It's not a stereotype when scientific studies tend to confirm it.
Sex drive: Theoretical conceptualization and meta-analytic review of gender differences
The meta-analysis revealed a stronger sex drive in men compared to women, with a medium-to-large effect size, g = 0.69, 95% CI [0.58, 0.81]. Men more often think and fantasize about sex, more often experience sexual affect like desire, and more often engage in masturbation than women.
Across many different studies and measures, men have been shown to have more frequent and more intense sexual desires than women, as reflected in spontaneous thoughts about sex, frequency and variety of sexual fantasies, desired frequency of intercourse, desired number of partners, masturbation, liking for various sexual practices, willingness to forego sex, initiating versus refusing sex, making sacrifices for sex, and other measures. No contrary findings (indicating stronger sexual motivation among women) were found. Hence we conclude that the male sex drive is stronger than the female sex drive.
Stereotypes often tend to have some truth to them, that's why they became Stereotypes.
The trick is to never to assign a stereotype to an individual automatically.
Eh, I find it to be pointless to try and suppress my Instincts in that. Like I automatically put people in a box or assign them some stereotypes and imho that's fine. But one has to be open on being proven wrong on these things and accept that.
Wild take
It is still a stereotype that "boys only want sex". Those studies suggest a higher sexual drive on average, not that it applies for all boys, and certainly not that it's the only thing boys want.
Our whole culture is about conditioning men and women to get this result though.
Maybe so, probably research exists on that topic too. Google scholar is kinda a fun place sometimes…. If ur nerdy like me at least.
Purely speaking from my anecdotal experiences, I have far more instances of getting aroused than my partners, but their sexual preferences are WAY more extreme. Most of the girls I've been with have wanted extremely rough sex, which I'm not even remotely into. They're also way way more voyeuristic than I ever will be, often wanting to share sexy photos online for the entire world to enjoy or showing interest in making online porn. So yeah, I want to bang more often, but they definitely are far more deviant than I am.
You're a freak magnet, baby!
You only need to inject testosterone once to understand why this is the case.
This is why I like my women fairly high in testosterone.
Fun fact: polycystic ovary syndrome can make women produce way too much testosterone. Not a fun thing to have but it can absolutely make you horny as hell.
Go on...
You become like a wild animal. Every sentient creature with a pulse is evaluated with simple criteria: fuck or kill. Sex drive off the charts, faster recovery, harder erections and just pure animalistic sex.
A shame it's so fucking expensive or I'd sit on a cruising dose for the rest of my life.
Isn't one of the side effects increased aggression though? And hair loss, shrinking balls (depending on you sex)... shorter lifespan.
Fuckin worth it, baby.
Brewing your own is fairly inexpensive.
I'm listening
https://thinksteroids.com and go reading. Whole section on it. It'll take a bit to get started, but it is not difficult. Mostly mixing and filtering.
Most of these guides seem to go like this:
Start with testosterone enanthate powder... right. If I could get hold of that I'd be more than half way there already.
Sourcing for that is there to. :)
It's important to note that our sexuality is socially constructed, our desires are not solely based on biology but culture.
"In the Christian medieval world, some theories held that women received far more pleasure from a sexual encounter than men, and had much greater sexual appetite." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_female_sexuality
I wonder if these findings have been supported by female lead research.
g = 0.69
Nice.
Yeah, there's a simple reason for this: men have more testosterone than women, and testosterone has been known to heighten the more "animalistic"/cave man characteristics in men.
One of my college roommates took anabolic steroids and he told me once "dude, it's wild, all I want to do is eat red (meaning rare) meat and fuck!"
