Sex & Gender FAQs
Gender sex drive
Why does sex seem so much more important to men, than women?
Biologically, men have more testosterone (the hormone that controls your sex drive) than women have. However recent studies have shown that just because men have more testosterone, it doesn't necessarily mean they want more sex, more often, or find it more important than women. In fact, it's widely believed that sex drive is affected more by your state of mind and factors like stress and body image than levels of testosterone. What does all this mean? Women are just as interested in sex as men.
