ABSTRACT
Contrary to “pop psych,” adult men and women in serious relationships are not so sexually different. Men are not from Mars and women are not from Venus, although they, of course, do have conflicts-often about sex. The topic of gender similarities and differences is very complex. Conflicts vary by the type and developmental phase of your relationship. Honor genuine gender differences and celebrate gender similarities. Don’t be controlled by stereotypes or engage in the hyped gender wars promoted in the media and in bar room talk. We urge you to be wise in examining gender issues in your life and relationship. Focus on how these can enhance your couple sexual style.
