I am right there with you - when it's been a while, it's a pretty exciting event.
Reminds me of the scene in "Bridget Jones' Diary" after she's been with Hugh Grant for the first time, she's cruising over the Tower bridge and everything's in hyper-detailed, hyper-saturated color, the world is singing, and she's grinning a mile wide.
I'm still unconvinced. If most women were as sex-focused as most men, Chippendales and Playgirl would be as lucrative as titty bars and Hustler. and we all know the score on that.
Well, not in those exact words. I've heard plenty of women say "I need some cock, now"
I think roughly 75% of my life's sexual encounters were based on that thought. So, I probably could've been replaced by a dildo duct-taped to a two-by-four. But, whatever, I'm still grateful.

The problem with that stuff is that women know how totally fake it is. It's just not very exciting - those guys are stupid-looking, and they're doing it for the money. Only the real thing will do.
I don't know how 'sex-crazed' most women are, really, but me and my female friends seem to have very healthy sex drives. In fact, I've had more than one relationship where I had the much stronger drive than the guy.
[followup] another reason: In a lot of cognitive-science stuff I've read, it seems to be pretty common that men, on average, take in more via visual perception than women. Although I never take gender-difference studies without a grain of salt, that's probably largely true. Pictures just don't have as much power for most women as, say, words and sensations.
truth be told, I'm kinda looking forward to my sex drive decreasing/disappearing since it's caused me more aggravation and heartbreak than anything else. Then again, I'm also looking forward to the old folks home, so what do I know?
I was going to try and get laid by my birthday in April, but I think I'm taking this entire year off from sex. Got laid exactly twice in 2005, so why mess with a streak?
