No, this myTake isn’t a lesson on the birds and the bees (I sincerely hope that anyone reading this take already knows the basic mechanics of sex), nor is this about Salt-N-Pepa’s 1990 hit song by the same name. No, this myTake is about good ol’ fashioned screwing, banging, f*cking, getting laid; Sex.

Sex Differences in Sex

Lets address some important gender differences between Men and Women when it comes to sex. When it comes to "doing the deed", Men and Women are on different pages (heck, even different chapters!). Understanding these differences is key resolving conflicts in the bedroom.

Sex vs. Love: What comes first, love or sex? For Men, sex leads to feelings of love, but for Women, feelings of love lead to sex. This may be why women often feel hurt when the man they have slept with does not reciprocate her feelings, or why men think women become too “clingy” after sex.

Arousal & Satisfaction: This is a major issue for men and women in the bedroom; they are aroused and satisfied at different speeds. Men are quickly aroused and satisfied while Women are slowly aroused and satisfied.


Tension: For Men, The best part of sex is release of tension, but for Women, the best part of sex is the buildup of tension.


Simulation: Lets face it, our bodies and erogenous zones are also different. While Men want immediate direct stimulation in one place, Women want to be touched everywhere, delaying direct stimulation.

Relaxation: Men want sex in order to relax. This is why Men typically need to get-off several times a day. Women on the other had must relax in order to have sex. When a Woman is stressed-out, the desire for sex and the ability to enjoy sex is decreased.


Sexual Prime: Men are in their sexual prime in their late teens to early 20s, while Women hit their sexual prime in their 30s and 40s.


Desire: For Men, desire is dependent on constant hormones, while for Women, desire is dependent on changing hormones. This usually causes issues with libido and ability to perform as we get older.


Orgasm: Men are capable of a single orgasm, while Women are capable of multiple and varied orgasms.

The Difference Between Sex & Making Love

Let's Talk About SEX: From Arousal to Orgasm

Sex is a biological need for pleasure and/or reproduction. It is a desire for physical contact with another person’s body, irrespective of emotional bond or connection. It is seeking self-gratification; fulfillment of one owns sexual needs. Sex is a sort of appetite; once the appetite as been satisfied, the partner is no longer needed or wanted. In this sense, partners can be seen as objects in a means to an end.

Here is where things get confusing; making love involves sex, but sex is not necessarily making love.

Making love still involves a desire for physical contact, but involves a deep emotional connection and a shared bond that develops between two people; it is a confirmation of love. It is a mutual desire for a unity without partition. While sex is self-gratifying, making love is selfless.

Don't get me wrong, sex is still a necessary part of a couples life, but in my opinion making love is far more fulfilling.

I think this comic by College Humor, illustrates the difference between Sex & Making love very well…

  • Lol this is great! Of course it's a lot of generalizations which may not be true for everyone but it's still mostly accurate. This part especially is true from what I've noticed, "While Men want immediate direct stimulation in one place, Women want to be touched everywhere, delaying direct stimulation."

    As for the "making love" vs. "fucking" part, judging by those images, all I ever do is "fuck." haha But it's still with someone I love so I don't ever feel like we are not connecting or sharing that special bond. I don't need the rose petals, soft music, or dimmed lights in order to feel passion and love when having sex. I like the hot, rougher type of sex but I still know that he loves me and I love him so, that's enough for me and it's always satisfying. Haha!

  • I investigated multi-orgasms and men. Apparently Tantra exercises in early adolescence can result in a man learning multi-orgasm. Some people say this is genetic and all the training will not help you have to be born with a other Savior start early. The however to all of this is I could find no scientific peer-reviewed journals study that documented multi-orgasms in the male. That might not mean much to Layman but to a guy who lives by scientific double-blind studies it means something to me and that is my conclusion nobody has shown multiple orgasms in a male.

    • Thank you for providing the supporting evidence! I work in biological mental health research, so I can greatly appreciate evidence derived from peer-reviewed scientific articles :)

    • I looked I searched I had the Emory University librarian search there are no peer-reviewed scientific articles at least that I could find. But when you think about it was going to gather 5000 men who are multi-orgasmic one not stick them in the laboratory and watch them screw what your golf. With the United States government sponsor such research? I doubt it although I will volunteer

    • see graph

      this is a roughly drawn graph of two types of sine wave orgasms multiples in a female where she never goes below orgasm threshold (she continues to experience the orgasm pleasure) but rises again to have another. I had never heard of that in a man was seen any laboratory evidence of it in the male

  • Reading the differences makes you feel like men and women are naturally incompatible sexual partners, yet they cannot get enough of each other. What a staggering paradox.

  • Great mytake.

    only part I've heard different is men can have multiple orgasms. wouldn't know, but I heard.

    Well done!

    • Thanks! That is very interesting. Must be rare!

    • Requires training... I've read about it. sounds like a great idea... lol!

    • Men can have multiple orgasms only when they never reach full climax. Not true for a woman. Think of a woman's multiple orgasms as coming in waves
