Probably
the biggest mistake that men make in understanding women is underestimating
just how important sex is to women. It is easy to see, however, how men would
fail to recognize sex as being a major motivation to women. It has always been
socially acceptable for men to desire sex, and even to be open to others about
their desires. A woman who lusted for sex as considered a whore or slut. Women
were even afraid to admit to themselves that they had desires because of
feelings of guilt that society heaped upon them.
Thus,
the female sexual desire is not something that has been talked about openly,
and for this reason men have been lulled into thinking that since it is not
talked about much, it must not be a very strong motive in women.
The
fact of the matter is that female sexual desire does exist. And, it exists in
women every bit as strongly as it exists in men. We will go so far as to say
that the real, unspoken motive behind the women's movement was sexual freedom.
Not freedom to have sex necessarily, but that it is okay for women to admit
that they enjoy it, and want it, and have it with more than one man if they
want. The women's movement was saying, "Hey, we enjoy sex just as much as
men do, and that shouldn't be a sin. We are tired of the double standard."
And
that is what has happened. Women now realize that it's okay to enjoy sex and
they are out looking for it. Sex is something that women can enjoy too - not
just a dutiful obligation to a male dominated society.
