Abstract
This article examines cases where heterosexual partners present dramatic discrepancies in sexual interest, with the male partner wanting more sex and the female partner wanting less. The main finding is that sex therapists tacitly assume that the couple will be better off if the female can come around to wanting more sex. The relation between that bias and the practice of sex therapy appears akin to the relation between a sculptor's hands and the sculpture. The two are intertwined intuitively, primordially. Sex therapists simply take for granted that a woman can and should attempt to match her male partner's level of sexual interest.
