LeCastor and Anon-- you guys seem to be talking about two different things. I think Anon is right that, if you take a man and a woman of comparative attractiveness, it would be easier for the woman to find a man willing to sleep with her (the bar scenario he set up) than it would be for the man to find a willing woman. At the same time, that doesn't mean that the average woman does in fact have more sex than the average man, because, Anon, we women aren't taking advantage of every opportunity we have.
Maybe that's because if LeCastor were to go up to a hundred guys in a bar tonight asking them to sleep with her (or, better, go ahead and sleep with an attractive man she just met in a bar), she would be branded a slut, while if her boyfriend did that it wouldn't necessarily be considered in good taste, but it would probably be written off as "boys will be boys".
