    Yea we can maybe try to define some of the words etc, I understand what you’re saying…

    Gay couples have more sex than hetero couples who have more sex than lesbian couples

    Men think about sex more, men masturbate more, men visit prostitutes more, men look at more porn,

    How are we going to define horny?

    I do understand that women throughout history have had their sexuality policed, and that women do in general care more about relationships and the emotional intimacy before they can fully enjoy sex, etc… but still, men are way hornier…

    All of these statements are general for the group of men and women, not specific to any individual, obviously there are specific women who are more horny than specific men

    I also don’t think it’s a bad thing if it is in fact true that men are hornier, it’s just part of being human… there are natural differences between men and women and that’s okay! 😊

      Well the claim was your’s and I’m of the opinion that comparing who’s hornier isn’t a worthwhile endeavor.

      Even if you take horniness to mean session frequency, why frequency, and why only that when there are also duration and intensity. There are also hard to quantify variables like met and unmet satisfaction. It could very well be that the integral of the product of all those variables over dt for all time ends up being close for all groups of people.

      Differences are fine, but if those differences are a result of a very specific meaning, you should just that then than to potentially perpetuate an outdated and unhelpful stereotype.

        I don’t know that it’s a worthwhile endeavor either, but I’m pretty sure it’s true… the original thing I said I think was making fun of men for being hornier in the context of dating apps?

        In the end what matters I suppose is everyone being happy in their personal and public relationships etc…
