Do men need more sex than women?
There’s a common belief that men need more sex than women but it’s a myth. There are lots of horny women out there who crave sex just as much as men do, the issue is they’re not as open about it. Due to different personality traits and societal expectations of men and women it just seems like men are the ones who need the most sex. The fact is that men and women have an equal desire for sex, they just have different ways of expressing it.
One of the main personality traits that differ between men and women is what turns them on. Men tend to be more appearance focused while women are more focused on behaviour and attitude. This means that women are less likely to sleep with someone they’ve recently met because they need to get to know them better and feel an emotional connection with them. The desire to have sex is there but they need more time before acting on it so their interest in it isn’t obvious. Men are able to separate emotions and sex so they’re more easily aroused by appearance. Once they see a physically attractive woman they start fantasizing about her and try to get her attention. This means that their sexual urges are more obvious and immediate which gives the impression that they want sex more often than women.
It’s acceptable for men to be more interested in sex than women and men who aren’t are seen as having something wrong with them. Men talk with their friends about their sexual conquests and the ones who haven’t had sex lately are left out of the conversation. This leads to men trying to live up to what’s expected of them and they go out looking for horny women to sleep with. When they’ve been successful they’ll brag about it to their friends whereas women tend to keep hook ups secret because they don’t want to get a bad reputation. This makes it seem like men are having more sex than women even though they’re not.
It’s more acceptable for men to talk about their desire for sex than it is for women which means men are the ones who have a reputation for having a stronger sex drive. In the media it’s usually men who talk about how their wives have lost interest in sex or how they’re struggling with sex addiction. There’s also advertising for products like Viagra which makes people think that men only think about sex. Women aren’t as comfortable discussing sex in public so you don’t hear about the wives who have impotent husbands or men who have a low libido and can’t satisfy them. Women’s lack of openness about sex gives the impression that they’re not as interested in it.
It’s easier for men to have an orgasm then it is for a woman and this leads to some women being self-conscious in the bedroom. They want sex just as much as their partner does but they feel embarrassed and try to avoid having sex instead of dealing with the issue or talking about how sex can be better for them. Men think women don’t want sex and accept it because they don’t know that there’s something else going on.
There are just as many horny women out there as there are men but they’re not as open about their desire for sex because they’re not comfortable with it. Society is more accepting of men having a sex drive so the focus is more on their needs instead of women’s.
