Perhaps "constant" wasn't the correct word to use, but there is most certainly a heightened awareness of the possibility of being charged with sexual misconduct among men now a day than there ever has been before. One simply has to be a man with friends to know that, it comes up in conversations all the time.. at least in my groups.
My perspective that "women only want exc..." comes from the notion I have (and share) that the majority of men who are having sex are exceedingly wealthy, attractive and muscular.

This sounds awfully like "men are being _caught_ today." Surely you don't mean that, right?
You said "charged," which invokes the notion of being able to prove sexual misconduct with an abundance of evidence. I really don't see any problems here. Accepting inappropriate sexual behavior (e.g. bad, not funny 'jokes'), makes sexual harassment seem not so extreme, which leads to assault, which leads to a culture that has hypocritical views on rape and women's bodies.
And if you really want to try to contest the extreme consequences of this slipperly slide, I'll direct you to a 1991 (!) ruling in UK (http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKHL/1991/12.html). Since 1736, it was started, under law that “the husband cannot be guilty of a rape committed by himself upon his lawful wife, for by their mutual matrimonial consent and contract the wife hath given up herself in this kind unto her husband which she cannot retract.” It took hundreds of years to recognize, legally, that rape is rape.
That is absolutely insane by any morally consistent standard. It's completely believable in a society that views women's bodies as property of men.
