BTW the issue orignally wasn't whether or not experience makes one better
the issue was the fact that women have more experience and it matters. Someone suggested that men could become better and know they were better and negate the consequences of less expereince without having more experience, for example by reading books or adopting the appropriate attitudes. I think this is unlikely to work in most cases.

Anon, as LWW wrote earlier, maybe, MAYBE, women have the opportunity for more experience, but men end up being the ones with more experience actually. You can keep saying "wome have more experience" but all the statistics are against you. Are all the statistics lies? where did you get this idea that women actually have more experience than men do because they have more opportunity for it? It would be like saying, people who live in big cities have more opportunity to eat fatty food (because of the close proximity and abundance of restaurants), but in reality, they tend to be thinner.
And more importantly, as someone brought up, more experience does not make you a better lover necessarily (just eating a lot of food doesn't make you a discriminating gourmand). Some people are just naturally talented, and some people don't want to be good lovers, they just want to get laid. Do you dispute this? Is all the anecdotal evidence in support of this useless (can there be any scientific evidence of skill in bed)?
So what's your point?
