Utter bullshit. Women are as sexual as are men - and women masterbate too.The reason why women wont admit it is because its somehow shamefull - when in fact it isnt.
No, it isn't bullshit. And I never said women didn't masturbate, and I never said the female sex drive is non-existant.
Of course there are exceptions but generally, men have a stronger sex drive. I know plenty of women who are very sexual and are open about talking about sex and masturbation, but they aren't the majority. It really doesn't matter if you want to accept it or not.

Please, Mane, I think it's disrespectful to assume Milla doesn't have a wide familiarity with women. I doubt she's proceding only from knowledge of herself or a handful of women she knows.
She isn't, actually, making any declarations- she's simply stating that she doubts other's sweeping declarations.

Understandable, I'd want prrof if someone refuted my beliefs too.

Pages and pages of info just for you Lil B. Don't feel like going through all of it? Here, I'll take an exerpt from the first site:
Among those who reported previously engaging in sexual intercourse at least once, 55% of women and 35% of men reported consenting to unwanted sexual intercourse at least one time. In the marital context, Carlson (1976) found that 84% of wives and 64% of husbands reported that they usually or always participated in sexual activities when their partners wanted to and they did not.
This just shows that some women will have sex, not because they want to, but because their male partner wants too. Therefore, men want to have sex more often than women do. If you'll notice, the percentage of men who have sex only to please their female partners is 20% lower.
Both of these points support my initial argument. Generally men want sex more often than women do.

You can make a different inference.
"...found that 84% of wives and 64% of husbands reported that they usually or always participated in sexual activities when their partners wanted to and they did not."
This discrepancy could explain why more women have "unwanted sex" than do men. It may only be because women are more likely to consent, and men, to say "Not now, baby." So men may be the recipient of just as many unwanted advances. They simply shut their honey down more effectively.
Hmm...ok there's been some misunderstanding in what I'm saying, so to clear it up:
Men and Women have sex drives. It's natural; innate since birth. Why? Reproduction. When people say men have stronger sex drives, they mean that men are more easily motivated. Saying men have stronger sex drives doesn't mean that women don't have them, it just means it takes longer for a woman to get warmed up. That's a fact.

Oh and you were doing so well right up to "That's a fact." - almost as poor as AF quoting some random figures from a study about the frequency of consenting to unwanted sexual advances amongst married couples and saying this somehow backs up his argument.
Tho - perhaps Im doing him a disservice and he meant to post that in another thread where it's somehow relevant? Who knows....?
The only think you can say for certain (pay attention please) is that females experience sexual arousal in a different way to men. This might suggest that they are aroused by different types of stimulus than men - but it could equally be down to peer-group conditioning and other factors.
As a result of that* - statistically speaking men are more likely to over state answers when questioned about sex and women (generally) tend to understate them. It's called "response bias".
If thats the case women are FAR more sexual than men in a far more complicated way. IF thats the case.
Saying "men have stronger sex drives" isnt just misleading, it's fundamentally unprovable and thus incorrect*. Plus we have to remember we are generalising - and sexuality isnt about generalisation, its at its most important when its one-on-one.
Or five on one, but thats another story for another time.
*I thought I'd do AF a favour (and make it a little more interesting for me) by pointing out the weaker points in my post in advance - kinda like tying one hand behind my back.
Testosterone is a major part(not the ONLY part) in a person's sex drive, male or female. Females have significantly less amounts of testosterone, and therefore would have a lower sex drive. Logical isn't it?
If you want sources for that statement, just google it. I'm done with this thread, there is no point in arguing with someone who will never see that they're mistaken.
"Though, yes, the male sex drive is stronger than the female's. It's a fact. I don't have the source on me, but a simple search for an article on the internet should be more than enough to satisfy."
The male sex drive is stronger between the ages of 18 - 25 or so, this is the males prime for sexual intercourse. They are generally more sexually obsessed them women during this time in their life, however.
A womans sexual prime occurs during their 30's. Generally 30-37 or so. During this time, women have a stronger sex drive and a want for sex then men of this age.
Of course, there are exceptions to both of these, as always. This shouldn't suggest that EVERY 18-25 year old man will have a better sex drive then EVERY 18-25 year old woman. This is just generally speaking.
