Oh the poor men, jacking off to relieve the pressure just isn't the same is it. I'm starting to understand what Sharni referred to as frogshit. I've got a wonderful big brother who once told me that guys would try that line on me..."but Baby, I NEED it, I'm in PAIN, you're so CRUEL. If you won't give it up, I'll HAVE to find someone who will." He said that it was a wonderful way to identify the guys I should dump ASAP. It's bullshit. I'll tell my daughters so, and if they don't believe me...I'll send 'em to their uncle. It's exactly what he's going to tell his...and I pity the boy who tries the line on them.
Maybe if men lived as women for a month, they'd understand how for some of us sex isn't trivial...and just giving it up to save you getting repetitive stress injury is a bit insulting.

You've missed my points and wildly overindulged in your own.
Firstly, I wasn't referring to evolution, but to civilisation. Back in Cro-Magnon times, there was a very definite and daily need to fear - or die. If you didn't break out in a sweat from running from a predatory male every few days, you'd quickly be raped, then killed. Or killed, then raped. There SHOULD be no need to fear men in a modern, developed, society. 'SHOULD', however, was never a definitive description of reality. The consequence of the fact that there clearly IS a need for women to be on guard against unsavoury characters, in modern times no less, is indeed a tax that all men, even the noblest, must pay. Therein lies the point you're either missing, or more likely ignoring for the sake of bandying wordage.
Incidentally, your relatives were indeed correct that a guy who uses complaints of lack of sex to elicit sex is indeed a piece of lowest-decile trash who should be avoided. I must, however, wonder why he would think to warn you in of such a crass, transparent and low-class approach - that most women with half a brain would see through - with such strong emphasis.
As for your 'sister-friend' (interesting phrase...) lifting your bodyweight above her, all good and great. Shake her hand for me when next you meet. Really. But when she can press MY weight, then I'll be impressed. 60Kg is a warmup for some of the Neanderthal gals at my gym.
Finally, no, sex isn't trivial. Houston...we have found a point of accord.
