The Importance Of Sex In Romance Novels

1577 Words7 Pages

Men aren't really sophisticated when it comes to getting turned on; often enough just looking at a great girl is enough to get us going. You see, unlike women, we respond incredibly well to visual stimuli and that's what you, as a woman, need to take advantage of, if you want to get a guy turned on.

For example, when you're reading a romance novel where the protagonists are having sex, you will, most of the time (and correct me if I'm wrong), try to or actually feel the feelings the woman protagonist is feeling. If a man was to read a romance novel, he would instead, visually imagine the sexual act - this can be a very tiring experience and that's just one of the reasons men prefer porn to romance novels.

Anyway, if he is in the early stages …show more content…

Sexually confident males (let's call them - men that have had relatively serious relationships - thus having a lot of good sex and are at least over the age of 23) are very attracted and turned on by sexual confidence in a woman. To put it simply, they wish and desire a sexual confident and sexually mature women that will either sometimes start sex or take control during sex. Why? Well, because these men understand the pleasures of sex and know how to have sex - they want their sexual partners to be on the same line thus having some GREAT sex together.

Not so sexually confident males (let's call them - men that have not had the chance to experience sex that often or have never had an interest in understanding sex apart from busting their nut) are turned on by not so sexually confident women (even virgins). Why? Quite simply because in their heads, being with a person that has never had sex means that she will automatically view you as the "great one" in bed. Although this may seem funny, it's sad and pathetic but it's a complex many guys have and this is just one of the ways they deal with it. For sexually confident and mature males, virgins are a turn off, a guy like that, would chose masturbation before he would take a girl's innocence

    The article Gender and the Meaning and Experience of Virginity Loss in the Contemporary United States suggests, “Young women, while more permissive than in previous decades, continued to value virginity and predicate sexual activity on love and committed romantic relationship, whereas young men continued to express disdain for virginity, engage in sexual activity primarily out of curiosity and desire for physical and welcome opportunities for casual sex” (Carpenter 1). This depicts the need for sexual activity rather than a romantic relationship by men and why they may look at women as sexual objects rather than ordinary

  • Analysis Of Alan H. Goldman's 'Plain Sex'

    Inside and beyond the myth and the social impact of the subject as One or Substance. Alan H. Goldman’s essay ‘Plain Sex’ is a central contribution to the academic debate about sex within the analytic area, which has been developing since the second half of the ‘90s in Western countries. Goldman’s purpose is encouraging debate on the concept of sex without moral, social and cultural implications or superstitious superstructures. He attempts to define “sexual desire” and “sexual activity” in its simplest terms, by discovering the common factor of all sexual events, i.e. “the desire for physical contact with another person’s body and for the pleasure which such contact produces; sexual activity is activity which tends to fulfill such desire of the agent” (Goldman, A., 1977, p 40).
