had to regularly reassure men that their wives and girlfriends still loved them even though they were buying a vibrator. That they were loved for reasons above and beyond where your penis can go and what it can do there. Unfortunately, one of the examples I used was that a vibrator would never take the trash out if the bag was too heavy. Today, dozens of men are reading this and thinking ... my wife loves me for taking out the trash. She only sleeps with me for taking out the trash. She DOES love her vibrator more.

    Oh, science. What hath thou wrought?

    Also from the comments, JoeC says, "This is shameful. The act of copulation is, and always should be, for the procreation of life. Otherwise, how would one subject oneself to such a degrading and filthy act?"

    He sounds fun.

    You know something? Aside from the offensive tone of the featured articles, something else chaps my ass a bit. I feel like this idea that women do it as a way to get something is wrongheaded and condescending, but I also find the assumption that all men are constantly horny equally stupid. Not all men are like this. And the idea that every man is jonesing for a bonesing 24 hours a day, I think, hurts the guys that aren't actually like this. Because then the guys that don't fit that stereotype are going to think something is wrong with them or their manliness is not up to par. It's bullshit, IMO. I'm way more sexual than Mr. Foibles, and that imbalance has, admittedly, caused problems for us. But I don't find him any less manly because of it. The problem is that I'd be happy with every day action, and sometimes feel a little starved for physical intimacy-and sometimes I just want to fuck the daylights out of him because he's what I want more than anything. I'm always lusting after him, see. So, I guess I'm not "normal"? Fuck that noise. I'm always down, and I take the garbage out every night. HOLY SHIT I'M A GUY!!!!!

    Let's go back to those of us who love sex but HATE the word "horny"--how the hell did THAT become the adjective of choice?? Does anyone have a better one (please don't say "aroused")?

    @Titania: If I'm speaking to my best friend, we say "ripe for the pipe" but my favorite term is "ruttish," like I'm a wild animal about to go mate in the forest. But yeah, there's no good serious synonym for horny that I can think of. "Randy" doesn't really work for me either.

    @Titania: the term horny actually originated through association with bulls and horns and ya know... male bullishness? yay for testosterone? I donno why it's the favorite, as I hate the word, too, unless I'm teasing the boy since it makes him blush when I say it. HA!

    I usually say "antsy" instead, as one often does get fidgety!

    I've been having sex with an ex for about the better part of the year and HE knows it's for no other reason then my sheer enjoyment of it (and his skill level).

    But I've been told I'm a rare bird.

    @dreamypisces: I had a conversation with several females about how as generations change so does our mindset about sex but this article is trying to tell me I'm wrong.

    My friends and I were discussing our desire for as much sex as we can have (an all female group) and how the men in our lives can take it or leave it. We women all in newly inducted into our sexual prime - the men now also in their 30's just want to cuddle (and maybe offer a quickie before you leave in the morning).

    We were wondering how to find a balance with our new found desire for constant boning...at no point did any one say they had sex so he'd clean up or take out the trash (which you'd have better luck with before the sex).

    Regarding the women-don't-like-sex myth from ye olde days--if you do back to even older days (like shit written in Latin), you'll learn that, in fact, the female flesh is imbued with the devil's carnal lustiness, is the sign of all evil and sin in the world, and that women are insatiable nymphos who spend all their free time seducing priests in order to laugh evilly with Satan at their weekly coven meeting (at which they all get naked and do each other).

    For even more fun times, read this while being raised Catholic and spending every Sunday morning looking at stained glass windows of one such St. Tertullian, the guy who hates women with such deep loathing and passion that the fact that his writing is all official church doctrine will make you laugh and cry at the same time.
