6 Secrets About Men's Sexual Needs and Desires

There are a lot of frustrating myths that get tossed around about how men think and feel about sex.

By Scott Alden / How About We July 17, 2011

There are a lot of annoying and frustrating myths that get tossed around about how men think and feel about sex. Most of them are based on extremes and seem to come from a need to put something very complicated in simple terms. We're not just looking to get off (we can take care of that pretty easily ourselves, actually...). It's not just the thrill of conquest (we assume that when women sleep with us it's because they want to and not because they've been defeated, right?). It's not just our biological imperative to make as many little versions of ourselves as possible before we die (most of us our actually trying not to knock you up). So what the hell is it? What drives men toward sex and what does it mean to us when it happens?

I probably shouldn't do this, but screw it: In the spirit of promoting better understanding between the sexes, here's six deep dark secrets about how men really feel about sex.

10 Things Men Wish Women Knew About Sex

Learn what he really wants in the bedroom and why

By Brendan Tapley

Freud called female sexuality “the dark continent”; if that’s true, male sexuality could qualify as the dark planet. But when it comes to sex, guys are simple, right? Not true. The bedroom is one of the great stages of male performance, and as such, what you see and hear is typically the role, not the reality. It’s no wonder, in trying to please the actor, a woman loses sight of a guy’s true identity. Here are 10 “unmasking” facts you may want to know:

 

1. We Respond to Praise
It’s believed that men are so consumed by our libido that we have no self-consciousness surrounding sex. But men are no different from women when it comes to compliments as catalysts for sexual confidence. This praise can be delivered before reaching the bedroom (give us the once-over and tell us how buff we look), and after (give us the once-over and tell us how buff we look naked). Along those lines, men worry about the size of their guts (and other measurable organs), their hair (or lack thereof) and other attributes. Try to be extra affirming about those sensitivities.
