WHY MEN NEED SEX

I'm sitting up late, surfing  the net, when I ran across this article (for no particular reason).  However, it is VERY interesting!  Check it out.......

Men's Confraternity (WA) Inc. Why Men Need Sex!

Men's Confraternity has listed this page to give a better insight into the true nature of male sexuality. There are many feminist publications which make outrageously offensive statements about the male sex drive and male physiology in general.

Statements such as:

"As far as I'm concerned, men are the product of a damaged gene. They pretend to be normal but what they're doing sitting there with benign smiles on their faces is they're manufacturing sperm. They do it all the time. They never stop. I mean, we women are more reasonable. We pop one follicle every 28 days, whereas they are producing 400 million sperm for each ejaculation, most of which don't take place anywhere near an ovum. I don't know that the ecosphere can tolerate it." - Germaine Greer

"All men are rapists and that's all they are. They rape us with their eyes, their laws, and their codes." - Marilyn French 'The Women's Room'.

"The fact is that the process of killing - both rape and battery are steps in that process- is the prime sexual act for men in reality and/or in imagination," - Andrea Dworkin 'Letters from a War Zone' p22.

"Man's discovery that his genitalia could serve as a weapon to generate fear must rank as one of the most important discoveries of prehistoric times, along with the use of fire, and the first crude stone axe," - Susan Brownmiller 'Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape' p5.

"All men benefit from rape, because all men benefit from the fact that women are not free in this society; that women cower; that women are afraid; that women cannot assert the rights that we have, limited as those rights are, because of the ubiquitous presence of rape," - Andrea Dworkin 'Letters from a War Zone' p142.

"Under patriarchy, no woman is safe to live her life, or to love or to mother children. Under patriarchy, every woman is a victim, past, present and future. Under patriarchy, every woman's daughter is a victim, past, present and future. Under patriarchy, every woman's son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman," - Andrea Dworkin 'Liberty' p58.

"I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman," - Robin Morgan

Statements such as these can be found in almost any feminist book and yet these women claim to be 'the more reasoned' and 'superior to men'. Astonishing !

This is the truth from a scientific perspective, not from a jaded and intellectually bankrupt ideological perspective:

Back to top Why men need sex

Both men and women may desire sex but only men need sex. This is one of the crucial differences between men and women, a fact that very few men and fewer women know.

In every man's body there are two small organs called "seminal vesicles". Only men have them and, although they have a profound effect on men's behaviour, men have no conscious awareness of their existence or function. The seminal vesicles are probably the most neglected organs in discussions of human sexuality.

Each seminal vesicle looks like a little wrinkled sausage about 5cm (2") long. Inside there is a coiled tube. Their function is to produce seminal fluid, which is produced continually. Since they never cease their production, the seminal vesicles keep filling up after each ejaculation, and as they fill they swell. The swelling is accompanied by elongation, just as a coiled garden hose tends to stretch out when filled with water. The seminal vesicles cannot release any of the seminal fluid other than by ejaculation.

Closely surrounding the seminal vesicles is a network of pressure sensitive nerves called the "vesicle plexus". This vesicle plexus is connected through the spinal cord to a mid-brain region known as the "hypothalamus". In the hypothalamus of men there is a uniquely male structure of specialised "neural circuits" that appear to be specifically designed to trigger sexual arousal in response from impulses received from the vesicle plexus. As each seminal vesicle swells it presses against and starts to put pressure on the nerves of the vesicle plexus that sends a message to the hypothalamus.

When the hypothalamus is energised to a sufficient level by nerve impulses from the vesicle plexus, to effect an ejaculation of seminal fluid, it causes testosterone to be released into the bloodstream. This triggers the man's conscious awareness of being in a state of sexual need.

At low levels of pressure in his seminal vesicles, activation of the man's hypothalamus barely triggers enough sexual arousal to intrude upon his consciousness - it stays in the back of his mind, so to speak, but, after minutes or hours have elapsed since his previous ejaculation, the pressure in the man's refilled seminal vesicles again reaches such a level that the release of testosterone into his bloodstream is accelerated.

At a certain point, the accelerating rate of release of the male hormone into a man's bloodstream affects his conscious mind in a uniquely male way. It has the psychological effect of sensitising the man's attention to any and all of the sexual stimuli in his environment. Consciously, the man involuntarily finds himself being intensely and powerfully distracted by sexual thoughts and fantasies as well as having his attention and interest being drawn magnetically to the females in his vicinity.

Because of his possession of the uniquely male seminal vesicles, the uniquely male structure of the hypothalamus and the uniquely male hormone testosterone, the male alone is subject throughout adult life to a compellingly distractive and recurrent sexual cycle of involuntary arousal, bodily excitation and partial ejaculation followed by temporary quiescence.

Only evacuation of the seminal vesicles by ejaculation will acquiesces a man's sexual desire and within seconds after the ejaculation a man has no sexual desire at all. Ejaculation can occur through copulation, masturbation or wet dreams. Only in very rare circumstances can semen escape through the urine.

A man with distended seminal vesicles does not experience a conscious need to ejaculate seminal fluid. He merely is aroused and sensitised to what are, for him, "sexual stimuli". It is at the point of a man's conscious sexual arousal that his sexual fantasies, generated by his individual sexual "orientation", and his unique cultural conditioning combine forces and intervene to determine a man's choice of behavioural responses, to his sexual stimuli, which for him, will be most likely to result in gratification of his sexual fantasies and satisfaction of his sexual appetite. That is why whatever constitutes sexual stimulus for one man, can leave another man coldly indifferent.

It needs to be stressed that a man is not compelled to rape in this situation, but is placed in a situation where he is constantly thinking of ways to acheive sexual release. Social, cultural and environmental conditioning along with a multitude of other factors must come into play before a man could even contemplate rape. Almost all men can channel this need for sexual release into an appropriate form of behaviour. A man in a loving and monogamous relationship will naturally and unconsciously seek to initiate sexual intercourse with his partner. This is called marriage not rape.

A man's recurrent involuntary urge for sexual activity can hit him at any moment - regardless of his ongoing activity, his situation or the availability of female company. For example it can happen while he is walking down the street, attending a finance lecture, watching a movie or driving a car. It is very frustrating for a man not to be able to have sexual intercourse when sexual arousal is activated. Men do not willingly consider masturbation to be an acceptable alternative to sexual intercourse.

Men can be sexually oriented towards women they pass in the street, even though the man knows nothing about the women's personalities, ideas of right or wrong, or their mental capabilities - men are attracted by the mere sight of the female form itself. This is due to thousands of years of evolution. The urge to ensure the survival of the species is not conducive with the emotional demands of the modern relationship.

On the other hand, whilst women might admire a man's body, there is no physiological mechanism of sexual release to be triggered in women by what women see. A woman's sexual desire is generated consciously by herself in her own mind and, unlike men, women can go through their whole life without ever having the need for a sexual thought. Women find it difficult or impossible to understand the predictable, insistent, often unromantic, subservient and indiscriminate aspects of men's sex driven advances and therefore usually express anger or contempt for them.

Very few men and fewer women understand the physiological and biochemical forces within a man's body which govern his sexuality. Better understanding will enable both men and women to maximise their sexual fulfilment.
