I think we all know by now that that is a known fact

Desire for sex – libido is a natural system design to encourage men and women for sexual intercourse to produce babies, so that life is everlasting on earth. It is very clear that men and women – both are required to produce a babies, and so for sex. If one has high and another has low – the system will not work. I strongly believe that men express their desire for sex more frequently and strongly because of biological reasons, but women are at the same level for their sexual needs, if not more. “Sex drive” or “Libido” refers to sexual desire, or the emotion and mental energy related to sex. Libido is influenced by: biological factors, such as testosterone and estrogen levels, psychological factors, such as stress levels, Social factors, such as intimate relationships and many more. One person’s “normal” may be a desire for sex once a week, while someone else’s “normal” is having three sex drive every day. Sexual behavior is deeply personal, everybody has their own standard libido. There is a difference between need and want, men do not need sex more, but they really want it more. The cost of reproduction is much lower for a man than a woman. He does not need to carry a foetus around inside him for nine months, nourishing it from his own food supply. Nor does he need to risk his life giving birth to it. So a man’s reproductive fitness is generally improved by having many different sexual partners and this requires a high sex drive. The way women enjoy sex is different, it is not as aggressive as men, but it last for much longer time, and need to create environment for ultimate pleasure. Most women will wait, hang on, enjoy sex, and it is supposed to be a thing that grant to a man like a favour. You cannot measure “sex drive” directly, so look at a wide range of proxy measures. Men have more frequent sexual “thoughts, fantasies, and spontaneous arousal. Men’s “desired frequency of sex” is higher, too, throughout the lifetime of a relationship - they would prefer to have sex more often. Sexual desire emerges earlier in boys than in girls, despite girls usually reaching puberty and physical sexual maturity earlier than boys. Men initiate sex with their partners around twice or three times as often. Men are more interested in a wider range of sexual practices. Neither men’s nor women’s sex drives are right or wrong; they just are.

Because men were put on earth to rapidly spread their seed to create population where typically women get pregnant and have to wait 9 months. Sex is meant to reproduce. This is if you would like to get down to how our world has even became populated in the first place.

I think it is the other way around. Females need more sex than males. The only thing is that females are more conservative about it.

Females are wired to wait for males to chase after them.

Also part of the reason as to why males talk about it a lot, is because they have to work too hard to get some. Talking about it helps relieve the frustration.

I don't know if you have ever noticed, males who have a girlfriend to give them some, tend not to talk about it a lot. Compared to single males.

Well one, men tend to be more phsycially oriented so I think that plays apart in how we desire and give affection. Two we have far more testosterone then women and testosterone is essential for sexual arousal. The grand irony is that male testosterone levels decrease around 40 and women's increases so women in their 40s actually end up with a higher sex drive then the men (and then get pissed when the guy is uninterested in sex just as he was pissed at her for being uninterested when he was younger).

I don't think they do, it's just that it's not socially acceptable for women to admit to needing sex :)

sofiec · Answer

We all need sex
some people want/need it more, less, or not at all

Women are just a little less open about their appetite. Because if you aren't demure about it, you're a whore/slut/sleep around/gold digger/whatever. Men can talk about their conquests all day and get to be Genghis Khan or something.

and trust me. no men I've been with will say those words wink wink

How do you measure how much sex a person "needs" so you can make the comparison?

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I don’t think it’s 100% accurate.

I think guys say they need sex more, in reality they just need to cum.

whereas girls do need sex, not just the orgasm but the emotional aspect as well.

also they are not as vocal about saying they are horny.

ohshee · Answer

I thought they would that equal I don't know the answer to that. The only thing that I can think of is maybe 90% of men when they're having sex early thinking of themselves so that means they come faster and they don't get that feeling of being satisfied you're still chasing something and I don't even know what it is otherwise they would do it in the first place and that is making it all about her

At your age this is true. Ask the question again in 20 years.

Not necessarily. A guy just has a noticeable organ that they pay a lot of attention to

The_Maphio · Answer

It's also a matter of health. A lack of sexual activity can bring about illnesses to the testicles or even cancers.
That, and we are the "seed spreaders". So by nature we are in an untold mission to do so.
Basically it's all tied to our nature and our purpose as the males of our species. The fact taht modern humans have sex for fun doesn't take away the natural pulsions towards the act of doing it.

Jjpayne · Answer

I feel like it's our love language. We are attacted to the body and more so than women. Women enjoy more romance while guys enjoy more sexyness... Something like that 🤔

Mofunfour20 · Answer

It depends on the person. Men and women value sex for different reasons. Attractive men have more sex than ugly men. Attractive women have more sex than ugly women. You stated facts but cited NO STATISTICS. I think the question is taken from the context of your opinion because if this was factual there wouldn't be any need to answer it. Everyone would know just like we know water is wet

Perhaps because they have more testosterone, which tends to be a hormone that induces action.
