    Women are not as horny as men.

    They’ve done studies. I think they worked out that men on average think about sex about 8 times as much as women on average.

    Frankly the whole comparison is fucking stupid. It’s not a fucking contest.

      And until the 1900s the scientific world didn’t think women could orgasm. It was considered a fact that women only pretended to like sex to please their husbands. Women visited doctors a lot more back then because the cure for “female hysteria” was for a doctor to use a dildo on a woman.

      Now, there’s a pretty well established correlation between testosterone and an increased sex drive, as trans people have reported pretty consistently that FtM HRT does often cause an increase there and MtF people tend to report the opposite. But, MtF people also often report that their sex drive comes back after a period of time and sometimes that their sex drive comes back stronger than it ever was before.

      I’m not willing to trust the science (especially on what men and women think about) because there’s a real issue still with misogyny in the sciences. From doctors ignoring women when they tell them about their symptoms to deciding what is and what isn’t worth studying. We still don’t know what happens when women “ejaculate” (aka “squirt”) because there’s been practically no research. The best guess right now is that it’s actually just piss.

      Spontaneous thoughts of sex /= the entire spectrum of sexual desire.

      They’ve done studies.

      I’m not even gonna get into the sociological aspects of this, it’s a meme community.

      You’ve missed the point. Women are just people, like you.

      Stop putting them on a pedestal or as a prize to win by being some weird ideal or generic “what women want.” Women may not be “as horny” but they do get horny and they all have different preferences. So just do interesting shit that you enjoy and your enthusiasm for whatever it is will help more than you could imagine.

      I’ll assume you’re misremembering the study or reading an article about the study not the paper itself, because otherwise, I’d be terrified at the really bad attempt at doing science if any peer reviewed study published these words.
