If you reread my following quote, it will be clear that I was generalizing and wasn't talking about YOUR PERSONAL impressions at all but of my general opinion of where sexually dysfunctional ideas come from:

Its the advertising industry that is responsible for saying sex should be had all the time or your a loser not so much "many people" though your ex is an exception.

It was stated in the manner of an explanation of the way things are.

No it wasnt. Here is my full quote

Im sure many young guys think sex should be had all the time but thats the way it is physiologically when you are a male teen/twentysomething but Im sure most dont go around criticizing their partner like your ex did.

Notice the words in bold italics above. I was quite clear that these were my personal impressions and opinions and wasn't stating unequivocally that "this is definitely the way things are"

I didn't make it clear that the assumptions are about such men being rare exceptions and the media creating our impressions that they are common.

Im not sure what you exactly mean here but its obvious you are making assumptions again. I never said anything of the sort about the media creating an impression that that "such men are common but that they are actually rare exceptions". That is clearly your statement, assumption and projection. Please carefully re-read that paragraph above.
Just for clarity, the paragraph I wrote above is trying to make 2 points
1) That it is my opinion that the advertising industry (and media in general e.g. movies TV etc.) originated, is responsible for and propogates the message that "if you dont have sex all of the time you are a loser" not "many people". Your ex is an obvious (not rare) exception when it come to the propogation of this message.
2) It is my opinion that the majority of young men believe sex should be had very very often but it is also my opinion that the majority of young men who feel this way will not belittle and criticize their partner as your ex did to you.
I hope this makes things clear
