Well I definitely think guys need to learn to start out slow and then build up rather than just assuming that the woman likes it rough from the get go...
It could be perhaps the guy had a lover in the past who enjoyed taking it fast. If I was straight I would want it rough and fast.

From what I heard though from my straight friends, they share the same complaint as you, Vill.
I think there are sexual roles for every relationship or affair, etc. Not really about the man or the woman. But more about whose dominating and whose enjoying. This role doesn't just happen in heterosexual lifestyle, which this thread is ONLY targeting. :sure:
So I'm bringing my lesbian ass in here!
I think most straight men presume women will fall over them. I think men like to take control to feel "strong, macho" to boost their ego. But I think they also need to feed their arousal by having a woman take control, which spices the variety.
More and more admit they want a woman to take control. I think this takes pressure OFF the man to perform. And sometimes women are known to complain about the sex like "its too fast, your not romantic," etc. I think this way by having the woman dominant the man gets a feel to understand and appreciate what his woman's fantasies are or what really turns her on.
Some women are too timid to speak up and some even have to fake orgasms mainly for the above reasons. When a woman takes control the man is sure to be pleasured including the woman because she KNOWS how and what she wants. She knows what makes her "feel good."
I think men automatically think they have to be "on top" or "king of the jungle." When they aren't too inclined to the idea. I have a couple of guy friends who just want to be seduced. And I also find more and more men lean toward older women because they are dominant or they are experienced.
I also believe each woman is different in how she acts towards her lover, the idea of sex, etc. I myself really can't comment because I'm gay and this thread relates to straight sex.
I know if I was straight though I would want BOTH submissive and dominant for myself and for the guy I was dating. I think most lovers grow tiresome of labels whether "top" "bottom" or "dominant" or "submissive." I think they want the best of both worlds and more are experimenting with it.
lol I don't think that related to the topic in anyway but oh well. :whistle:
