I read a study that said "My theory is that men need more sexual contact than the average woman". Do you this is right? Do men need more sex, and do men have higher sex drive than women? I think women's sex drive is just as high, maybe even higher than a man's and that women need a lot of sex too.
And who is the average woman anyway, lol!

my take on it...I think it's all individual and to generalize men and women is way to far fetched...Now maybe if she narrowed it down to a certain "type" of male or female and then studied it then maybe...

But to generalize that men have higher libidos and need more sex than women is just that a HUGE generalization...Not to mention it falls into the the stereotyping catagory too...How often have we seen women come to this board and say they need more sex for their SO...

As far as tending house and being more tired, that is also a choice...I get exhausted daily takin care of four kids especially now since my new found menopause...BUT..I have a choice the dishes can wait till morning so I can go spend some intimate time with my hubby...

It is one of those things that depends. I have a higher sex drive then my husband. I think sex is more emotional for woman then for men. I always thought men wanted sex more then woman. But in my case i dont think so.

This is a patriarcal farce foisted off on us in recent centuries. Over time the beliefs about female libido have spanned the full range, from women are voracious sexual creatures who will exhaust a man if given the opportunity (me! me!) to real women don't like, want or feel anything sexually. In some places they've tried to use surgery to make this so (that's not because they think women want it less than men - it's control and abuse).

With the ability to use MRIs and other tools to actually see what is going on in the brain researchers are finding that women respond just as strongly as men to visual images and other stimuli but they often block the response and are unaware of it in their bodies.
Basically the brain and body are disconnected, this is an emotional/training response (or lack of response). Woman's brains respond sexually but they aren't recognizing it or are suppressing it. Generations of suppression and training have created a situation that makes female sexuality/sensuality scary for women and men. This negativity is embeded in our languages, cultures and religions. Getting past this and retraining responses is a garagantuan task but vital as is affects the balance of power and our world view.

Well a lot of it is due to health. My DH had the mumps and it "fried" his testicles enough so that while he had a fairly normal drive when we met and for the first part of our marriage it went right down the tubes later. Now, he has to take regular Testosterone shots. That btw is amazing. Its like getting back the man I married.

Sex drive for me also went south when I reached menopause. I'm on HRT and things are starting to turn around for the better.

And based on what my friends tell me. Sex drive is about equal. Humm... I'm saying that wrong. Its not "Equal" in half my friends the woman has the higher drive in the other half its the men.

I couldn't agree more

The phrase 'their only after one thing' baffled me once I started having sex... It turned me into the monster and chilled him out more!
He likes sex in moderation and I like it for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, desert and tea!

I remember watching a show on tv about women who have sex like men...very interesting! An older lady stating her disapproval at the younger generations is pretty much what it was


Were people always as promiscuous as they are now? Or did they just keep secrets better

I'm too young to answer this myself because I simply do not know

I can't say that I've met a man yet that can keep up with my sex drive. Most men, not all, but alot of them require a "turnaround time" after sex. For some it's an hour...for some it's longer...for some it's shorter. For me, right after we both orgasm, I'm ready to go at it again!

So...to say men have ahigher sex drive? Nah...I doubt it. It's just that we're just now getting into a time in which we can openly discuss our sex drives as women. Formerly, we were considered "loose" or trashy to talk in that way.

"My theory is that men need more sexual contact than the average woman".

The average women?

Ive never heard of such a thing in my life. lol

That quote tells me alot about the person who wrote the article! Most important thing is that "HE(Im sure its a he) Has no IDEA how to sexually please a women"

The author saying a women is average just goes to show you his ignorance when it comes to women!

I KNOW women are much more sexual then men. They are told from an early age that they have to look and dress proper thinking about platonic things throughout there day. In actuality Ive found women are much more sexually aware and obsessed then men. Because they have to mask there thinking they're thoughts tend to be much more intense and descriptive.

If you want an example then compare your fantasy to that of a mans, or read "My secret Garden"

Hope this helps
Live laugh and love

[confused about everything]

i agree with women wanting more sex. i know with me and my relationship i want sex every day, more than once a day, but my fiance only wants sex about 3 times a week! we have actualy gotten into arguments because he wants to have less sex! lol it just goes to show that steriotypes are all ! lol!!
