Ha! Never has the contention of a title (that men are bad at feelings) been so proven true by the content of the article.

"If a large factor in holding back female sexuality was social pressure then it follows that women would be more likely to use anonymous or pseudonymous sex/dating services than they are."

What if the societal conditioning was so strong that it meant women were likely to avoid seeking out even anonymous sex and masturbating because they "knew" it was wrong.

In the ancient greek world it was common for men to take other men as their lovers, but now only a small percentage of men to so, maybe society (or nurture) has more power over our sexual impulses than our genes do.
