Male sexuality and sexual offences.

Men in contemporary western societies differ from women regarding several sexual expressions. For example, men show a more stationary, linear sexual desire, more often separate sex-life from love-life, engage in heterosexual or homosexual one-night-stands and more often buy sex from a prostitute. Some sexual deviations manifest themselves only in males.
