A Quest for Better Sex Meets ‘Not Now, Dear’? From today's Science Times. Stupid headline. Several errors. And a psychiatrist who reveals he doesn't understand sex.

The Times has gone bonkers. Here they give a psychiatrist the latitude to make sweeping statements about the supposed gender differences between men's and women's sexuality. It's a case of the same old, same old - reinforcing the idea that men like sex better than women. Enough already with this myth. While men and women may differ in our approach to sex that does not mean that when it's good and equal we all desire it. Men are just made to believe that the more sex they have, the more manly they are while women are told that we don't need it to enjoy life.

We need to get serious about discussing the social context of sex rather than asserting that all biology is destiny. And we really need to stop medicalizing sexuality. What self-respecting man wants a perpetual erection?

Women need to be tuned in to what turns them on, what it feels like to be turned on and allow ourselves that god given right to enjoy it.

And, when was the last time you heard a woman say "Not Now, Dear?" Jeez.
