Is There a Gender Difference in Strength of Sex Drive? Theoretical Views, Conceptual Distinctions, and a Review of Relevant Evidence

TL;DR: For instance, this paper found that men have more frequent and more intense sexual desires than women, as reflected in spontaneous thoughts about sex, frequency and variety of sexual fantasies, desired frequency of intercourse, desired number of partners, masturbation, willingness to forego sex, initiating versus refusing sex, making sacrifices for sex, and other measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
