Sigmund Freud once raised a mind babbling question, "Of my 30 years of research into the feminine soul.... What does a woman want?" This is not an easy question and perhaps, even those superwomen themselves didn't know the real answer. But I have read a powerful article, written by Danial Bergner, in NY Times that explains the inner mysteries behind female sexuality. Whether you agree or disagree with the sexologists' empirical and speculative findings, the study still produces a powerful standpoint to separate cultural biases from objective biological truth.
Reading this article is a big and insightful revelation. Never expect something that is so predictable till you reach its end. Don't want to believe me? Allow me to extract some of the most powerful statements from the study,
"...why women are aroused physiologically by such a wider range of stimuli than men."
"...men are better able than women to perceive increases in heart rate at moments of heightened stress and that men may rely more on such physiological signals to define their emotional states, while women depend more on situational cues."
"women’s desire is not relational, it’s narcissistic"
"women might set a high value on the closeness and longevity of relationships"
"What women want is a real dilemma... Women want to be thrown up against a wall but not truly endangered."
Sounds interesting, right? To read the full version, visit NY TIMES
