And no, men's sex drives are not higher than women's. This is a comment I posted on another thread.
I forgot to add too that sex therapists have stated clearly that they often have women complaining that they want more sex than their husband.
As I said elsewhere, the daft theories invented by men to explain why men just had to screw around are just that - daft and completely debunked theories.
Modern theory has it that early humans, moved around in small groups where the women had sex with several men in the group for protection and to ensure that if pregnant the men would not know if it was their offspring or not, ensuring her their care and resources.
This also explains why women are multi orgasmic - to encourage them to seek out lots of different types of healthy sperm, and why women have evolved to mask their fertile period, most men have no idea when she is at her most fertile and cannot guess if they are the father based on that.
It also explains sperm wars. Sperm lives inside women for a couple of days, if she has sex with several different men then only the strongest sperm will conquer the other sperm, they actually fight one another to get to the egg.
Read the book What Women Really Want by Daniel Bergner, it utterly debunks the notion that men are more sexual than women. Using devices to measure arousal, men and women were both shown lots of sexual images. The women were aroused by pretty much everything, no matter if they identified themselves as heterosexual or not. However men who identified as heterosexual were mainly aroused by heterosexual images. Women even indicated physical arousal from watching Bonobos get it on.
Eye tracking technology also proves that women look at the shoulder to hip ratio, then men's bottoms and if the penis is on view the penis is very interesting to women.
And then there's the huge elephant in the room nobody wants to address. It is a fact that around 3 years in to a relationship, women's sexual interest in their current partner dips massively.
But it's not that she doesn't want sex. It's that she doesn't want sex with HIM.
Introduce her favourite fantasy man and she is instantly sexual again.
This is nature's way of ensuring women will sleep around. Men, however, are almost always still very interested in their female partners sexually, often all throughout the relationship however long it lasts.
It also explains the absolutely extraordinary lengths men have always gone to to try to keep their women away from other men, from chastity belts to violence to constant societal scolding - if men weren't worried about women sleeping around none of this would be necessary at all.
And none of this is to say, at all, that just because women are wired for sleeping with many different men that they have to, or they should.
Both sexes are physically wired for many partners - particularly women - but mentally, it turns out (see all of history) that we are very much wired for the pair bond, most of us anyway.
Both sexes have the choice to do the right thing, always, or the wrong thing.
There is no get out of jail free card for men or women. Doing the wrong thing by the person who loves and trusts you is always entirely a choice.
And all of that in response to the usual comment trying to explain away why men behave like fucking shits.
The reason men behave more like fucking shits than women do is NOT a higher sex drive, it is being far more powerful and getting do what they like with fewer consequences, and that is coupled with lower empathy. NOT sex drive.
However, the reality is that despite all of this, despite the pull of the sex drive for both sexes - people prefer monogamy, and that has remained steady. Because no matter what your hormones, vagina or penis is telling you most of us want a mate and that goes beyond and above sex, someone you can trust, who won't assault or murder you, who will have your back, nurse you, a person to confide in, to watch TV and go on holiday with - both sexes want that.
And for those who don't, no problem - just be honest about it. Sleep with anyone you want, but be upfront and honest.
