“When Women Wanted Sex Much More Than Men”

This would have to be one of the most interesting reads I found in a long time, it will really make you rethink history and female sexuality as we know it today. To quote:

A man could choose to give up sex with relatively little trouble, but for a woman to be so deprived would be much more difficult for her.
