  • i really don't know

  • Because we're smart and we get bored easy.

    • lol sounds like a dangerous combination

  • No not so much , I've heard that lions can mate like 50 times a day.. Not sure though.

    About the Gorillas Their Females are real sluts .. They mate with more than a male a day.

    For Humans its Not all the time, I wouldn't have sex anytime (at least not now cause I'm kinda tired)

    Source(s) : Uhhhh...

  • Primates. Dolphins. They do too.

    It's that they're the only animals smart enough to realize what sex is and urges normally end up requiring sex.

  • Basically, females want it just as much but society (religion and male jealousy) has literally brainwashed them into hiding it, even for themselves.

  • Firstly women are just as "frisky" and even more than men when they reach their mid thirties. Women in the early 40's are constantly wet and are always having great thoughts. Human beings do not lol have a mating or dating season, men are always horny and women are right up there behind them. Humans still have that instinct to procriate and it is being misread as sex. We are just now a very complicated society and women's lib has changed the roles a bit(some good in my opinion and some bad). Maybe in 50 generations the need to have so much sex will go down? 25 generations? Will humans ever have a universal decline in their sex drive because of the earth's population? I doubt it but who knows what evolution or time will bring. Oh and many species like monkeys and dolphins are orgy mind sexed crazed addicts. Ever see dogs? Rabbitts? There are many other examples but nature is nature.

  • Because its promoted and advertised constantly day in day out, everywhere you look. Outfits, dress fragrances are made, to entice the other sex, or the same sex as in some cases. Animals lower down than humans don't have this, (they don't have their own billboards and hd tv's with say foxes or giraffes wearing mini skirts or speado's) and have other things on their mind such as tryna get that next meal and not being killed lol. Its all very simple. :)

  • because humans are the most superior animals on this planet

  • women crave sex as much as men

    • how do you know? your not a woman. I know I don't want it as much as the guys my age. Most of them are sex crazed and just want to get laid but I don't even care about sex.

    • I am saying older women..and women get hornier on their periods

    • well a period is once a month, a guy is horny all the time.

  • We were made to reproduce and have sexual wants and needs.

  • y do people want seconds at a meal when its not necessary for survival..y a foot massage when not necessary 4 survival..y TV when not necessary..y anything except air water food and shelter..because that that is enjoyable is never satisfied..if it was satisfied it would lose its pleasure..we all die soon..enjoy it

  • and if women want sex just as much as men do, why do they expect us men to initiate everyting sexual related?

    • Most women don't want sex as much as men do. We don't have as much testosterone in our bodies, which drives men to want sex.

    • There is estrogen in the female body, apparently you didn't do very well in Biology.

    • Yeah but testosterone gives you a much higher sex drive. There was a study where women with low libidos were given testosterone and it incresed their sex drive by a lot, but it also gave them facial hair lol.

  • To breed. I hear that older women, who are nearing menopause have a stronger desire to have sex, so to breed and perpetuate their genes. It's part of our animal instincts.

  • for humans , sex is a brain thing .. unlike other animals ..

  • Because we are mammals. The whole reason for our existence is to reproduce; therefore, it's natural for our bodies to constantly crave sex.

  • Maybe we've already taken care of our other needs -- food, clothing and shelter -- which have ceased to be as major challenges. Incidentally, not all humans want sex so much. It's mostly the affluent ones. I've known poorer societies, where sex is just a functional, occasional distraction! Nothing like the huge amount of energy that Western societies and urban areas worldwide spend on it!

  • All animals like to f***. Whenever they can.

  • Technically it's an addiction...

    It's caused by a special chemical released in the brain when a human has sex that makes you feel amazing (A kind of endorphin). The only way to release this chemical is to have sex- The result: Just like any other strong drug, you get addicted to it.

    There are theories that more of this chemical is present in the male brain than the female, thus making males more horny.

  • Because we can give birth at any time in the season and we live much longer.

  • I do it to feel connected to my husband. That's about it,and also some times it feels good :) and I"m bored and there's nothing better to do, and we are always lying on the bed when we are together... so why not
