Sex & Creativity

I thought that this chapter was very interesting in how it explained the similarities between sex and creativity, and then went into noting that male and female individuals are very different. However, I'm not sure I quite understood where he was trying go with the sex and creativity analogy. It's obvious that men and women are quite different; women are more intuitive, right brain users, while men are quite the opposite, using logic and analytical thinking. However, I feel that they are both equally able to create compelling, wondrous creative works of art. I think it is the atmosphere, lifestyle, and personal situations that affect one's creativity, not so much one's gender. I do think that as human beings we have certain desires and passions that somehow are connected with sex. And sometimes those desires and passions can help give life to our creativity.
