Because men do truly (as a whole) tend to objectify women far more than the other way around. Women are much more in tune with a real "bonding process" and are much more tied to their emotions; relationships are generally less about sex for them and more about the actual relationship. While men care about the relationship, sex often plays a larger part for them about the quality of the relationship.

i find that strange, because originally my girlfriend was obsessed with pleasure/sex/etc, but it didn't hugely bother me, although we are both about the same now, although for a long time sex wasn't important to either of us

Well, there are exceptions to every rule. Not every man thinks about sex every minute of the day, and some women do think about it pretty often.

Doesn't even have to be about actual sex, either. Most women who see a guy they think is good looking note his good looks, might comment, then move on. Many men who see an attractive women go as far as mentally undressing them. It's just the way men tend to think; part of it also has to do with men and their competitive nature. Men want to take what they see as the best prize for themselves, even if it's just in their minds.

there is nothing wrong with mentally undressing someone, its a great game to play in a bar, try and guess what colour underwear a woman is wearing

Cos guys go around bragging about how many lasses they slept with the night before? Ugh, I hate the idea of one night stands.

But seriously, I love sex too much with my boyfriend that most the time.. I'm the rabbit. He usually has a lower sex drive than me too.

But you get girls who are stereotyped as being obsessed with sex, like lasses who go out to get sex.

i am , but i didnt used to be and i know some guys who are not

 

[grayishfox]

why? because sex is awesome. No one knows this quite as much as those no longer getting it...*sigh*

I'd say for the same reason that women can be thought of as being more demure - because of historical reasons. I suppose also, on average, it's more likely for a guy to be sex-obsessed than a girl.

Then again, if you find yourself being stereotyped then it says alot more about the person doing the stereotyping in the first place, because they are being unfair.

(EDIT) Wow I took this topic waaaaaaay too seriously - sorry.

The generalisation doesn't really apply to me either, I have almost no sex drive.

That why you have a panda as your avatar?

That and the big black rings around my eyes.

Same. And it really pisses me off when someone stereotypes me like that and they aren't kidding.
If they're there in person, I hit them.

I don't hit people, that's another shameful male stereotype that I want no part of. Just another example of people being ruled by hormones. The most annoying thing I find though is when people assume that I am like minded and try to include me in conversations about "getting laid" and other such indignancy.

Not saying that it's a bad thing (though it could be considered rude), but right there you're proving my point. Being sex-obsessed isn't just about wanting to have sex all the time. It's about thinking about the opposite sex (or I guess your own, too) in a sexual way all the time. Just because you don't care to have sex that much, or at least not as much as your girlfriend, doesn't mean you're not thinking about it in some facet.

That might be a hormonal imbalance actually. If you lack a substantial sex drive then you might want to get it checked. But in general men do seem to be more sex based than women.

I fail to see the downside. Anyway I'm not entirely convinced that men think about sex alot more than women, it's probably just culturally more acceptable for men to be open about it.
Promiscuous man = stud
Promiscuous woman = slut.
Although it is absurd, it is still the general consensus.

It does save a lot of trouble
