Like I see tons of quotes from women just like this, but 0 from men.

"1. I am NOT interested in a friends with benefits situation, if this is what you are looking for, then I suggest you move on to the next."
The statement above in NO way implies that women put on airs about or dislike sex. It means literally what it says: She's not into sleeping around and is looking for something beyond just sex. It doesn't say she won't engage in premarital sex or dislikes sex; it just means that she's not going to sleep with a guy just for the sake of getting laid.

When I was online, I had that statement in my profile because I had so many guys message me specifically asking if I wanted to just "hook up." Once I added that line, the number of requests I had for hooking up decreased. If I only wanted a FWB, then I would advertise for one or find one. Since I'm over the FWB stage, I feel it's important to let any potential suitors know that up front. When the time's right, the sex will definitely happen. You need to get to know women a little better if you think that line implies a lack of interest in sex.

It's not that they don't want sex or whatever. It's just that they seem to have it easier in this department (all the thirsty boys running around) If sex seemed a little more out of their grasp, then they'd probably want it more.

Think about it, if you had an abundance of something, and you could get it easily, you'd probably appreciate it less compared to something you have to bust your ass for (provided the pay off is worth it).

But no, the idea that woman don't want sex as much as a man is not always going to be true. While some men have raging libido, I've come across women that make me seem prudish. (then again, I don't seem to have that high of a libido and I'm only in my twenties.)

Also, a lot of it is perpetuated by the media. We are supposed to be desperate hyper-sexual horn dogs and women are supposed to be in control.

Very much agree with this. A healthy relationship is so worth the effort. And with the right person, the effort doesn't feel like it takes any effort at all. A good relationship is work, but if you're doing it "right", it's not work like drudgery, more like putting in your best and doing what you need to, to keep the relationship happy and fulfilled for both parties. I am blessed to have that kind of relationship now. We are the same in so many respects, compatible with our outlooks, goals in life, shared wit/sense of humour, so even with our differences, it seems effortless.
