Conforming to Social Expectations Question

Hi Nils,

You made a good point about the partners activity phrase, I hope the change I've made clears that up. Regarding the conforming to social expectations bit, that women were wanting to increase their sexual desire for the sake of their partners rather than to experience pleasure themselves implies that there is a social expectation that women should want sex as often as their partners do, and they feel obligated to meet that expectation. They may wish to meet this expectation out of love for their partner, but that doesn't mean it isn't an imposed expectation. As a thought experiment, why don't men wish they wanted sex less in order to please their female partners? Do you get what I mean?
