In a country like ours, women are unfortunately considered to be the repressed gender by some. Not only in terms of office and home, but also when it comes to sex.


Women even till today shy over the word ‘sex’ and are often touted as ‘bad’ if they do openly talk about their sexual desires.

However, studies provide evidence that women need more sex than men and not the other way round.

Sex drive in women

A Women’s sex drive fluctuates due to many factors. From hormonal changes to pregnancy to chronic illnesses, a lot can define a women’s libido and how they react to sexual desires. Female sex drive is also influenced by social and cultural facts and studies have shown ways in which women’s sexual attitudes, practices, and desires were more influenced by their environment than men.

That said, many things can determine why a women needs more sex than men. Read on to find out why.

Sexual attraction

Yes, men may be more sexually attracted to women’s body than vice-versa, but women have other, very important reasons which generate their desire to have more sex than men.

1. Women are capable of multiple orgasm

Yes, unlike their counterparts, women are capable of having multiple orgasms. It may be difficult for the man to do this in the same sack session, but women are more inclined to their partners, sexually.

2. ​Women are more open to options

Unlike men, women are more open to options. As per a study, men who were shown male-male sex, male-female sex and female-female sex were more turned on by the latter two and not alot by the former. However, when women were shown all the above, they were turned on by all of them. Women have a greater power of being turned on rather than choosing who they get turned on by.

3. Touching, talking and then sex

Women first form a connection and then indulge in sex and not the other way round. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to form a connection with their partner post-sex. Women, however, would rather be careful in this arena. For them, this begins with touching, talking and then leading to sex. And once women have achieved that final stage, they are more likely to be aroused more often.

4. Middle age issues

Middle-aged women are more likely to have numerous sexual desires to fulfill than girls in their 20’s. This, as per science, is because women start nearing the age of menopause and often fear that their sexual desire will diminish over time.

5. Higher sex desire

Once women choose their partner (they are super careful in this first step), their idea of connection is not only limited to sex. Once they start having sex with their partners, women are more likely to fulfill all their sexual desires with the same man.
