XX

This entire week is going to be dedicated to the Female of our species. We are going to cover everything from breast size to their hopes and dreams. Enjoy. Oh yes this article is a re-gendered version of the male one. That was done to illustrate the similarity of experiences between the genders.

So where to we start? I think we should start with what makes a female. Technically a female human must have ovaries at birth. This does not take into account the social aspects of what defines a human female. This is what we are going to explore.

You've heard the adage you're born female, you become a woman. This is absolutely true. From birth females are bombarded with images of what a proper woman should be. The pressures are from our parents, media, and other children. It is impossible to escape the gender molding. This is not necessarily a bad thing as for a lot children being "normal" is a major priority.  Without these norms we would not have that social safety.

Eventually all females go through puberty, and develop all the secondary sex characteristics normally associated with being a woman. These include breasts and wider hips. In general, by end of puberty, around age 16, females have developed their idea of self. This includes their idea of where we fit into their gender and how that gender identity fits into their sexuality. 

For heterosexual women, falling into a submissive/feminine social role comes easily. This is an effect of the intragender and romantic interactions that have allowed for a assisted growth of self.  Those heterosexual women who fall into a more dominant and or masculine gender role may have difficulty adjusting to the expected roles of her gender.


For homosexual women this development is often retarded by a lack of proper role models and romantic relationships. Therefore it is often a lot harder for them to develop a solid and polar gender role, like their heterosexual counter parts. This often leads into the same issues of heterosexual women with a dominant/masculine identity in terms of social guidelines.

Some of the social traits traditionally expected of women include: physical weakness, mental strength, emotional expressiveness if not instability, modesty, financial insecurity, domestic excellence, physical attractiveness, and sexual discrimination. In recent years these have changed. All of these are in comparison to the male human and do alter with age. More than with males these requirements have become flexible. Many social changes in the past 50 years have made it more acceptable to break these guidelines.

As a product of the expectations placed on females, most women have not reached their sexually potential and often do not feel empowered enough to explore their own sexuality. In the next article we will explore that, and find ways in which women can express their sexuality without fear.

I got together a crack team of guys who worked as my panel. We sat down together in the man cave and we had a chat. I posed the question, "Do you think the y chromosome is degrading?" Most of the experts initially replied with, "what?" I further explained that the question simply sought an answer to if men felt that their position in the world is being eliminated or diminished by the increasing social equality of women. Their faces scrunched into origami and braille that read deep of confusion and surprise.

Eventually one of them opened their mouth and began a hour long conversation in which we covered many topics. However the answer to original question one that was not actually with words. It was answered with what my panel did not say. They did not once mentioned they felt encroached upon by womens increasing equality. So what did they say?

They said that sexual harassment cases and gender offense sensitivity were becoming both annoying and ridiculous. A court case against Burger King over referring to their company standard red cleaning cloth as a red rag, and a case against a mall for a Santa Claus saying "Ho ho ho" where both referred to. They all agreed that they sometimes feel uncomfortable in social situation with women, because they fear offending the opposite sex. I found that there was a small bit of resentment in the forced political correctness. This wasn't solely about gender it extrapolated out to other areas of social deviation.

So what does this say about our generation? I would venture to asses that for our generation gender is not as much of a social divider as it once was. Men are not considering their status as man based upon simple social interactions with women. They are probably looking to more academic or intragender competitive activities for that reinforcement. In terms of romantic interactions with women my experts unanimously agreed that they were able to separate their feelings and behaviors from their social interactions.

In summary the war is over, everybody won, we can all go home now. I am not so quick to believe that it is though. Everyone of my geniuses are all college educated, ages 18-26, varying races and social backgrounds. However I have a sneaking suspicion they might not be representative of the general public. So guys what do you have to say? Leave a comment below, email me @LTASEXinfo@gmail.com or on Twitter @ltasex

This entire week is going to be dedicated to the Male of our species. We are going to cover everything from Penis size to their hopes and dreams. Enjoy.

 So where to we start? I think we should start with what makes a male. Technically a male human must have testes and a penis at birth. This does not however take into account the social aspects of what defines a human male. This is what we are going to explore.

