  I said women are more picky about sex and more easily put off it this can and usually does RESULT IN A SITUATION

  that men want sex more than women. Women can be as intensely sexual as men UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES, but usually the circumstances are not right.

  It is true also that for biological reasons women are instinctively, "selfishly" invested in NON-SEXUAL relationships in a way men are not. This is because female relationships to help other females with their kids are almost as important to reproductive success as a mate. For males on the other hand other males are only real friends if they help each other have the status that will get them women. This is why men are less "deep" at social relationship in general and why womens non sexual friendships can be so twisted and weird, jealous, obsessive, in a way that for men only happens in sexual relationships. Confusion over this difference causes enormous difficulties between men and women.

  I'm a little surprised LeCastor that you keep harping on all the distorted science of the past. It seems absurd to argue that because science has been misused and distorted no science can be right if it is related to a sensitive subject. It would be EXACTLY like creationists accepting physics, chemistry, and astronomy but denying evolution and biology. In fact they could use your specific examples to make their case. Actually it isn't LIKE that it actually IS EXACTLY that.
