One of the biggest differences between men and women is how they feel about sex, and how they actually go about the love-making process. For men, sex is typically quick and all about penetration and orgasm, while women need more cuddling and foreplay before actual intercourse. To use a particularly apt metaphor, men are like microwaves and women are like ovens. An oven has to warm up gradually, and a microwave can zap something from cold to hot in a few seconds.
If you really want to make your over happy and satisfied, it’s time to learn about what women really think, feel and expect from love-making. It’s also time to put your own satisfaction second, at least some of the time, and to make sure that your lover is getting what she wants and needs.
Remember, sex is a very important part of any relationships. It’s a chance for the two of you to connect closely on a physical level, and if you can’t, then you can bet that your emotional connection is going to suffer.

Answers to common questions men ask about women’s sexuality:
295) Yes, some women are turned on by pornography, but generally not as many nor as much as men. The reason for this is that men are stimulated by visuals, while women are generally stimulated more by other senses.
296) Yes, women masturbate—but not as frequently as men.
297) Yes, women have sexual fantasies. But whereas men tend to fantasize about other women, including strangers, women tend to fantasize about people they know, especially their current sexual partner.
298) Yes, women enjoy being adventurous in bed, too. Society used to repress women’s sexual creativity, but thankfully that is coming to an end.
299) No, women don’t stop wanting sex after they get married or get into a deeply committed relationship. In fact, a woman’s sex drive increases as she gets older and she becomes better educated about her body’s needs.
