It seems to be a default assumption in modernity that men have always been sexually perverted and driven by lust. In Sex and Character, however, Otto Weininger makes the claim that the prominent role played by sex in the male psyche was a recent development. There's always been men with high sex drives, of course, but Weininger argues such men were less common historically and that, for the most part, men concerned themselves with non-sexual aspects of existence.
Is this accurate?
