Really, slow day in news? I'm eternally baffled at the programs and magazine articles devote to "sex is good!" "we like sex!", and finally "why do women have sex!".

I thought the answers were pretty self-evident to all but the youngest children. I'm surprised we haven't had an article titled "Why women like to eat food!", or "Why do humans like covered shelters!"

Really, none of this information is that shocking, I learned all of that just from being a woman and hearing other women talk about their lives. Let's instead find the answers to questions that are actually truly enigmatic, like why do people engage in infantilism or have stinky foot fetishes?

And in regards to the last few sentences--why so do many in the media assume that a woman not having sex has medical or psychological problems? Some people just don't find sex that big a deal.

I totally agree with Donna- this article is foolish.

The reason women and men have sex is because they are both human, at least that is the way God intended it to be.

Given the way the media & popular culture portray men and women nowadays is pretty sad: Men as mindless buffons who are either batterers or philanders and women as hardened cyborgs with no feelings.

Whatever happened to the sexes respecting each other and their differences. This article does nothing but further the stupid "gender wars" non-sense.

Must be a really slow day in the news room.

Ms. Kotz has written an interesting article about an interesting subject.

But the comments are also an interesting commentary about the commenting readers.

Why do you make love?

That article was so male-biased. First, it conflated sex with intercourse. Hey, intercourse is only one part of sex. Also, it NEVER said anything about the clitoris. Hey, if the clitoris is not a dominant part of sexual expression, a woman will NOT get satisfied. Also, the article never asked if the women's partners took any responsibility for birth control. And finally, it never admitted that women want to have all sort of sex with good-looking men. Yes, we want outercourse, intercourse, everything course - and we want to be on top. Intercourse is NOT the be-all-end-all of a woman's sexuality. It should not be the be-all-end-all of anyone's sexuality.

One more thing: It is nonsense to think that looks do not matter to women. They do - they REALLY do.

So men, ALWAYS look your best for a woman.

I would like to know how one can improve their everyday curicullum when they have so much to do? I would like to do better myself and pursue a nice career for myself to help care for my family. I would like to take better care of what I should do. I also would like to have good communication with others because that would help also. I would like to get into a good career that would be good for me due to my personality and my talent. I know everyone has talent and I would like to make better use of mine. I may have a time getting started sometimes but I know I can do things too. I would like to pursue a good career and make money. I also would like to do beneficial things that would be good for me. I like to have an opportunity and strive to what I personally can.

REALLY! My question is how viable can this article be? How many women in their 80's can still get a one night stand? In addition to this nonsensical book,my question is why does the public fall for reading books published only with a money motivating factor in mind; utilizing sex as the seller? Why not publish books on purity and how important it is for our world to come back to teachings on G_d and the importance of loving each other and striving to turn away from sinful ways that only destroy our people? Oh yes, it's because it does not sell. When will we awaken to the fact we are a fallen world in need of asking for forgiveness, and turning away from the same living which destroyed Sodom and Gomorra. "Sulfur and fire…He overturned these cities": All the cities of the plain were overturned, but only Sodom and Gomorra were obliterated with sulfur and fire. The cities Admah and Tzvaim were punished because of their wickedness towards G-d, while Sodom and Gomorra were punished primarily for their wickedness towards man (see Rashi's commentary on Genesis 14:2). Thus, similar to the destruction of the generation of the Flood, whose wickedness was against G-d and man, G-d utterly destroyed Sodom and Gomorra.

this research, I think is an accurate representative of physiological and psychiatry aspects of why does women really intend to sex. I had myself experienced the kind of "Revenge sex" in that a woman does sex with some else concealed of her husband to relive her sadness caused by her partner's treachery. I had a colleague of not high social classes in my workplace who were married and even as I understood later pregnant by her husband, but the first time she caught sight of me exhibited a disguised kind of hot sexual ambition towards me. why? I think she was mistaken by her husband because she was not physically attractive or gorgeous. it is quit natural once she was not noticed enough as much as she desired by her husband, she tended to have sex with me!!!! specially as I'm a bit gorgeous!!!

to me, personally one thing can attract a woman to have sex with a man, even out of moral boundaries. That is the physical attractiveness a man, This is what I had experienced myself. once upon a time, I had a girlfriend who mainly got falling in me due to passionate sexual attraction to me.

just I want to conclude and indicate with biased attitude that women are quit delicate and mysterious when come into having sex. take care!
