In all seriousness, why is it that men have more sexual urges, sometime on a minute to minute basis whilst women don't?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Because in terms of evolution, males want to mate more often so they can produce more offspring, which a female can't do because they have to spend so much time carrying any offspring. Silent-Hal
I wish life was as simplistic as 'we are animals'. Alas, it is not. Bad enough that I see bad journalistic articles that take everything out of context to try (a.k.a. make everything seem so simple, e.g. one Evolutionary article suggested women put lipstick on to make it look like a Vagina without mentioning at all that at certain points in history it was perfectly acceptable for men to do the same thing) and prove Evolution, now we have it in forums too (fyi, trying to be ironic)? Gratz you're an atheist that wants complex people to turn into animals, talk about it on the black-hole of intellect/logic/understanding that is the Dick Dawkins forums (yes, Dawkins is a moron, all his PR statements and books are beyond stupid and totally lack ANY understanding of the beliefs he is trying to argue against). 'In terms of evolution' cannot exist because evolution has never been proven, whether by science (a.k.a. no proof of beneficial generic data EVER coming about in ANY species or germ/virus/etc that wasn't a lose in information, no way for the first cell to be created within the environment Evolutionists have created/stated that the earth first started within and no way for existance itself to come about) and definitely not by any other field of study (since any other field states that humans are more then mere creatures). I'd have no problem with you stating in general that males are programmed a certain way, but 'terms of evolution' just shows your clear bias too much... Since Males can be programmed a certain way without evolution, just like Natural Selection itself is not something Darwin MAGICALLY came up with... Since of course non-Atheists themselves (e.g. Creationists) wrote about it before Darwin.
Wouldn't it work the other way as well? Females would want sex as well hence make more offspring? Even an Evolutionist themselves could have a go at you and say that you are generalising a complex situation, since why were females EVER given a sex drive if you apply your logic? They wouldn't need one, hell, if Evolutionary logic was applied to ALL then why don't women enjoy rape since no doubt according to the millions/thousands of years as cavemen (I laugh at the fact that people find a minor amount of bones in caves and start saying that we lived millions/thousands of years as cavemen, I'd think they could find more bones since there would have been millions of humans through those years) that males did just drag women by their legs and have forced intercourse to reproduce... SO WHY HAVEN'T WOMEN ADAPTED?!
Stupid logic is stupid, that is why.
Males are visual, females are not. I think that would be one of the major differences. Watching something the other day with a group of females talking about self-simulation, they stated they started (their first, you know what) at age 11 or 12 or something... Earlier then myself as a male I must say. Either way, like others stated, depends on each person. From what I know, for most women, if they are emotionally simulated they are much more into it (even though visuals come into it, overall trying to captailise on that fact more in line with males and their visual sexuality will be trying to make women into men). Of course, this includes men visualising within their own heads.
Anyway, I'm just saying what I think I know.
Depends on the person I would expect. One of my friends has great difficulty keeping her legs closed.AcronymnsFTWis she hot?
This, sometimes higher. It just depends on their hormones, which go through more ups and downs than males' do. If there's a big long low due to hormones, some girls go on oral contraceptives to balance them out.Women have just as big a sex drive as men, its just easier to hide it for them
Wolls
I have no idea why, my wife has absolutely noneCyleMSame here. It might the age difference. As teens and early college years womens sex drives are high, but after kids or after 25 years their sex driver just goes to ****. Where as men might experience a dip in sex drive they still want to do it.

Which is more likely to propogate the human race: 1 man and many women, or 1 woman and many men?
Men are just less essential in terms of reproduction, so they have to be more... productive, so to speak.

I agree with the latter part of your post, although it could reall do with some supplementing argumentation and source data. All of which i am too apathetic to set into motion, hence i´ll just smile and nod alongside with you.
And for what it´s worth, the middle and beginning makes a lot of sense, aswell. Thanks for typing the brunt of my thoughts out, now i bid you g´day.

