If we’re being honest which gender do you feel typically has the highest sex drive?

We do. Not only is this supported by science, but it makes sense from an evolutionary perspective.
From the perspective of species evolution, males and females serve two different roles and this is beyond that women give birth and men sire children.
To understand what I am about to say, we need to look at some facts of life:
1. The male gamete is the spermatazoan - the sperm cell. Males make billions of them each week. Sperm are cheap. A male can shoot his load squirting out zillions of sperm and it's no big deal; his testicles are very busy making more. So what if a hundred million are wasted jerking off or having a random hook-up because he will always have more. There's no shortage of sperm in the world.
2. The female gamete is the ovum - the egg cell. Women have maybe several hundred of these her whole life. She loses at least one each month and there's no replacing it. Eggs are priceless.
OK, now to the roles...
1. The role of men is to maximize genetic diversity.
Genetic diversity is important in a species because it helps protect the species from extinction. A species is healthier and more robust to problems if its members are genetically diverse.
Because men have sperm and sperm are cheap and men don't build babies, the logical thing to do is give men the order: "Fuck early. Fuck often. Fuck as many as possible whenever you can." In this way, a man's seed going into many women spreads his genetic wealth. And, so what if one of his kids dies. No biggie.
He can literally have thousands of children in his lifetime so the loss of one is not that critical to him.
2. The role of women is to be the architects of our species. Women are more selective than men because their eggs are few. They can't afford to waste them and they want the best genes to go into their babies so their babies can survive. So, women (when not drunk) select men that turns them on - that they feel may produce good children and that the man may be a good provider. A young woman may get horny, but her reproductive system is all business. It will even shut down the menstrual cycle if the body thinks its under duress; for instance, if a woman is very very thin and has insufficient body fat, the body interprets that it is not getting enough food. Not enough to gestate a healthy baby and keep the mother alive, so it shuts down to save those valuable eggs. Anyway, by choosing men to mate with, women are choosing what genes get passed along to the next generation and which ones end up in the genetic trash heap of history.
========
OK, so back to your original question...
Because men are responsible for genetic diversity and that is important to species robustness, men are horny - it motivates them to spread the seed as best they can.
By contrast, women may get horny and want to engage in sex, but they don't have the same drive to fuck every male under the sun because they do not have that evolutionary directive to spread genes like males do. Indeed, if she did attempt to do that, that is detrimental to the species because she may not be able to bond with a male to help her raise her children... (and males are instinctively more inclined to raise their own kids than some other male's).
Thus, it only makes sense that, generally, males should be more inclined to have a higher sex drive.
And it's reflected in the biochemistry... Testosterone is a key hormone affecting sex drive. It exists in both men and women and, the more you have of it, the hornier you become. Well, men have a lot more of it which is how they are hornier. The horniest a male is going to be is when he is a teen - when his testosterone is peaking and helping re-engineer his body from boy to man.
It is completely flawed logic to think that men naturally want to hop to every bitch to impregnate her. Its important for men to stick around and stay with the one he impregnates so he can provide for her and the baby. Also pregnancy is the time women are the most horny in their life. There is a obvious reason for this. If women were just in it for the baby they'd stop wanting sex once they got pregnant but the opposite effect happens. So I can't see how a man would possibly keep up with the stress of multiple baby mamas that situation just isn't natural
@Apple1996 Actually, you're right. That's the 2nd half of it and I didn't discuss that because it's not germaine to answering the question.
Love evolved as a way to more strongly bond a male to his female thus assisting her with doing her job - bearing the child and keeping it alive. A male in real love OVERRIDES his older instinct for polygamy.
Womans sex drive is off like 25/30 days of a month. But she will have more sexual thoughts than a man. due to how women have 50% less testosterone and serotonin on average. Making them more likely to think sexually but at the samr time less driven to have sex.
Women appear to manufacture much less of a key mood-regulating brain chemical than do men, which could help explain why women are more likely to suffer from certain types of psychological problems such as depression, Canadian researchers reported yesterday. May 13, 1997
Hypersexuality is linked to depression.
Hypersexuality can exist as a sign of bipolar disorder or on its own. Also referred to as compulsive sexual behavior or sexual addiction, hypersexuality is described as a dysfunctional preoccupation with sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors that are difficult to control.
Testosterone is an important sex hormone in men and women that affects many and varied bodily processes. Testosterone is one of the hormones that stimulate male and female sex drive. A low testosterone level (“low T”) can cause low libido, along with many other symptoms.
It really depends. Men have a sex drive that compels them to have sex and cum. Women have a sex drive that compels them to make a connection. While men fuck, cum and have a clear head for a bit, women have difficulty finding that connection thus leaving them unfulfilled.
So the reasons for having a strong sex drive are vastly different. I’d say that both are equal but that women are expected to hide their desires and men are accepted to just have a strong desire.
Definitely women have higher drives. Men might express it more more than women but it's simple when you think about this, men die after one round of sex. Women are like I need like five more rounds to at least feel a little satisfied. If men actually had a higher drive they'd would be able to keep going and that's the truth.
@bones0271 men definitely dont get more relief. Orgasms are more intense for women and that is a proven fact. For me the more times I orgasm the more I keep wanting so I can chase the feeling. It's something guys just can't understand cause their body is done after 1 or 2 times
First off pleasure has nothing to do with relief and having more pleasure does not give more relief and secondly the amount of pleasure is not known because men and women are so different that nobody can know the difference and third of all each men is very different because the level of testosterone is what dictates pleasure to a certain level and testosterone levels are different in each person
That's a damn lie, and has no basis fact or evidence other than you and maybe a few people you know. 😂😂.. Very few women actually want to go several rounds, just like very few women have multiple orgasms. It's a scientific fact that testosterone builds higher sex drives.. Women have "hormonal moments"..
