The impression given by the media is always that everyone wants sex, all the time.
Exactly. And everyone NOT having sex for whatever reason must feel awfully deprived. People who abstain on religious grounds are martyrs and/or saints.:D By that definiton, I could become a saint without lifting a finger... LOL.
I'm sure there are a lot more people out there who feel that way and are wondering what's wrong with them
Probably. Society has a tendency to assign a "disorder" to everyone who even slightly differs from the norm. And, particularly for women, I think the window of "normalcy" is very narrow. Lean out slightly one way or the other, and suddenly you're either "frigid" or a "nymphomaniac". I think I could easily be assigned either of these diagnoses, depending on the time, situation and especially the person I happen to be with.;P
