Do men have stronger sex drives than women?

[Anonymous]

Is this true in your relationship, or not so much? How old are you?

Yes, at different times in life. No, in others.

Of course.

Nothing of course about it. I'm a woman and have been with men who didn't have as strong of a drive as me and also with men who did.

In some cases yes, in most No

That’s on an individual basis. In general, men have a higher sex drive than women.

No. Men just have less control over theirs. Or at least, use that excuse often.

Same. They may have different drives. As in, men have spontaneous drive, whereas women have responsive drive. Read about it. It rings true for me. When I’m in a relationship with or in proximity to someone who makes me feel desired, my drive is sky high. When I’m with someone who shows little interest in me, I could do without. I hate the lulls, though.

As a man my drive at any given moment is proportional to how long it's been since the last time. The one woman I discuss this with says that's not the case for her. I suppose overall it's about even between us. We're 48.

Yes, men have stronger sex drives, and it isn't even close.

You could cite any number of things (porn, who complains about dead bedrooms, etc.), but the real tell is all of the F to M trans folks who started testosterone and couldn't believe the difference in sex drives.

Men have like 20x the testosterone that women do. Any woman who has ever taken testosterone for any reason knows that your sex drive is SO much higher on it.

I feel like even men who aren’t interested in sex with their wives still seem to have a higher sex drive a la Al Bundy in “Married with Children.”

My husband likes to say he has a high sex drive, I think it helps him mentally to say it. However, his performance or lack thereof says otherwise. He is ok with once a week. I literally have to please myself every other day or I’m going insane. He doesn’t last long in bed at all. It’s like shooting blanks. So the end prize is never really a prize. Again, maybe he thinks about it but performance, no.

At least one of the PPs seems to think the question is whether all men have stronger sex drives than all women. The answer to that question is "no."

But that's not OP's question, I don't think. The median man's sex drive is stronger than the drive of the median woman. And I doubt it's even particularly close.

The free market gives us an indication. The amount of money successfully extracted from men for sex and sex related industries dwarfs the amount of money spent by women on such things.
