OK, fair play, trying to sort of whether and why men and women have different attitudes to sex. Or not, as the case may be.

It is a reasonable question to ask – do men and women bring the same
expectations to sexual intercourse? Most national surveys show that
women want sex less often than men, experience orgasm less often and
find greater satisfaction in emotional intimacy than in genital sex.

But
does this really mean that women are naturally cuddle-centric, finding
it impossible to separate sex from love? Some would suggest that the
higher male sex drive has a Darwinian rationale. I lean towards a more
cultural explanation – that young girls are taught from an early age
that sex is part of a romantic narrative involving love, partnership
and children, while boys are told that it is a discrete act
underpinning masculinity.

Asking the right question doesn’t mean, unfortunately, coming up with the correct answer. Having brought up the Darwinian argument (which is obviously true at least in part) only to reject it in favour of "It’s all society’s fault!" (only a short step away from "We are all guilty!") isn’t, to my mind, the sign of a great thinker.

No, I’m not a complete and total evolutionary zealot…in the sense that everything about humans is explained purely by genes… but to reject something quite as obvious as the different attitudes to sex in favour of a cultural explanation seems deliberately obtuse.
