The truth about female desire

I find this article interesting. The truth about female desire: It's base, animalistic and ravenous - Salon.com

Quote:

"Women's desire — its inherent range and innate power — is an underestimated and constrained force, even in our times, when all can seem so sexually inundated, so far beyond restriction," he writes. "Despite the notions our culture continues to imbue, this force is not, for the most part, sparked or sustained by emotional intimacy and safety." In fact, he argues, "one of our most comforting assumptions, soothing perhaps above all to men but clung to by both sexes, that female eros is much better made for monogamy than the male libido, is scarcely more than a fairy tale." This book — how do I put this without sounding hyperbolic? This book should be read by every woman on earth. It should be handed out to pubescent girls right alongside "Our Bodies, Our Selves" and be required course reading for Human Sexuality 101. It is a must-read for any person with even a remote erotic interest in the female gender.

I haven't read the book but it seems to refute many of the common mantras that are being repeated around everywhere including TAM about female desire.

Any thoughts about this?

Put the internet to work for you.
