- I read that piece and thought it was ridiculous. That guy has really drunk the feminist Kool Aid.

- No doubt you are right about men fearing comparison. Also, in this era of unrestrained female sexuality, women are free to “trade up” to a higher status guy, even if it’s only for one night. This has resulted in many men, who in previous generations would have been able to attract a woman of similar attractiveness, now getting no women b/c they’re all fixated on 20% of the highest status men. In practice, this means that many men have very limited sexual experience, and they hate the idea of being with a woman who is more experienced than they are. I think that’s pretty understandable. Finally, there is research that shows divorce rates climb with the number of previous sexual partners. Men who are especially cautious about marriage will hedge their bets by seeking out a chaste woman.

- I really appreciated your comments. Some of the guys on here have some serious issues- it’s good to know there is some male sanity out there.
- I can’t know if your analysis of the male psyche is accurate. It’s certainly logical I suppose- in my work I have seen couples dissolve into violent chaos due to male jealousy and insecurity. It’s a powerful force for sure.

- Jealousy is one of the most heated and hated of all emotions. It is settled in insecurity. Think about it. A man doesnt want a woman so experienced that she may be able to know if he is actually up to snuff sexually. His fears are a result of being jealous of her experiences with other men, her knowledge of sex in general, and the fact that he may not measure up in bed. Or in short, insecurity. All it may take is one person in a relationship to overly flirt with a stranger, and the other person in the relationship might go balistic.. I am aware of the study that suggests the more partners a person has the less likely they can sustain a LTR. I have also seen a couple studies that suggest otherwise.
