How does gender affect sexuality?

What will be an ideal response?


Gender stereotypes shape our opinions about how men and women act sexually. For example, if we believe that men are more aggressive than women, we might believe that these gender stereotypes carry over into the bedroom as well. Traditionally, men are viewed as the initiators in sexual activity, and they are the ones who are supposed to make all the "moves.". Stereotypes about women, in contrast, hold that women are more emotional and connected when it comes to sex—that is, more into "making love" than "having sex.".