@JDavid25 you do realize women count more on estrogen for their libido.(this is why old women/also breastfeeding women struggle with sex drives and getting wet. The body is so low in estrogen that the sex drive slows down for them) We have very little testosterone and it doesn't do much for our sex drives just more for men. And all women are capable of multiple orgasms. It's that a lot of them dont want to waste time on multiple orgasms and rounds. I know personally I could go all day pretty much every day unless I go numb then it gets unenjoyable.
Where is the Science that says that? Cause estrogen affect men and women the same.. If a man has more testosterone he develops hips and fat in places a man normally doesn't grow fat in.. He also has a lower sex drive.. Same as women.. Testosterone is what Universally makes people more "masculine".. If estrogen drove women's sex drives then women would be as ready for most men as guys usually would be for most women.. The site of a vagina is enough to make a man wanna do a woman.. Can't usually say the same for women..

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!About evenly I'd say. Women just typically express it in different ways than guys do. Also, certain cultural stigmas, barriers, double-standards and even shame can (sadly) prevent some women from fully expressing their sexuality, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and that a woman's sex drive and needs aren't as high as a guy's. These are generalities, of course, as the sexual spectrum is incredibly wide and complex, so there are many levels of sex drive, as well as extremes at both ends of that spectrum. Regardless of gender.
I always thought it was age based, guys hit the desire in teens, girls later.
I've always always had to be the one to initiate it. Plus no girl has ever told me she is horny or wants sex.
As a teen I thought about sex every second of every day, heck even now at my current age I think about it, say every couple of minutes. On a good (non work day) will have sex 4 times a day at least, but since it can take hours each time... just not possible to do on a work day.
At the same time there are people who just are not that into it, I have a male cousin who really has little interest in it. I also know a woman who says, its okay... not that great.
Might have nothing to do with gender, but yet I've never had a female tell me she thinks about sex, every second of every day.
@Apple1996 See and most women will never admit that to a man, I suppose if they do in person he'll think its a opportunity and offer.
Men, no question. Many people somehow have the idea that women have NO sex drive, and for reasons I'll never understand, even many women believe this. Consequently, when they DO get horny, many people are surprised.
But if you ever talk with a woman who's had to take supplemental testosterone about her experience, she'll tell you what it's actually like.
Are you serious, because if we're being honest than that question is out of some other ball park's left field.
If you're being serious, and for your sake I hope you're not, gender does not determine sex drive, libido, intelligence, honestly, morality, philosophy, or any of the other crap people keep trying to blame or credit sex with.
Reading these questions is making me worry about the complete lack of education being provided in American schools.
I would have to say that men have a higher sex drive. But I have run across a lot of bored horny wives that have an amazing and unbelievable sex drive and they would stop by and fuck my brains out and do some real amazing things with me that they wouldn't do with their own husband. I would have to say that it was some of the best sex I ever had.
I think males do honestly. I feel like fucking 24/7. And if I could, I'd have sex at least once a day or until my dick is recovered enough to go at it again. I hear about too many females that use excuses before sex and lose their sex drive after a while in the relationship.
I do feel men have a higher sex drive than women because it seems we always want it however I think it changes as we get older. I think men sex drive goes down as women's sex drives stays the same or goes up. It also depends on the person too I have had some girlfriends that had a higher sex drive I did when we was in the same age group.
Most women have very little sex drives. Most women don't even want to have sex with men (and no, pregnancy is not an excuse; there's so many contraceptives nowadays). The fact women even think their sex drive is remotely close to men's is insulting. That almost offends me. Are femcels a thing? No.
In the early years after puberty, Men will almost always have the higher sex drive, but when we reach middle age, it maybe close to the same with men loosing sex drive as they get older and women will generally surpass men in their sex drive. When women get older, there are fewer consequences to having sex, especially after menopause and a woman may fill freer to express and explore their sexuality.
I don't have to have a clue I mean everybody is in the individual but I would like to find a girl and do a test for you find out who has the bigger sex drive
Men, but I've seen quite a few girls that seem to top them!! Maybe it's just hormones before that time of the month but, when they get horny, they are RAVENOUS about it, whereas, we just go along with what little we can get.
Women when there’s someone that she wants to fuck, when there’s a guy or girl I’m really into I’ll have sex until they can’t keep up anymore.
Same sex intimacies for women have different types as far as I know
What type you're into?
A guy has some 15-25 times as much testosterone as you do - you know, the sex-drive hormone. It's just not a choice - they are driven to procreate.
If women could understand this, which is physically impossible, it would be a game-changer.
As an overall average , and due to testosterone levels / brain wiring , males by far. The biggest complaint women seem to have about men , is that men are too sex focused. I'm a single dad , which = permanent celibacy , so very thankful that my Male Curse has greatly faded... good riddance !!
Depends on the time of the month, I say female is more of a sinus curve while men are more a straight line who moves down slowly as they get older.
Men... until they gain control... then not necessarily sex drive but women take over desire for sex more for kids I think.
Given that testosterone is what determines the primary sex drive, I'd hope its men...
Not gender specific, so I dont.
If something isn't about gender, dont make it about gender.
I dont think a man will have all his sex drive to max... while I think a man can make a woman sex drive to the max... so I think woman can have the most... I can work high.
I don't know about anyone else but the older I get the more I want some 😇
