Stephen Fry in the Observer

I think he has a point.

But I think he has over simplified it and also exaggerated the male need for sex.

Having said that, I have to say that I do believe that in general we (men) want / need sex much more than women do.
I mean, in a traditional relationship, how often does the woman initiate sex? A fraction of the time the man does.
How often does, upon her initiation, the man decline sex? A fraction of the time (on a relative scale) that the man gets knocked back.

Single male gay friends of mine have the most active sex lives I know of.
If they want sex, they basically go out! Its virtually guaranteed.

Christ knows in my youth I went out absolutely bulling for pussy and came home with nothing but my hand!
Wouldn't happen if I'd played for the other side.
