subject: Are Men having Higher Sexual Desire than Women? [print this page] Are Men having Higher Sexual Desire than Women?
If we decide to walk through our city to ask this question to anyone, we would obtain an opinion almost always yes for sure. It is very probable that you also have answered yes to this complicated question. But what is there in this topic?
The influence of social factors
If we look at clinical practice, and focus on couple's therapy, we appreciate that often the man who claimed a greater amount of sex, making the lack of sex in one of the common complaints of the male component of a heterosexual couple who complains.
One more point in favor of the popular response would be the fact that pornography has man as its primary consumer, a phenomenon that recurs in the use of prostitution.
But we must not get carried away by what we see at first glance. The question to answer now, to go further would be: Do you explain these data solely for the fact that the man had more sexual desire than women? Personally I think not, at least not exclusively so. Social desirability may play a role.
The fulfillment of the role (male and female) appointed by the Social Desirability, explained that some men do not admit to never have a low desire and perhaps also that pornography was not consumed by a larger number of women. If you think about it, we realize that our society is not equal to a woman who says, for example, not a sexual relationship with a man, the man who refuses to have sex with a woman.
It seems clear the importance of social factors in producing these results, but finer helm a new question: "Would it be enough the influence of social desirability to explain the differences?"
It is possible that the answer to this question is "No". That is, despite that "pretend" play an important role, there is some truth to the prevailing idea that men have more sexual needs than women. But if we admit that yes, (we do one more question to look into the depths), "What we may find reasons to explain this?"
Why more men want?
Hormonal basis
Are many and varied studies have been conducted on animals to measure the influence of testosterone (male sex hormone) in sex. While it is true that we have demonstrated the relationship between blood testosterone level and sexual desire, so is that this does not mean that the man should have, because as much testosterone has a greater sexual desire.
However, no shortage of studies concluding that the largest amount of testosterone in man causes a greater desire and all studies that attempt to link-sex hormones, collide with the difficulty of effective measures and it is conceivable that, in fact, sexual activity as a whole more dependent on psychological factors.
The explanation is as follows, sexual pleasure, intense pleasure as it is, activates the same brain nuclei that are activated at the pleasure of consuming any drug. Accordingly, sexual desire and return to consume the substance work in similar ways.
Someone who has a habitual (sex or substance), if you fail to have that pleasure, start to feel the desire to get it, think of the situation (fantasies), dreams of it and try to find ways to get pleasure. If that person does not consume the substance, or does not engage in sex for a while, just to go off little by little the desire for material / sex. Similarly, if you usually consume the substance or sex, there is no reason for wanting to decrease.
If you share this idea, easily understand the logic of the data obtained from a survey about masturbation, male and female, which concluded that teens masturbate, an average of once a day, while girls did between 1 and 2 times a week.
The odd thing is that this study quantitative difference between men and women disappeared when comparing groups of single men and women who had previously been in a relationship, sexually satisfying.
If we take into account what has been sex education so far, we recognize that sex education a child receives is very different from that of a child. Messages repressive anti-sexual and are mostly found in female education. The boys are allowed and even have to brag to friends of acts such as masturbation.
This is very different from girls, to confess from the peer group, that he masturbated, it was not common practice. Sex as a way to please a man. Preserve virginity at any cost, etc. Could be some of the messages to be, supported adolescents.
Conclusions
In light of the theory set forth, the conclusion is clear:
- A boy begins to masturbate and is rewarded for it.
- Go along with his colleagues the first pornographic films.
- Get social award, which gets "go further" in the pickups. As the number one who lose virginity before.
These would be only a few examples that indicate that training in sexual aperture not stop a man from learning to masturbate, however:
- A girl, if you masturbate feel guilty about it, obviously does not tell anyone for fear of social punishment, and could even prevent the behavior.
- No pornography, is the general rule.
- If you go too far with a guy, becomes a "whore."
This could mean that a man and a woman come together in their first start from different positions, as the man carries with him a history of training in sexual desire much higher. That is, has grown through masturbation land of desire.
There are no conclusive studies to answer our questions, or to certify which of the theories goes right, left for you, with information in hand, concluding with an idea.
