There's no proof for this concept anywhere, other than the 'common-sense' notion of men making millions of sperm and women only dozens of eggs. This is social conditioning at its finest - fitting the world to fit your views, rather than the other way around.

All people like sex, dudes, that's why we evolved into sexually-stimulated creatures. Societal issues provide the outside pressures. Humans don't use "instinct" anymore, just like we largely don't macro-evolve - you are misusing the word "instinct" to describe tendencies here if you think otherwise.

Here's another theory that carries just as much weight as any other: Anyone, male or female, would be a 'whore' if we existed in a vacuum (ie no one would ever know), and had unlimited access.
First off, condescension is unnecessary and not appreciated. Maybe that was unintended, but it came across that way to me. Secondly, i'm not a psych expert so maybe my use of words was incorrect. I was using the word instinct to generalize the behavior of most men. I don't think that a pattern of behavior in humans and in animals quite qualifies as anyone fitting the world to their views. I think that ideally (if the world fit to my views) I would like men (actually one guy in particular) to always be at the same place in their life as I am....haha I'm not saying it's a license for anyone to be an asshole, it just explains a few fundamental differences between men and women. I'm not quite sure why you have a problem with that type of thinking, but if natural human behavior is different then we all think it is then please, explain it to us...
