College men offered sex on a plate are reportedly having trouble getting hard. Do men really need to chase women down to get it up?
  • It's not so complicated

    Picture two scenarios:

    - In Scenario A, a man and a woman are in an intimate situation because the man found the woman sexually attractive, and took the necessary steps to pursue her.

    - In Scenario B, a man and a woman are in an intimate situation because the woman found the man sexually attractive, and took the necessary steps to pursue him.

    In Scenario A, it is guaranteed that the man is sexually attracted to the woman, and therefore will likely not have problems maintaining an erection.

    In Scenario B, the man may be sexually attracted to the woman, or he may just have went along with her advances because he felt like that was the role he was supposed to play, or he might have a misguided "any port in a storm" mindset about sex. In this case, there is a chance that the man simply isn't attracted to the woman (whether he wants to admit that to her or to himself, or not).
