Why do some people think women have higher sex drives than men?

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"

  • Because they are mostly guys who know nothing about female sexuality but make conclusions based off of the woman they have seen or perhaps what they wish was true. What guy wouldn't like to think that all women are uncontrollably horny 24/7? That would mean they have a higher chance of getting laid even if they aren't attractive or particularly interesting personality wise.

  • I'm asexual with a higher sex drive than my man.. he has a potato fetish actually so in order for me to be arousing to him, I usually have to dress in a potato sack and yodel "swEeT dAaAady"

    • That sounds very hot mmmm pls pm

  • I’m not reading that long-ass post. Women can masturbate pretty much as long as they want, they can think about sex without a guest appearance at any time, and the only limiting factor when they do have sex is how long the guy lasts

    • it's not even that long.

    • I’m lazy, shush

    • It is because of their sexuality is different to ours. Men can have multiple orgasms, somehow. But females are much "easier" in it, not really of course, when it comes to being with a partner. They can do have quicker an orgasm, sometimes even way before the male comes. But that depends on how much she is aroused (foreplay is very, very important).

  • the guys on this site are in no position to speak about female sexuality. they don't know what they're talking about

    • Intriguing

    • but you're one of the few savvy users who understands female sexuality/psychology

    • Thank you

  • I seem to always want sex my drive is a lot higher then my boyfriend and I love it! I definitely think girls have a higher one

    • Because you happen to have a higher sex drive than your boyfriend you think overall girls have higher sex drives than guys? Interesting

    • No I think it depends on the person all in all I don't think men have a higher one and I don't think woman do either but i do Think that a lot of women hide that sex is on there mind and that they want it just as much as men do

    • ... You don't. The general you, I mean. The female population "you." Not necessarily YOU you.

  • I do think men are hornier, that explains why I can't live with them when I have responsibilities, they want to fuck the senses out of you and waste your energy so you can't live the rest of your life.

    • Lmao.. What? 😂

    • LOL, sorry. But please find yourself an asexual.

  • It's tend to happen with people who know more about gender studies then biological studies.

  • Because they don't know what they're talking about

  • For a sex repulsed asexual you ask a lot of sexual questions... interesting.

  • The study misses, I guess, estrogen, the female hormone. And I guess we both have same high and low sex-drives. Sex-drive is not bonded to a sex, it is about many other factors.

    Please do watch this:

  • Women have higher sex drive than men.

    • No, both the same thing. Some have higher, some lower, some equal. It doesn't depend on a specific sex.

  • A big fucking GaG orgy with single-dose testosterone shots will fix all this confusion and bullshit. 😂😂😂😂😂

    • Ha ha ha. ;-)

  • Because they don't know what they're talking about

  • Because they themselves have an opposite situation for themselves. For instance, a man with a low sex drive may think that they are normal.

    • I can name a few here in this question already.

  • Because they don't know what they're talking about.

    And the overwhelming majority of them are female. That doesn't mean females don't know what they're talking about-- being male or female has nothing to do with whether you're bright or not-- it's just something I've noticed. Shame, to be sure.

    • You can self-study easily on the Internet. Just don't go to these pages where fancy-colored, short-haired men-hating lesbians are posting about sexuality... It is for 100% wrong.

  • I sure as hell do.

    • Let's be honest. Both have same, lower and higher sex-drive than the other. The sex (penis/pussy) itself or testosterone/estrogen levels might be the driving thing here.

  • How many times a girl masturbates in a day and, how many time a guy does.

    • If I had to bet money on it the average guy masturbates more than the average woman

    • Yeah, a woman might be 3 at max. But, a pervy guy can go around 7.

  • You’re definitely right when guys are in their teens and early 20’s, women just can’t compete but believe me it all starts to change around 25. I never thought my sex drive would start to slow down but it slowly does. I swear as we get older women are generally the more horny ones from 30-50. If they aren’t tired from work or dealing with kids they wanna bone down all the time.

  • I'm demisexual

  • I think it's got something to do with Menstruation... Men are fertile 24/7, or something like that... But Women only bloom every once in a while.

    • No, I had made love to my then-wife when she had menstruation.

  • Why is there a patato here.

    • I'm not sure

    • "Mash 'em, boil 'em, stick 'em in a stew..."

  • You're too worried about supportive data and empirical evidence, use less logic.

  • Who thinks that?

    • Fools.

  • Because women like to think they have a higher sex drive. But they don't understand how deep our depravity goes.

    • Exactly.

    • Lol well "depravity" has nothing to do with it but, yeah they like to think it because they can't bear to admit they're not exactly the same in something important; they're drawing a false correlation between "we are not the same," therefore "we are not equals," and they want equality. But sexuality and societal conduct are not the same things.
