I read a study of teenagers which found that quite a few resisted the conventional gender stereotype that teenage boys are far more interested in sex than teenage girls, (boys want sex) and that teenage girls want commitment while teenage boys don't (girls want love).

So what gender and (if you want) what age are you? Did you conform to the above gender stereotypes when you were a teenager and do you today? And if you had to choose between either sex and love, which would you choose?

I'm a guy. And actually at this time I would rather want love then sex...

Im a guy, and I'd probably start with finding a girl first..

I have love but I like sex - I'm a guy

And there are two parts to the question (though I didn't make it entirely clear). Did you conform to stereotype as a teenager and do you now?

I think teens want sex and love also, Although I would cheat and was cheated on as a teen. I would not cheat now and I do not believe I would be cheated on at present.

Answer to the second question, no and no. I want sex but not without love. I could handle love without sex for some time.. Thats apparantly not the image that most people have of teenage boys, so no I don't conform to that.

For your first question..., Michigan gals are even more special..LOL

Hmmmmm...do I now?.....Probably more balanced on both sides, if that makes sense....Mabe the love of sex...HAHAHAHAHAHA

hmmm, i'm in my 20's, and for the first time in a long while, I want love instead of sex( well one just barely beats the other).

Thats a first in many many years.

I s'pose I should answer my own questions.
Guy. 20. When I was a bit younger sex was more important than love. But yeh like fini I think if I weigh the two up right now love might slightly outweigh sex... just slightly. As for the last question, life with either one or the other? I don't think I could live a life without both... but I'm exempt from choosing because I started the thread.

Im a girl and im more interested in sex than commitment.

And if you had to choose a life with either one or the other?

That would never happen for me. Life is about middle path, gray area, not dichotomy.

Male, young adult, love.

male 30 ..........sex is more important .........love costs to much

Hmmmm, yes and no.

I actually had an aversion to those sterotypes, and thought most of them were "taught" rather than "natural".

I disliked dating younger girls for that reason, because they were interested in how I "look", I am a man of conversation, and believe in investing time and commitment.

Needless to say I've dated older girls ever since.

Male, 26,

When I was a teenager and in my earlier 20's, it was really all about teh end result...which was sex. But, in the last few years, I've discoverd that both can co-exist.

Yeah know C-Master I thought dating older women would be cool when I was younger but then I realized they are just as much a pain as the young girls.........

Come to think of it I've only dated older girls... but only by months not by years.

If they are in there early twenties thats cool, I'm talking about 15 and 16 year olds, I hated those days...

Hot and Asian . pr would droolio - he has like an Asiangirlphilia

My point X was that in that time of my life 15-16 sucked I appreciate that now I would NEVER go out with someone that young.....However at 18 and a freshman in college they NEED my help with life situations lol....

C-man Springfield, MO on HUGE college town

Love's more important.

I don't anyone really has a concept of how powerful love is untill they are out of it

Heart break is a lot worse than sexual frustration. Although they both suck !!!!!

Love is the better choice, of course. Sexual gratification is only temporary.

Male, 19

Not looking for a relationship soon.....wouldn't mind sex though...but also want a love (if there is any) later.....

Well, I have kids older that a lot of you, my oldest daughter is 24. I've been married twice and current have a GF who is in her late 20s and a lot younger than me. Love is a wonderful thing, but it takes work and can be really painful when it ends. Sex, when it is new, is very intense and above almost anything in life. Sex, even for fun with a fleeting partner can be incredible. Put the two together, and this is the best of all worlds. Unfortunately, the intensity never lasts. Most people would answer love but I know a number of people who are in their 40s and 50s who are still looking for true love, and wish they had had the great sex when they had the chance. many look back on short encounters with fond memories. I'm in my 40s, and I just can't answer this. oh, btw, I'm male.

When i was in my mid teens all i lived for was the weekend and getting laid...

Male, 15, prefer love vastly over meaningless sex, though if Carmella Decesare bent over and was naked I wouldn't say no.

I saw her on that silly reality show, looks a bit more.... "superficial" than now.

YEAH WE WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a girl (in case you havn't guessed) and I'm definitely looking for love but it's not my top priority at this point in my life. So for now, sex.

i just want love... im a girl

The majority of the girls have said sex, while the majority of the guys have said love. Interesting.

Not picky, I guess. Female-Teenager.

I'm willing to bet that if half the girls who claim they just want sex, found out that a guy they slept with was sleeping with another girl casually, they'd be out saying guys suck.

Generalisations and stereotypes are brought about because of uneducated people's prejudice. Everyone goes through puberty and everyone wants sex, and EVERYONE, even if they don't realise it, or deny it, wants to be loved. As for the question, I'd want both, not going to chose one over the other. Love is great, and sex is an instrument of expressing your love. One without the other is like a ship without a hull, its not going to stay afloat.

I would say that it is boys who are looking for that and girls want just to be love but is presure.I am not talking about al the time through.I am talking about most of the time.jm

That "pressure" wouldn't have anything to do with you being grounded, would it?

nope,I didn't fit the stereo type..I'm a female but I don't think it was either love or sex for me,it was more the thrill of the chase.

once there was conquest the sparks sputtered out and I'd move on..but now that I'm older I like being in love..but like kosta said its hard not to have one and not the other.

I'm a girl, 18, and my former boyfriend, now fiance, has finally decided to grow up out of his 'i just want sex' phase. thank god for small favors. But I'm one of the few, the proud, the engaged.

To all the girlfriends out there, I am entirely attributing to my engagement to luck of the draw....oh yeah and the patience of a saint. Most guys never grow out of it.
But if yours doesnt, it's got nothing to do with you, men are just hard wired to mate successfully and as often as possible, because they havent evolved yet.


Is it Aggrivating? Incredibly.
Is there anything we can do about it? Not a damn thing.

17/m, love. But wouldn't mind the latter

I'm a girl, and I think that both are important. But love is of primary importance of course.

I perfer to be loved. Ive never been loved before, Oh well....

there there...

My ex who has actually become like my best friend (is that weird?) said that of all her 10 or so boyfriends, I was the only one she never cheated on. It kind of made me feel a bit better about her leaving me. Oh Chelsea, don't you realise what I'd give up to have you...

...Sorry. Got a bit carried away there...

18, male, when i was in highschool i only really cared about sex...but ever since coming to college i dunno, i wanna find someone to love.......weird huh?

PVS must be right

It could be some special code that only the top 0.0001 percentile of the population understand... or it could just be gibberish.

I want both.

Im a girl, i love fallin in love but sex is good so i go 4 both really im up 4 any fun not all girls want sex as much as love!

loves on top ofcourse, but then again, once u have sex, u cant really stop can u? anyway id still give love the top spot.

girl looking for love

I love all women for how they are not for the sex.

This thread confuses me

Look, the point of this thread is to re-enforce the old adage that men want one thing, and women want another. In either case, are either side right. As soon as this world realizes that there are no such thing as absolute stereotypes, it can evolve. But, too bad it won't do so....

I guess the past should never be kicked when it's down.

I didn't have the intention of reinforcing the adage with this thread, I was more interested in investigating and challenging the stereotype perceptions of male and female desires. But it hasn't really turned out that way.

Don't misunderstand....
