More that women, generally speaking, have less 'drive' than men, and so - biologically speaking - have less difficulty with abstinence (although most women do have several days of their cycle where their drive may match/exceed the average man's!). IIRC, there are studies/surveys reporting that most men think about sex ~ every 6-10 minutes; I don't recall what the figure was for women, but an unscientific poll of friends/colleagues suggested something like a couple of times a day (except for "on" days! ;D ). Informal discussions with friends over the years reinforces the following: he's walking down a hospital corridor, contemplating a difficult case, when he passes by a shapely (but *not* gorgeous) woman - he notices immediately, thinks about the _possibility_, then gets back 'on track.' A woman in the same situation may only register that there's a man in the hall, and does not think *at all* about any _possibility_.
