...Would they become more sympathetic with the male sex drive?

Too many women are either terrified of men, or annoyed at their lustful attentions. Too few actually CELEBRATE it, openly and joyously, except in bed.

Say the post-room boy walked around the typing pool with a hardon poking out from under his Chino's. Pretty quickly, he'd get the bums rush, and probably his P45 too (or american equivalent), amid screams of "Pervert!" and "Asshole!". Yet if Tingling Tess walked through the Accounts Department in a tight satin shirt, nipples visibly tingling along with the rest of her, the number-crunchers wouldn't run for the nearest Fire Exit, but simply stare appreciatively. I'm sure a few would like to drop their spreadsheets and spread her over their sheets...

(dodges rotten fruit!)

But, I honestly think that if all women had to live as men for just a month, pretty soon the typing pool would show reactions ranging from, "Oh poor thing, he hasn't been laid in ages!" to outright APPLAUSE. I can see some of the girls actually kissing our postal hero, and maybe one of them even grabbing his hand and saying, "Show me where you sort the mail at the back, and I'll help you sort your male thang on your front!"

Yeah, I know...another cheesy line!

But I think it would open womankinds eyes immensely, doing both them and MenKind too a big service. Both genders would be far more relaxed with each other, if they knew how URGENT our drives are.

Ps...I know some girls work in the mail sorting/accounts areas, and a very, very few guys are typists. Just using examples here to make points.


Jaybee.

It sounds like you need to get out more jaybee. LOL


I think that after you take matters in hand, (so to speak) and have a read around Pixies a bit more, you will see that there are a LOT of ladies that share and appreciate your feelings and thoughts. I believe our people are as healthy and typical as folks everywhere. Maybe only a bit more comfortable and open about it. It IS a personal matter, so perhaps you want to think about building personal relationships and not looking for societal expectations.

__________________

Ummmm...yes, I was aware that the ladies here at Pixies are refreshing exceptions to the above. I was talking TO them, not ABOUT them, and merely reminding them, and you, that the thinking patterns of most of their sisters, sadly, still suffer from societal constraints of Victorian severity.

And you're right, I need to get out a lot more. As do we all...

Unfortunately PF, I disagree with your statement that,
Pixies women are generally here because they have a sex drive and seek to explore it, not bury it. I do not believe this is the norm for the majority of women based on women I have talked to, friends' experiences, and magazine articles/radio programs I have seen/heard.

Further, I think Jaybee's hypothetical situation with the aroused male stated above is subject to qualifiers. If the post-room boy is well groomed, at least somewhat attractive or muscular, it's no big deal. He might even be secretly appreciated or discussed privately in the bathroom. If he is considered to be unattractive... too geeky, sloppy, or basically undesirable, he will be secretly (or not so much) ridiculed and perhaps even reported. Please understand ladies, I am generalizing here... but in general this is true.

I don't think women need to experience life as a man for a month to open up to their sexuality... I think they need to experience Pixies' for a month.

In memory of my friend skip...
Go then, there are other worlds than these

The qualifiers are certainly a necessary addition, although I'm not sure why you feel the need to apologise, ever, for stating a fact... If the guy is the 'Diet Coke Break' type, no problemo. If unattractive, the chances of an email winging its way to his bosses (and HR's) Inbox go up by a factor of a thousand. Reversing the roles, if a fat, sweaty lady walks through Accounts to drop off some paperwork, her visibly erect nipples will elicit ZILCH in the way of consternation.

Consternation...that's the point. Most women, to varying degrees, fear the male sex drive, or rather its possible consequences. Not a healthy state of affairs in the modern day. Most men find unwanted female sexual attention, at worst, a very mild irritant that is very quickly forgotten. I did a training course recently, and one of the delegates was an enormously obese woman who took a hankering to my big brown eyes and my nice, BBC accent. "Oooh Jay, I just luv your voice, they don't talk like you round my way!!"

She'd take every opportunity to brush past me when it was glaringly obvious she could and should have taken quicker routes. She'd ask me intimate questions that were quite 'inappropriate' for a relative stranger. She'd fall forwards onto me in the lift, breasts touching chest, 'accidentally'...the list goes on.

Now, swap 'he' for 'she' and 'man' for 'woman' in the above two paragraphs, and read them again.

Now, I wasn't OFFENDED, I simply pitied her. Nobody should have to go without, regardless of size/shape etc. I understood that her needs weren't being met, and acted accordingly.

But, imagine if the roles were reversed...


Jaybee.

I think I am gonna come back to this.

Boy I must be in the wrong place. No women fear me. Now Jay that British stiff upper lip is showing. I would run through fire and crawl over catus and even eat grits to have a woman fall on me in the lift or rub past me. How did you react to this? Further, I may not be reading what you posted right but it sounds like you are not comfortable around well rounded women? Jut to add. I am a nurse and have been one male to twenty females in the workforce and I can tell you that they can and do talk the same way as a group of males in a office or pub would talk. They are humans too. Plus they can be fired just as much as a male would if they acted in a way that would cause offence.

I never have a problem with a man flirting -- or even asking if I want to have sex with him -- as long as he does it nicely. In fact, I find it flattering. Now, if this same guy starts *stalking* me, then I have a different opinion.

Now, I have a whole list of men who I work with whom I would *not* toss out of bed, given the chance. I also have a list of Pixies I feel the same way about, in case you're wondering. Everyone else's attentions are, at best, flattering....

I am not the most ideal woman in the world. My curves have curves, and I have a very...polarizing...personality. I have absolutely no doubt that some of the men on my list would find me unattractive. That's OK...It's life.

If the opportunity ever arose with a man on the list, I might make a move. If he said no, I would move on and understand. I expect men to act the same way.

I don't think I've ever terrified women. Well, maybe one...but she should've knocked first!

You touch upon a very interesting idea in your first sentence. "Would they become more sympathetic with the male sex drive?" In my opinion...yes. And no. And maybe a little. It depends on the woman...and the male they spend a month as.

Speaking generally...I think we would all benefit from spending time as the opposite gender. In sexual ways and otherwise. Good Grief! It'd be nice to have even the smallest clue how each other's minds work, don't you think?

But the bottom line is, shouldn't we all already be trying to consider other people's feelings when we interact with them?

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

I think it transcends gender...it's about mutual respect, or lack there of, for me.
