Hmm, I think culture can be a pretty powerful force, though many do find a way to wriggle out of the conditioning. Hard to say one way or another.

It seems to me this is a very female way of thinking, though. Female sexual behavior is constrained by such talk, or at least it works *often* enough. It also seems to me that sentences beginning with “men are taught to” are a female explanation for male behaviors.
