Question:
I have a problem with your "Getting Snipped" answer to your young niece. You
explained that men and women have different sex drives because they produce sperm
and eggs, respectively, at different rates. Aren't you just propagating a gender
stereotype (pun intended)?
Goofball Answer:
Curious Party,
If I was endowed with "women's intuition", I would say I know who's asking this question. But I'm a man, and therefore only know stuff about sports and how to hook up stereo equipment. So your identity is safe.
Note: I bring this up because half the fun for me is trying to guess who all the "Curious Parties" are. You see, when you submit a question anonymously, the notice I receive simply says, "Curious Party."
But to your question, Curious Party:
I'm going to focus on my future well being and answer your question with the utmost care. It would be unseemly if any women got offended by my answer to your question and tried to prove me wrong.
Women can have outstanding sex drives—equivalent to and often better than men. And those who know me know I've crashed enough bicycles for 100 men. So if the correlation between sperm production and male sex drive was actually telling in any real way, I wouldn't be joking about such things.
And let's face it men, if we were better wrestlers...
