Initiating sex

Following on from Ant's thread about it being the guys responsibility (supposedly) to ask the woman out, let's take it one step further and ask why women seem so reluctant to initiate sex themselves.

Well unless they are drunk.

In which case they'll pretend like they had no control over the situation and are saintly when sober. Yep booze loosens the inhibitions but I start to worry when a chick has cement on her inner thighs 95% of the time and turns into a raving nympho when she has half a glass of red digested.

Is the booze in short just a way of hiding what some consider to be the shame of making the first move or what?

Sadly alot of women seem to have been conditioned to think it's 'improper' to make the first move (not only in terms of voicing interest but in the bedroom). Just one of those antiquidated notions that doesn't seem to want to die no matter how often its beaten down. And sadly its one reason I never tend to date Italian women; because they are trained (for want of a better word) from youth to be submission and await the orders of the man.

There's nothing sexier than a woman confident enough to make it clear in no uncertain terms that she wants you, and to take the iniative to have her wicked way with you.

I sadly fall into the category of having to be drunk to make the first move. Then again I'm usually so sloshed if I'm being that forward, that I have no hope in hell of making it to the bedroom.

For the sake of my sanity, can we at least keep the boundaries between the males and females of the species clearly defined in some areas?

Men: changing of tyres, taking out of rubbish, instigation of sex

Women: the other 99% of everything that the men are too lazy to do in the first place!
