Are men realy hornier than women?

Is the statement that men think of sex more often than women true, or is it a cliché which has not been true for a long time?

Romantic women and perverted men

The answer of men to the question about the connection between romance and sex would probably be completely different than the answer of women. Men would say without hesitation that they love sex, while women would almost certainly link it to emotions and a serious relationship. That is the assumption of author Susan Selinger, who believes that it is a cliché which still hold true. Dr. Eva Ritvo, the Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Medicine, Mount Sinai Medical Centre, in Miami says that men are said to have a stronger desire for sex than women, which often holds true in reality. However, all men do not think in the same way. Some men have a stronger desire for sex and others have a less strong desire. It would perhaps be ideal to compare their sexual lust with a desire for food. Some men could eat night and day, while others have enough if they eat one hot meal a day. Susan Selinger says in jest that no man likes to miss his lunch.

How often do you think of sex?

Experts have been trying to measure human lust for quite a while. More precisely, the difference between the lust of men and women, or how many times a day men and women think of sexual activity. Dr. Patricia Koch from Pennsylvania, who renamed lust into sexual desire, believes that it is very difficult to define human desires for sex. Indeed, signs of sexual arousal are obvious and visible. Men experience erections and women’s vagina gets wet and the clitoris swells. However, the desire is often reflected only in the brain, which means that it is not visible on the body. And it is this desire that Koch would like to assess. Experts believe that sexual desire is much easier to notice in men because everything is linear without any changes. There is the desire, arousal and orgasm. In women, of course, it is different. Things are full of twists and turns, and they are more complicated because women also include emotions. This is one of the reasons why it takes longer for a woman to warm up and experience the climax. But to a lot of women the partner’s devotion and the fact that they are loved and in a secure embrace is more important than reaching orgasm.

 

 

Differences between partners

The main difference between the partners is, of course, the fact that one of them wants sex more than the other. One of them needs sex more than the other and thus both have serious problems because of that situation. One partner is irritated because there is not any sex and the other is irritated because of being constantly bothered about it. The research carried out by therapist Richard Driscoll showed that in the USA couples who have been married for five years have sexual intercourse once to twice a week and problems arise later because of the fact that women do not feel so often the need to be intimate. One of five women admitted that she had turned her man down in bed several times, and at least half of men also said their wives had turned them down a few times when they wanted to have sexual intercourse with them. An interesting difference between men and women is the fact that absence of sex makes men rather miserable, while women could live without it and have almost no problems, says Edward Laumann, a sociology professor, and adds that men, on the other hand, are much more pleased with their sex lives than women, who complain because they do not achieve orgasm. Does that mean men are generally egoists who make sure that they experience their thrills?

 

Good sex life is the way to happiness

Numerous studies show that good sex life is a condition for a happy and healthy life. Couples who have a lot of sex are healthier and more satisfied than those who forget about sex life. The healthiest sex is the sex that deepens love, which was has been showed by a recent new study according to which married people and people in serious relationships are physically and mentally healthier. Does that mean single men and women who have sex only for fun are less healthy because their sex lives are not upgraded by love? This theory is probably too bold, but it might sometimes be confirmed in practice. A person who is single does not have sex can be nervous about it, while a person who is in a relationship and has the partner always near has no such problems.

 

 

Is your partner hornier than you?

It is normal and completely logical that one of the partners in a relationship is more excited about sex than the other, so you do not need to burden yourselves with that. The man is often hornier, but the relationship in which the woman has this honour is not so unusual as well. Especially if you are aware of the fact that a woman in contrast to a man can continue sexual intercourse without any problems immediately after reaching orgasm. If this difference starts to bother you and if one of you is increasingly more miserable, it is advisable that you do not lose your nerve. You should avoid insulting each other and try to resolve differences in a right and understanding way.