Not really true though. Men think about sex, desire sex, and have sex more often than women do on average.

Actually that's not true, women generally hit their sexual peak in their early 30's through to their 40's depending on the woman of course. Women will experience a dip in drive when they are raising young children but that is usually a result of stress not necessarily hormonal...children can suck the sex drive out of a woman. I personally think we have a sexual peak later in life because that's when the men finally know what they are doing. ;)

That was my point.

Lies, I never made such a post.if u date a girl for a while, u will realise that the girls wants to have more sex than u in the end. so actually they have a bigger sex drive they just hide it but in reality they wanna do it even more than uIn all seriousness, why is it that men have more sexual urges, sometime on a minute to minute basis whilst women don't?

I'm going to assume by that statement you are not female, because that is so untrue. The only reason a single woman would have sex less than single men (assuming people in a relationship are monogamous, thus having the same amount of sex) would be because of the double standard.hmm... interesting... well I know what I am doing for sure and I am only 24, she is the one that just lays there just to get it over with... she makes it seem like more of a chore than anything else... CyleMDon't take it personally (I know that's hard) but it probably does seem more like a chore sometimes. I've been there, I had three children in 5 years before I hit my 28th birthday and there were times when the absolutely last thing I wanted to do after spending the day serving the needs of my children was worry about someone else's 'need.' In a couple of years when your wife no longer has babies and toddlers demanding all her time and energy, she'll hit her sexual peak and you'll be a happy man. lol

I hope so because before we were married and had children she was a wild thing... lol... I just usually thought that she was bored of it cause she has been active since she was 15 and I didn't start until I was 20 with her... I think another reason is because her mom is 53 and use to talk about sex all the time even at the dinner table with her dad and talked about all of her toys, so that really grossed us out... so hopefully after our kids get a little older she will be alright... thanks for the help In a couple of years when your wife no longer has babies and toddlers demanding all her time and energy, she'll hit her sexual peak and you'll be a happy man. lol

It's pretty much established fact that (statistically) when it comes to anything related to sex, men just want it more.
I'm sure there are plenty of women who want to bang everything in sight, but there are even more men who want to bang everything that is and isn't in sight.
I am smart enough to know that I am way too stupid to comment with any shred of intelligence on the desires of women...
All I will say is that there have been many times where I have been having a night out and the ladies seem to be way more aggressive than the guys (also seen the reverse).
-so, in my experience, the behaviors appear to be fairly similar…at least when you remove some of the social stigmas/barriers with alcohol.
ALCOHOL FTW

That 10 - 20 year drought in sexual activity causes men (faithful men) to start to lose their sex drive. Thus lose experience and forget "what their doing".
You just live in a society where it is viewed like that. For example in Brazil it isn't odd to have women cheat on their husbands on a regular basis. And when asked "It is just sex." because it isn't a big deal. Some Pacific islanders have American social norms reversed. The woman goes out and works to bring home food while the man sits at home with the kids. And the woman has to instigate any sexual encounters.

Thats just wrong. It goes against the evolution of man. Hunters & gatherers and all that.You just live in a society where it is viewed like that.

Reminds me of this comic I saw on Digg yesterday:

lol! thats an awesome cartoon! Might just put that on my facebook!
but in all seriousnes, women that are IN A RELATIONSHIP can be more sexual than guys. but women are trained to keep their sexual urges under control until they are married or in love.....wierd huh? and there are slutty girls too (more of an exception to the rule though). so NOT all women have a weaker sex drive. but i think it comes down to the history of humans or something. women dont do the "hunting", they tend to wait for the guy to come to them. Then they can choose who they want to be the father for their children (even though sex isnt just making babies). Most of us guys dont care as much who has our kids, we just wanna get out there and get our dna spread out as far as possible. Think of it this way: if guys didnt have a stronger sex drive, then the world would move at a much slower pace......and our population would be pretty small too i bet! (but that would be kinda nice considering we are overpopulated really)
