“Let Men Be Men,” says Author of “The Male Brain”
March 25, 2010 – 4:16 PM
Men to confirm our own self-knowledge, here recognized by an avowed feminist, that there’s nothing wrong with the way our brains work in regard to sex, because we are wired that way. Perhaps the biggest difference between the male and female brain is that men have a sexual pursuit area that is 2.5 times larger than the one in the female brain.
… At the same time, Dr Brizendine goes on to talk about the changes the male body goes through after childbirth, including massive decreases in testosterone, which makes dads more willing and able to help with the baby.
…Brizendine suggests that moms worried about leaving their kids with dad (if that is possible in the year 2010), consider that dads’ brains align more with fatherhood with more contact with baby. As we often say at GreatDad, baby bonding does work and moms and dads should take every opportunity to get physically close to the baby, especially if feeling ambivalent about parenthood.

…Otherwise, all involved continue to have different expectations of what is “normal” for other couples in their evolution from adolescents to adults to parents.

Ed Young challenged husbands and wives among his flock of 20,000 to strengthen their unions through Seven Days of Sex, his advice was — keep it going. … Young, an author, a television host and the pastor of the evangelical Fellowship Church, issued his call for a week of “congregational copulation” among married couples on Nov. 16, while pacing in front of a large bed. Sometimes he reclined on the paisley coverlet while flipping through a Bible, emphasizing his point that it is time for the church to put God back in the bed.

She suggests reading such recent books as 365 Nights and Just Do It , both books on couples who made planned effort to have sex every day for an extended length of time. … First of all, it’s coming from a “girl magazine,” so it might have more street cred than if you leave a copy of Men’s Health lying around so that she sees their promotion of every other day ejaculation for a healthy prostate. … Of course, the prize is a sweepstakes that will be won by some woman who has entered the contest without performing the requirements, but you don’t have to tell her that.
