My most recent breakup said that men leave me because I always wait for the man to initiate sex. Could this be true? Do men need the women to be the aggressor? He defined it as, I should want to throw him in bed and rip his clothes off to prove I want him.

I don't believe it for a second. I think there are lots of other ways to show someone you love, care and want them.

Which of us is correct? Do women need initiate to show they want a man?

No. It's different for every couple. I suppose we're going to give "sample sizes of one" on this thread...mine is: I've been the one to jump on, and I've been the jumped-on, and either has resulted in a relationship.

By the way, I personally wouldn't take a lot of stock in what my recent sour-grapes-y breakup is telling me I "should" do sexually.

Sounds like BS to me. Sometimes it's mutual but in most cases the man will initiate.

Not saying it's right or wrong, it's just how it is in my experience.

That's not the only way to initiate.

I am not, just thought it would be an interesting topic.

Always expecting the man to initiate is eventually going to get pretty old and boring. It's also going to signal that you aren't really that attracted to him or interested in having sex with him.

He is 100% right.

I definitely gets to be a drag if I always have to initiate. It doesn't make me feel very wanted.

That doesn't work on every man. In fact, it might scare him off.
