That is what Anita Clayton, a psychiatrist who focuses on women’s sexuality at the University of Virginia Health System feels. Apparently women have high demands in nearly every area of their lives, but when it comes to sexual satisfaction, they are willing to overlook things, and keep their dissatisfaction a secret from their partners and their doctors.
Men, however are quite different. Anytime there is a problem affecting their sexual lives, they run to the doctor for a cure, assuming there is one. They are not too shy about it.
Reasons given for the apparently low importance that women attach to sex:
1. Other things like health, money and happiness are far more important. Thus sexual satisfaction gets shoved to the low priority area.
2. Women feel dissatisfied with their own body image. Very often they feel that they are lacking in certain physical attributes, such as their breast size, their weight, and their legs.
3. Women do not want to ask for what they want in bed, being afraid that their partner will be hurt or leave them.
4. Certain medications will decrease a woman’s libido and ability to reach orgasm.
This article examines the above issues and attempts to provide tips to overcome the problem.

Hello….again all of the above are so true.
Women are so much more emotionally connected with sex than men are also which can get a woman very confused which results in her seeming complicated.
Men..are only worried about one thing and that is getting it up. Some men do consider their partners pleasure which is a good thing but there are still way to many that do not.
This is also another reason a women will back off saying anything about sex. What is the point when it only is about his needs in his mind.
Great post!
