I'm not buying this...
Aug. 14th, 2006 12:33 pmThe BBC posted the following story:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4790313.stm?ls
The article claims that when women feel secure in a relationship their sex drive decreases, and then goes on to claim that that this may be an evolutionary response. In contrast, what I see happening is that women in steady relationships are so exhausted from work and kids and housecleaning and everything else that they just fall asleep, or that there's just never time. This possiblity was not raised -- they just went straight to the 'oh, it must be how humans are wired' argument.
I'm also not buying the 'men don't care about tenderness' claim. I suppose one would need to define 'tenderness' according to this study to make sense of it.
