Same thing goes for guys. We're expected to have 8 foot cocks that fill every last nook and cranny and not even think about cumming until the girl has already had 1500 orgasms and only then may we cum.
Nobody says this.
Their problem, not anyone else's
How all-knowing of you!
You're saying you don't see the article as blaming men for everything and in the same comment you're basically saying that men are the cause because we have unrealistic expectations and "society" is telling you to shut the fuck up. Neither of those things is true. The mental gymnastics you're doing must be absolutely exhausting. Keep spinning that hamster wheel

I really think you're just looking for offense where none is actually being given. But anyway...
These unrealistic expectations don't come out of nowhere, and I didn't say that they do. I don't blame men just for having these expectations. As you pointed out, society sends men erroneous messages about sex, too. Is it any wonder they think real sex should be a like a porn movie? I don't think it's surprising.
I'm not sure how this attitude would help a woman feel more inclined to talk about it. Look, I get it that if she doesn't say something, you (general "you" here, not you, specifically) can't be expected to read her mind. But on the other hand, your partner knows whether you generally care about her feelings or not. If your attitude says "not," this this partly how couples get into this cycle of one person being dissatisfied, not saying anything about it, getting mad because the person doesn't just read their mind, the other one feeling unfairly attacked, and around and around...
Last time I checked, women were part of society, too. So, how can I just be blaming men here? Actually, as I was writing that post, I was partly thinking about all the mothers out there who fail their daughters by not discussing these things with them before they go out into the world.

I'm looking for offense? You started this whole "woe is me, women have it so tough" shit.
I imagine this is pretty close to how you are. Thanks for the laughs this morning, you're hilarious
