    No - it's only a sexist stereotype. Women desire sex just as much as men do. Most probably just won't admit to it because of the ignorant crap society put in their heads, like only demure women are real women.

    However, it is believed by scientists that in nature, the females, once they're secure in a relationship (have their partner), their sex drive drops a bit. They say this may be due to keeping the male interested and the male in turn will prevent the female from straying with his higher sex drive.

    It's no longer the case but it might explain the basis of how this all came about-females having slightly lower sex drives.

    Of course there are no generalizations about gender and sexual desire. Men go through time periods of not having sexual desire that (if you read about it) resemble the exact feelings that women report. Men just don't want to admit it because it messes with our image of ourselves too much. So, the myth of the nymphomaniac female and the supercharged male is so prevalent in our culture that people who go through regular lapses of desire feel out of the ordinary. That's not really an answer toyour question, but I think the answer is that gender has nothing to do with sexual desire, but humanity does.

    I don't think there is an easy answer to this one. The human sexual drive varies greatly depending on many factors not at least including: stress levels, physical health, work hours and age. A woman's sexual peak happens at around age 35 where-in her sex drive usually goes into high gear, a man hits his sexual peak around 18. I have spoken to many people of both sexes about this issue and no-one can agree as to who has a stronger sexual drive-men or women. While men have been programmed since the beginning of time to have sex with many women to propogate the species, women have a similar underlying urge to have sex. It all depends on the person. Sorry there's not a better answer lying around my mind for you.

    No, but girls are more careful about their emotions.
    A horny girl might want sex but she won't have it with anyone she's not comfortable with.

    Ok, on a scientific level, men have a hormone that increases their desire for sex. We all know this.
    Yes, women do hit their sexual peek in their 30's. I'm 38, I can testify to that, cuz I've been in heat for years now.
    I'm glad that someone mentioned the "women's libido slows down after feeling secure in a relationship" because i've been wondering why my libido has seemed to slow down over the last couple of months. It gives me something to think about.
    I don't understand women that say they aren't interested in sex, when I KNOW that they are.
    We fantasize and masturbate just like men do. We may not think about it as much as men, but we DO think about it. It is a need for a women just as much as it is for a man.
    To answer the question, I would have to say that yes, men probably do desire sex more than women. I say that only because of the testosterone factor.
    I personally believe that if a woman is trying to tell you that she doesn't NEED sex, then she needs to get her head out of her rear and stop lying to herself.
    Libido is as healthy for you as washing your hands and eating your veggies. Society is to blame for some women's beliefs that a high sex drive is a bad thing. NO IT IS NOT!
    Hope this helped

    Generally, yes, but to consider this statement to be true would be misleading; it really depends on the man or woman in question. In my experience, half of my girlfriends have wanted more sex than me, and about half have wanted less than me; so it's very hard to say. Women have been less 'free' to discuss and explore their sexuality throughout history, and this is only just starting to change, so some women still repress their sexuality. Men are more likely to seek 'emotionless' casual sex than women, perhaps because it's because it's not their body that's being invaded?

    No, everyone is different. Men are usually turned on faster than women, but this isn't true for everyone, every time.

    "Men are sexual because of ego, while women are sexual because of promiscuity" . . . I've always remembered this, but I don't recall where I read it or who said it.

    Men might have multiple sex partners because society gives them the "atta boy" when they're boys starting to screw around. While girls are immediately called whore or slut when they begin to become sexual beings. This double standard makes it seem that men desire sex more than women, when it's more about peer pressure and false expectations.

    As far as the promiscuity of women, I'd like to think it's meant in a kind way, and not back to that slutty tag given to blooming girls. Though I don't know what that would actually be!

    I like to get laid like the rest of them, however, I am more likely to hook up with a girl than a guy - with a guy I generally look for more of a relationship first. It's kind of a whole penetration=access=intimacy=control thing. Security vs fear... so no, I get horny alot, daily i will get aroused by the way I cross my legs, a little breeze up my skirt, an accidental brush in the hall past a really hot guy or girl I might have a crush on... you name it.

    Daily, twice daily, sometimes more, and that doesn't count the two or three or more times a week I masturbate. Lots of women won't admit to it, because we're supposed to be some sort of perfect little fucking angels or something, but we like getting laid when the sex is good just as much as a guy likes getting laid when the sex is good.

    I don't think so. If so I am a freak. I am female and think about sex more often than any of my guy friends ever have.

    I'm having trouble with this questions because it could have two entirely different meanings... Is it do men desire sex more often? Or is it do men desire sex more in the occurence of sex. But taken to the fact that men think about it much more than most women do and believe me women you'd be very surprised id say they do desire it more often. But as for during sex I can't be sure...

    Yes! I am a male (the sensitive new age type who connects with females on their level)! After numerous discussions about sex and related topics with them the conclusion came that they don't think of it as much as men, but believe me they still do, they just won't admit it to you!
