Disclaimer 1: As with any general rule, there are exceptions. I am making a blanket, general rule here, and acknowledge that it does not apply to everybody.

Disclaimer 2: This opinion is falls apart if you don’t believe that evolution is what really got us here in the first place.

With that out of the way, here we go.

Guys get turned on, sexually, in a very real, reactive way. That is, we look websites we wouldn’t want our moms to see ¹  and parts of our anatomy change, temporarily, until we satisfy that change’s function.

We also do the strip club thing. By we I mean dudes in general. My two experiences at the strip club left me with anything but a temporarily changed anatomy. The point is that there’s enough demand for strip clubs that there’s a trip club within 50 miles (45 minutes) of anywhere. Strip clubs featuring young ladies with little or no clothes.

Same with prostitution. You could go to any town anywhere and have a date tonight, no problem.

Lastly,  we tend to think in terms of, “I’d do her,” without bothering with, “could I do her?” and we do it with every girl we meet. Hell, we do it with every girl we see. Chicks in those amazing pants at the gym, checkout clerks at the grocery store, girls walking down the street.

Ok, so here’s the point: porn sites, strippers, prostitutes, grocery checkers. Actual women do not think even remotely the way that we do. How many girls do you know for sure have masturbated in an empty room, alone, looking at pictures in a magazine or on a computer? How many girls have gone to a strip club and walked away turned on ² ? And how about the percentage of dudes-for-hire that get hired by girls? There might be one, somewhere. As for checking out every single guy that a girl comes into contact with, I don’t buy that for a second. I never get checked out by girls. Guys, yes ³ ; girls, no.

So how on earth is it that we guys ever get laid at all? We have no idea what actually turns girls on. We may think we know, but we don’t. Every single time, it’s a shot in the dark (no pun intended) and a whole lot of hope.  But we obviously do get laid sometimes ⁴ . And the human race DID have to get perpetuated somehow. So how to reconcile the difference between guys getting turned on (insert panting sound-effect here) and girls getting turned on?

Well, this is where I say that whatever passes for girls being horny developed as a defensive measure: sex had to happen to keep the race going, and it was gonna happen because guys are simply larger and stronger ⁵  than girls.

When I sit down and analyze it, it’s the only explination that makes sense.

1. A lot of us have alternate web browsers installed for exactly this purpose ↩ 
2. I suggest that they go to the strip club and leave with the giggles. ↩ 
3. And even that’s not often. ↩ 
4. Well, you do. ↩ 
5. And dumb enough that the equation stronger + bigger = hooray! ↩

   Grampa took Honey to a strip club once because Honey wanted to see what it was like. He had to pretty much carry her out of there because she was laughing so hard. She got the giggles and couldn’t stop. I didn’t know that part about the alternate browser. Everything else you said was hard to understand. Are you speaking Spanish?

   Interesting topic. Very true about guys and girls, and I think you’re probably right about the defenisive mechanism thing. However, I do know a few chicks who are very sexual…however that may be more of a “society today” thing than an evolutionary thing.
