Why do so many people on GAG think women have higher sex drives than men?
I know SOME women can have higher sex drives than SOME men. There are some women who frequently have an intense desire for sex -- and there are men who don't -- but on average men definitely have stronger sex drives than women do. I think even most women would admit that.
The average man just naturally has a higher libido than the average woman. Men have 7 or 8 times higher testosterone levels than women do. That has a huge affect on sex drive.
Yeah, some women want more sex than their male partners, but in general the pattern goes the other way. Pretty much every study and every measure fit the pattern that, overall, men are hornier than women.
"WebMD concurs, noting that study after study shows men with the stronger sex drive"
"According to Marta Meana, psychology professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, data overwhelmingly show that, typically, men have a higher sex drive than women"
Studies on female-to-male and male-to-female transexuals lend these findings additional credence.
A study of 35 female-to-male transsexuals and 15 male-to-female transsexuals also supports the impact of androgens on sex drive. In a longitudinal design that tested patients before and 3 months postoperatively, found a decrease in sexual interest and arousability among the male-to-female transsexuals, who were administered anti-androgens and estrogens. In contrast, the female-to-male transsexuals, who were administered testosterone, reported heightened sexual interest and arousability.
These data highlight the importance of testosterone in producing meaningful changes in sexual arousal and interest, even over a relatively short time.

"Men's blood testosterone levels are, on average, seven or eight times higher than women's. Studies have shown that women administered high doses of testosterone reported an increase in sexual activity, reports of pleasure and orgasm, sexual arousal and sexual desires relative to women administered a placebo"

Both sexes the same! Lower, higher, average, it doesn't matter. As long as you find someone with same level, you should be okay.

You're asexual
Yes exactly, thank you
You're welcome

I think it really just depends on the man or woman, and it's just men are way more open about it
Women don't need to feel ashamed to ask their boyfriends/husbands for Cunnilingus but they do. Men can relatively easy ask for a blowjob or anal sex.
I agree, the male sex drive is unnecessarily high. The female sex drive is just right.
No, it might be true for you, having a low sex-drive but there are also females with a high sex-drive. Just find the one matching your level (same) and you can be okay.
Because they are dumb.. They haven't realized what you have realized.. That we have sex because of emotional needs... They still think that our women brain is just like theirs.
Sad for some people to believe in it. But I can speak only for myself, so I don't generalize here. For me, sex with REALLY no emotions attached is not possible for me, I always do have emotions with it. So females are not alone with emotions in sex, I guess.
