JCC The term "Fanboy" is derogatory

Playing. It's either that or watch Anthony Weiner sweat about his new sexting scandal.

 

oh. yeah, those are pretty limited options i guess.

 

What happened to trying to learn science....from crappy blogs and io9?

 

Geraldo must be a Weiner fanboy, considering his brush with Twitter infamy over the weekend.

 

Intellectual honesty is important to me. I'm willing to concede any point that can shown to be evidentially certain. Can you say the same? That men have stronger sex drives than women is not just my opnion based on years of interest in the subject and anecodtal conversations with members of both sexes, it's medically and scientifically accepted as fact.

A stereotype, sure, but is it true? Do men really have stronger sex drives than women? Well, yes, they do. Study after study illustrates that men's sex drives are not only stronger than women's, but much more straightforward.​

​

1. Men think more about sex.​

The majority of adult men under 60 think about sex at least once a day, reports Laumann. Only about one-quarter of women report this level of frequency.​

​

2. Men seek sex more avidly.​

"Men want sex more often than women at the start of a relationship, in the middle of it, and after many years of it," Baumeister concludes after reviewing several surveys of men and women. This isn't just true of heterosexuals, he reports: gay men also have higher frequency of sex than lesbians at all stages of the relationship. Men also say they want more sex partners in their lifetime, and are more interested in casual sex. ​

Men are more likely to seek sex even when it is frowned upon or even outlawed:​

​

(etc.)​

Even today, many females don't understand male sexuality. So this article is for women – especially women who can sometimes find it hard to understand what makes men 'tick' sexually. ​

But men might also find it useful to read what follows.​

Male sex drive​

It can be enormously difficult for women to understand just how powerful the average man's sex drive is.​

​

Although males vary a lot on how keen on sex they are, the average man does tend to be much more 'driven' sexually than the average women is.​

​

etc.​

And I've got more where these examples came from if you need them to disabuse you of the notion that my contentions somehow mark me as sexist. It's medical fact. I await your concession and apology.

 

Oh look, WebMD.

You know, the place that tells you ever single ache you have is cancer. And AIDS.

How about an actual biology paper? You know, the type that is peer-reviewed.

>disabuse you of the notion that my contentions

You're trying too hard.

 

Jesus, this unrelenting derogation is unsettling. My wife has stage IV endometriosis, for which she had excision surgery last Tuesday under Dr. Sinervo in Atlanta at the CEC. It's not a vaginal condition, it's uterine and in the peritoneum of the body cavity. She's had excruciating pain for the last 18+ months, rendering her disabled in a number of ways. She's now recuperating, recovering, resting and relaxing.

Why the hate? I don't get it.

 

I'm with Merl on this. I've been interested in the subject of sex for years. I hope that's what this thread is about now.

 

I just wasted a few minutes of my life reading this thread and I can't believe that this slipped by and no one mentioned it.

This guy thinks that GRIEVING OVER A FAMILY MEMBER WHO HAPPENS TO BE FEMALE MAKES YOU A FEMINIST.

 

Earlier you pointed out, when I asked someone to "prove me wrong" about the definition of "fanboy", that the burden of proof is on the claimant. I've provided medical information from two sites, not just WebMD. You have not rebutted these with any alternate data points of any kind. You're just handwaving it away. Why not follow the sites, read the articles for yourself, follow the links to the studies that provided these medically sound conclusions, and formulate a rebuttal based on evidence?

 

I feel as though many women are more concerned about the backlash against them if they admit to the fact that they enjoy sex. Because then we are called sluts and whores, ya know.

 

No, I don't think that. Straw-manning.

 

He also thinks that WebMD is a reputable source of medical information. He's the VLM of biology.

 

I prefer the term straw-personing

 

It doesn't matter what you say,
the trolls have come to play.
Right or wrong good or bad,
they'll just condradict oh so sad.

 

That guy was my English teacher in high school.

that is all

 

gluc gluc gluc

 

Sorry Merlin, WebMD and NetDoctor aren't going to cut it on this issue, for reasons that should be obvious.

 

Ends in "g". Only losers gluc.

 

Let's just set aside the reliability of WebMD for a moment. Assume everything you've laid out is completely, and unquestionably true. None of that even remotely demonstrates that differences are biological [no.]. They are simply surveys about general attitudes in the population. Attitudes which can be shaped entirely by cultural attitudes, for instance your convictions that there are things women are too stupid to ever "be expected" to grasp, or that men have insatiable lusts which should take precedence over even the most serious commitments they make in life.

No flaming. Disagree with his points but don't insult him.

 

Now there's an idea for a grant proposal.

 

I'm an extra loser 'cause I don't know what the hell either one of those mean

 

While we're on the subject of which gender's sexual urges are stronger, I found this article really illuminating.
