The intense sex drive is wired into both genders. But Western culture has traditionally required and depended on women maturing beyond this adolescent phase and using responsibility and restraint. In other cultures, women are considered the irrepressible sexual animals. Many Western women have in the last few decades simply followed the lead of men in refusing to take responsibility for their sexual thoughts, impulses and actions. Both genders have the God-given ability to rise above animalistic behavior.
I agree that society was better off when at least women exercised responsibility and maturity in sexual matters. But I pray for the day when our culture and most men realize that they have the ability to mature beyond the adolescent raging hormones level.
I agree that both genders do have the God-given ability to rise above animalistic sexual behavior. But I do believe that it's much harder for men. Every high school boy I've ever known (including myself at that age) is thinking about sex almost all the time, and looking for ways to 'relieve' himself of that drive. Women are certainly sexual and have sexual needs, but the drive, in my observation (and that of everyone I know) is considerably less.
It's the ability to resist serious temptation, and to forego intense pleasure. It's much more difficult for men than most women understand, I think.
