i think it comes down more to emotion and manipulation than the physical act. Women know how to use their emotion and in ways are taught how to use physical to appeal to men. Who's better received, the pleasant looking female with ample breasts and a sexual charisma or the serious business woman type that's in your face and strong?
Society has a view, kind of an expectation of women, this is something started as soon as baby girls are put in pink t-shirts, and baby boys are put in blue right from birth. Females are encouraged to be emotional...males are encouraged to be strong...woman are encouraged to be defenseless maidens in distress or the tempting whore...men are either the noble defender or the man's man.
Woman were left with only one avenue to achieve any status, power or means to a better life...their sex and what they have to offer...emotion, and most do associate sex and emotion as being the same...sometimes it's almost too easy...
I was once having a battle of the sexes conversation with a group of men...this was during my more feministic times, they were saying that women needed men and could not survive with out them...naturally i was taking the defensed that a woman can do it on her own...one of the guys, a sexy blonde named adam visiting from seattle discussed his theory...
Men are left with an emotional void, being raised with the "real men don't cry" concept...women fill that emotional hole, i guess you could say the emotion that men are forbidden...if a person learns how to master, manipulate and use emotion...you know how to use what everyone has, but not all are adept in using...toss in physical pleasure and it could be considered a weapon...but that depends on how a person uses it...it was at this time that i emerged out of the "better sex" thought and emerged to my current state that each have their positives and negatives...( do tend to favor men however

)but back on point...
women tend to have that talent easier than most men because emotions are enouraged and nurtured in women...men are encouraged to be...well men.
fortunately these double standards are slowly being phased out...now it's not such a bad thing if a man cries, bitches or whines...and women are slowly showing they can be an intellectual force to be reckoned with, doing most jobs that at one time only men could do...but there's still a long way to go before a utopian atmosphere of equality and peace can reign between the sexes...unless a person partners wisely...but than that person has to be wise in the partnership, but that's a different story
but i have to agree with the original statement...i believe women do have an advantage when it comes to sex...for years they've been nothing but sex.
