I think everyones dream is really to be loved, but particularly in their youth, men seem to value sex more highly because it builds their self esteem and seems to make them feel more masculine to have several partners etc. and show off to their peers about it...I think for women, having a loving boyfriend/being in love in their youth is a greater priority but I think as time goes on i,e 30's and 40's men and women kind of catch up with each other and want mroe similar things...but if the question is as ever essentially about whether men are on the whole intrinsically more driven by the pursuit of sex than of love and women vice versa, then, the short answer is yes... xx

i feel like that's the most common stereotype surrounding the two sexes.  It solely depends on the individual, not the sex of the person. Both men and women experience raging hormones in equal quantities. Thus, both of them want sex equally as much. It depends on whether or not the individual publicly portrays that or not. in that case, men are more often know to publicize their need for sex more than women. on the other hand, women may publicize their endeavor to find love more often then men, but that doesn't mean that there are less men that want to find love.

It's different for every girl, and for the point in her life that she is in. Some women like casual sex just as much as guys supposedly do. Some women aren't looking for anything serious and just want some fun. But in general, whether you're the type who can separate sex & love or not, most people, guys included, want love more than sex. You just have to meet the person that makes you feel that way.

But yes, to answer your question, most women want love more than sex. I know I do. It's worth so much more.

Look at it this way. Sex is just sex, but the better it gets, the more love you feel. So, if girls claim to prefer love over sex, what they really mean is that they want really hot sex and will settle for nothing less than that.

i think what you describe is _broadly_ accurate. one of the commonest problem on this site is women who assume that sex has the same emotional resonance for their man as for them.

Different people prefer different things. You shouldn't stereotype entire genders. I know I completely prefer love to sex, and I'm sure a great number of males feel the same way.
