Do men have stronger sex drives than women?

Again, maybe he thinks about it but performance, no.

ages? That is strange though. Who initiates sex most of the time?

This is probably more common than people assume. Many of the women I know have higher drives than their husbands. But the husbands would never admit it and always come up with reasons why " today is not a good day". 😆

The role of testosterone in men and sexual function is well studied.

Testosterone is much higher in men (200-1100 in teen males and then 200 - 800 in adult men) compared to <80 in teen females and <40 in adult women). It decreases with age and also can decrease throughout the day.

Testosterone is so much higher in men as it drives fetal development of male internal and external genitals, it drives all pubertal changes in teen boys (height, body and pubic hair, genital changes, increased libido) and it supports health for men throughout adulthood (sperm production, red blood cell production, bone and muscle strength, sex drive, mental health).

In women, less testosterone is produced and most of what is produced is converted to estradiol. If women do not convert well, they end up with PCOS.

Healthy levels of testosterone depend on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which triggers your pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH) which travels to th gonads and stimulates the release of testosterone in men and the release of estrogen and progesterone in women.

There is a biological drive for a higher sex drive in men in order to keep the population growing. They can impregnate at any time.

Overall, of course. In this forum, maybe

What? Shooting blanks has nothing to do with how long you can last in bed. What a weird analogy. And is it really a prize to get another person's gametes shot into your vagina?

Women suppress their sex drive and pretend to not want it. Men express their sex drive and try to bang as many women as possible.

Perhaps this applies to White men. Every black man I've met has had a really strong sex drive. Many black women often express frustration about their partners desiring sex too frequently.

women bang enough and they need to feel connected.

Men do peak early though. And it happens when women have their libido back. Kids are gone to college, finances are in order, etc but thats when men's libido comes down crashing hard.

This reminds me of the joke:

Him: I think men have a higher sex drive than women.

Her: I don't think that's true! I have a very high sex drive.

Him: OK, let's have sex then.

Her: No; I'm not attracted to you!

Him: I'm not attracted to you either....

I have high T for a woman, about in the range of 140 with <40 being normal for my age. I think I've had it all my life but was only tested in the past two years. I have a high sex drive, none of the negative symptoms of post-menopausal women, also some slightly negative characteristics that go along with high T in a woman but that doesn't bother me. I love having high T and wouldn't change a thing. My endo suggested removing my ovaries even though there's nothing obviously wrong with them re scans, I declined.

what about perimenopause or menopause? All those hormonal changes affects sex drive.

No, women don't have weaker sex drives. Men are worse in bed and typically unskilled and selfish. So, sex with men is less pleasurable for women than sex with women is for men. That's why we have less desire for men.

I'm constantly horny and my sex drive has only gotten stronger over time. Yet my idiot ex-husband thought my sex drive had died because I stopped having sex with him for the last years of our marriage. Sex with my ex amounted to letting him climb on top of me and satisfy himself with a very little payoff for me. He was resentful about having to pleasure me and treated it like a chore he'd rather escape. So, why bother having sex with such a jerk? He wouldn't have had any interest in sex either if he never got off and just had to watch me have a good time.

I hope this is true. I'm Black, but I've never been with a Black man. I'm in the middle of divorcing the most effete White man with the shittiest sex imaginable. I'm going to give Black men a try for once and hopefully find that amazing sex.
