Men Seek Facts, Women Seek Relations
This article on ZDNet points to new research on male and female use of the internet.
"Once you get past the commonalities, men tend to be attracted to online activities that are far more action-oriented, while women tend to value things involving relationships or human connections," said Deborah Fallows, a research fellow at Pew and author of the report.
This is really at the heart of current design issues in sexual content in video games. The current sexual content out there is overwhelmingly designed for the straight male. New MMOEGs (massively multiplayer erotic games) in the works are hoping to take advantage of those human connections allowing for relationship formation. If these games can cater to both needs, so much the better.
