Is a straight man's sex drive his biggest weakness?
Men will spend hours of their day on porn websites. They will waste their time and money on a woman they don't even care about just for the gleaming hope of getting her in the sack. They will risk their political careers just to rape a maid in a hotel or have a secret fling in Argentina. Their desperation for sex makes women's lives so much easier. Women don't need sex as fervently as men do. Men just kind of throw it in our laps though. We don't have to work for it. We don't have to do anything really. When we feel like having sex, we can get it. Do men ever think their lives would be so much easier if they weren't thinking about sex and women all the time? I mean I like sex, I like men, but it's not the center of my universe. My world doesn't revolve around it. What do you think? Men, do you ever want to just NOT want sex anymore? Do you ever want to stop your urge to fap to internet porn for a good portion of your day? Just think of how much more productive you'd be if you weren't ruled by your extreme longing for sex!

If men no longer thought about women, then what would you do?

Nope. A man's sex drive propels him to accomplish incredible feats, or atleast attempt to. Despite what feminists say, we're all mentally hardwired from years of evolution to respond to certain things. Women respond to men who can provide for kids, while men respond to fertile women. In our society, this translates into men chasing money and women chasing the men who make money. The more money a man makes, the better his chance of bedding attractive women. Think about it. If it wasn't for sex, then why would a man spend 8 hours working in a job he hates? -ahoy, the pirate of masculinity has struck.

No,and your ignorance is YOUR weakness. Stop generalizing.

No man is controlled by his sex drive. Anyone who is is a sex addict. That's just a fact.
5 :
i don't fap to internet porn....much anyway. and i have self control, the same thing that keeps me from living unhealthily in all the other ways that are easy to do. but yes, sometimes it can be a biyatch.

No honey ... it is potentially his biggest strength. A man without a sex-drive is a strange and confused one. The male sex drive gives him motivation to create, construct, build, foster, nurture, provide, learn, grow ... It is driven by testosterone. We speak poorly of testosterone ... but that is what makes men do manly things, and act in manly ways. That is what makes men, men. Men who have addictions are the ones who have not channeled their most powerful asset in a productive way. It takes discipline for a man to do this. I don't know a lot of men who even spend an hour a week looking at internet porn. But I know they are out there. I know that some men have something of an addiction to it. I am sorry for them, because they have a problem. They lack discipline and self-restraint. But his sex drive is not his biggest weakness - it is his biggest strength. His lack of emotional control is his biggest weakness.

For men, food and sex are the most primary drives. But most exercise excellent self-control. Women are the same. We just have better control. So the problem isn't sex, it's strength of character.

All you have explained is capitalism. Imagine a world were man and women just f...uck. I'm sure there is a planet out there in total orgasm! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b7qaSxuZUg

I thought rape wasn't about sex? IMO no I don't think my sex drive is my "biggest weakness". Sex and masturbation is enjoyable and relaxing and there is plenty free porn so there is no need to pay for it. You are also making sexist generalizations.. most men aren't slaves fapping to internet porn all day like you seem to think, most men do have self-control.

You sound like you want to have an account suspended!

NAAAAH, WE'RE LIKE SEX CAMELS WE CAN GO ON FOR MONTHS WITHOUT SEX.

It can be if you're retarded like a lot of men are unfortunately, but if you're intelligent, its easy to control and harness. All energy comes from one pool, sexual energy can be harnessed to create things, this is called sublimation, which is essentially taking your sexual energy and harnessing it to do more productive things. So it can be a weakness if the guy is an idiot. For people like me its not wasted on you, its used to create things that will outlive me.....and you ;) So it can be his greatest strength, or his greatest weakness, it depends on the male.

What percentage of men actually spend hours per day looking at porn? You could search the web for stats, but I suspect the % is lower than you think. It's true that men will spend time/money and otherwise behave differently if desperate to get a woman into bed. But not all men are that needy. When you hear about the sex crimes/exploits of the rich and famous men, keep in mind that they are unusual men in unusual life situations. They are not representative of the typical man. And older men are much less horny. I've read that women sometimes want sex more than men, perhaps during one part of the menstrual cycle. But most of the time, yes, the average woman probably is less focused on sex. Attractive young women do have it ridiculously easy when it comes to getting sex. Too bad they are more fixated on finding love and romance, and perhaps getting married to a man who can finance their childbearing; that is not easy at all. So I guess they don't have it easy, after all. And aging or ugly women sometimes find it difficult or impossible to find men interested in them sexually. Yes, men's lives would be simpler if they were never obsessed with women. But some of them would be less driven to succeed, and they would experience less enjoyment of sex (and, later, parenthood). The human race would have died out, or been much less numerous, if that were the case.

I don't think that's true. Sex for me isn't a weakness. I feel sorry for anyone who has no control over their hormones. That said, I don't have sex, and I also don't think my life is any easier than men who are having sex. I think your entire premise is based on ill-conceived notions about men's sex drives given to you by the mainstream media.

The biggest weakness is that men don't seem to know that women want sex, too. As you said, they will waste their money on women and just basically throw themselves out there. And the men who do this make it hard for the rest of us, men. Think about it. If I am not going to spend a penny on a woman, then why would she want me? She can easily find a man who will shower her with money. "Women don't need sex as fervently as men do." Women need sex. The difference is that women can get sex whenever they need it, which is what you say a few sentences later. "I mean I like sex, I like men, but it's not the center of my universe." That's because you can get sex whenever you want. If guys were playing mind games and hard to get all the time, you would become obsessed with sex also. If men would just realize that women want sex also and stop paying so much and quit doing or saying anything just to get laid, things would change pretty quickly. Also, you are making generalizations. I don't think most men are as horny as you are making them out to be. Some men will risk their political careers for sex, but most won't. I am sure women in power have extramarital affairs too, but the media only seems to care when men sleep around. Seriously, do you really think most men spend a good portion of their day looking at porn? I am one of the horniest people you will ever come across, and even I usually don't spend any more than an hour in a day.

I dunno about other guys but I am not out for just sex whne I treat a girl to a resteraunt or such I am establishing a connection and don't mind paying. I don't spend hours of the day on porn sites and honestly I don't see why other guys do. This is one guy who enjoys sex but does not let it rule his life and any girl that is just out to see how much she can sap from me had best just keep on looking.

Some men are completely dominated by their sex drives, and some aren't. Often, men's extreme interest in sex lessens with age. Thankfully, I am no longer willing to sell myself short in order to please women like I was willing to do in my late teens. I have learned that there is no such thing as 'the one and only' woman for me, and I now date 2 or 3 women at a time to prevent going crazy for any one woman ever again. I think men that have pride in themselves and work hard for a living don't go to strip clubs or spend a lot of time looking at internet porn. These men have faith in their ability to attract a decent woman, so they aren't as preoccupied with finding new women to have sex with all the time.
