I also take this responsibility seriously, but I unfortunately do not
find it difficult to believe the above implication. One of my women friends
(i.e. not an SO) told me that every man she ever slept with (I don't know
how many) simply expected her to be "ready". When I expressed some shock at
this state of affairs (no pun intended), she was shocked that *I* was shocked!
