Yes, I know there are folks without human dignity who will carry their
animal instincts out to their ultimate end (rape, murder, stalking, etc.)
and you don't have to be female to realize that being the object of that
sort of behavior would not be fun. It goes without saying (but I guess I
need to say it anyway) that that sort of thing is not what I had in mind.
This is what I had in mind: When I was an adolescent there were some girls
who were so sexually attractive to me that I would have done most anything
to get them in the sack. I knew I had little or no chance of doing that so
I would pine away in sexual fantasy. If I was a female(particularly a
sexually attractive female) I imagine there would be no such sexual pining
away. If I wanted it, I could get it, from just about any guy I wanted.
(Or at least that's how my warped imagination perceives it working.)
*That's* what seems like fun to me.

Has to be." -- George Taylor _Planet of the Apes_ (1968)
