Why are men and women different in their views on sex?

Men and women tend to be more similar in their views of sex than many realize or acknowledge. The biggest contrasts tend to be more due to social pressure than innate differences.
Typically, for men, sex is an achievement and something to be proud of, according to society, whereas women are ostracized for enjoying sex too much. These are due to perceptions of sex being more typical of a man and being more desirable for a man, when in reality women desire and enjoy it equally, but are pressured against it. The differences in genders is not inherent and should be understood in the context of societal taboos and morals that pressure the different genders into disparate roles. There are many negative results that come from these social expectations, including entitlement towards sex and pressure to have it, which would lessen were the genders treated equally in regards to these issues.
