Ever heard of the phrase, "feminine energy"? David Deida, author of "The Way of the Superior Man", explains that men and women both have a particular type of energy. Masculine energy is all about clarity, vision, analysis, logic, and purpose. To give you an extreme example, Deida describes the caricature of masculine energy as "the macho jerk". It's masculine energy that's responsible for the typical male attitude to sex, which is persistent, steady, unfluctuating, independent of mood or emotion, undemanding in terms of emotional commitment, and is almost immediately a priority.
Feminine energy is more about being carefree, sensuous, vibrant, colorful, empathetic, creative, and expressive. People whose energy is primarily feminine are usually very emotional and communicative. They prize connectedness and interpersonal relationships over sex. Someone with a feminine energy would value cuddles and pillow-talk just as much as, if not more than, physical sex; someone with a more masculine energy would focus more on ravishing their sexual partner, with emotional communication and cuddling coming a distant second.
Deida also makes the point that not all men have a primarily masculine energy, just as not all women have a feminine energy. This is why some men genuinely enjoy discussing their emotions, dissecting relationship problems, and 'dishing' with others about the state of other people's lives and relationships. It's also why some women are professionally driven, economic achievers, are very focused on attaining set goals, and enjoy sex with multiple partners without needing or wanting much of an emotional connection with them.
You will find, though, that most people - both men and women - have an energy that exists primarily in accordance with their actual gender. I.e. most men have a mainly masculine energy, with aspects of femininity. Most women have a primarily feminine energy, with aspects of masculinity. For example, if push came to shove, the average woman would prioritize home life and family above her professional life, but it would not be an easy decision for her. She would still value her career very highly indeed, and devote plenty of energy and time to it.
