hmmm. We must not forget that one or a few sexual acts will do to get
a child. So suppression is not such a problem I think. Also women can
be suppressing their secuality, but in a relationship they will be
under a strong pressure to let that go now and then (by the man that
is).
All seen in a statistical way of course, In specifici relations this
may not be true at all times. Culture will also play a part I think
in these matters.