You've heard the adage you're born a male, you are made a man. This is absolutely true. From birth we are bombarded with images of what a proper Man should be. The pressures are from our parents, media, and other children. It is impossible to escape the gender molding. This is not necessarily a bad thing as for a lot children being "normal" is a major priority.  Without these norms we would not have that social safety.

Eventually we all go through puberty, and develop all the secondary sex characteristics we normally associate with being a man. In general by end of puberty, around age 18, we have developed our idea of self. This includes our idea of where we fit into our gender and how our gender identity fits into our sexuality. 

For heterosexual men, falling into a dominant social role comes easily. This is a factor of gender and romantic interactions that have allowed for a greater growth of self.  Those heterosexual men who fall into a more submissive and or feminine gender role may have difficulty in adjusting to the expected roles of his gender.


For homosexual men this development is often retarded by a lack role models and romantic relationships. Therefore it is often a lot harder for them to develop a solid and polar gender role, like their heterosexual counter parts. This often leads into the same issues of heterosexual men with a submissive/feminine identity in terms of social guidelines.





Some of the traits socially expected of men include: physical and mental strength, stoicism, endurance, dominance, financial security, domestic ineptitude, and sexual indescrimination. All of these are in comparison to the female human and do change with age.

It is understandable that with the great mass of people in this country there is bound to be a few men who do not feel they fit into this profile of what a man is. This can cause many different emotional and mental changes that can affect one negatively.  

What do men think about these ideals and norms? Find out tomorrow. We will continue this tread with comments from myself and other men on what they think of themselves, other men, romantic partners social norms, and women.

Defining Sex.

I will admit that “What is SEX?” is very lofty question that has more answers than M. Night Shamalan has bad movies and annoyed movie goers. It took me many hours of deep introspective thought and insightful conversations with friends to come up with the following definition:

“Sex is an act between one or more persons that has several purposes, of which include reproduction and stress relief, and can be practiced in numerous and ever expanding ways.”

I think that this definition is the best clinical definition of SEX that can be made. It is clear, concise, and all inclusive. However, it is clinical and removes the personal expression and intimacy that, for a large number of people, is absolutely essential.  So then what defines that SEX? Who can define that SEX? That answer is one of the greatest things about SEX; it is one undeniable truth.

We define SEX.

Each and every one of us has the ability to decide what sex means to us. Your definition could cycle every 13 minutes like clockwork and you would never be wrong. Sex can be anything from masturbation to an orgy to watching the neighbor that never closes the blinds do the crossword puzzle. Each and every way that you define sex for yourself is the correct definition. So that leads us to a new question, what is your definition of sex.

For me SEX is a dirty, slutty, intimate, awesome mesh of emotions, bodily fluids, ideas, heat, thrust, throbs, heartbeats, thoughts, grunts, caresses, looks, sways, hates, awkward moments, butterflies, spanks, issues, lusts, loves, mistakes, fears and the best idea that anyone has ever come up with. SEX is a messy, sloppy, embarrassing, ridiculous, scary, exciting journey that everyone should experience with themselves, one other person, twelve other people, a little person, an amputee and a priest. SEX is the most fun you can have without taking your clothes off, but it’s better if you do. SEX IS FUN. SEX is a Mighty Morphin’ Power play. SEX is a verb fest, and an experience that if you respect it and have not fear, can take you to places you never thought possible.

But this is just me, here is what you guys said:

“I'd like to say that I know what sex means to me, other than satisfaction of a primal urge, but I can't say that at all. But then again I could. It just depends on my mood… All I can truly tell you about sex is that I’d like to have some. And that’s all I have to say, for now.” Kevin, 22 (Full Text)

"Sex is an stress relieving sport that I'm addicted to and, I need to have in order to have a fully functional life. Sex with the right person could be moments of your life that you will remember for an eternity, but if not the right person I still need to bust a nut. I believe it takes 60 percent physical and 40 percent mental in order to reach a certain climax but, those numbers could change depending on attraction."  Kira, 22 (Full Text)
