Women’s sexuality and health is so underresearched. In the late 1800s, doctors would give women orgasms to “cure hysteria.” An orgasm was a MEDICAL TREATMENT. All of our period products and contraceptives have been made by men. Purity culture keeps us from displaying any sort of interests sexually. There is a big problem with many men seeing women as nothing more than objects for sex, but this isnt an inherent thing, it’s taught. We objectively WERE objects until fairly recently in history. We have people alive today that lived through women getting the right to vote. Until very recently in human history we were property. And in the minds of many men we still are. There is a direct link (as shown in one of the links below) between masturbation frequency and sexual drive. Men have normalized porn to such a degree that it controls how they see things. Most Porn if taken out of the fantasy setting would be illegal and extremely dangerous, with most of it sexualizing “Step Moms”, “Step Daughters”, and “Step Sisters.” If a man is watching these kinds of videos everyday, or even a young boy, how does that impact how they see a familial setting?

There is a myth that there is a major connection between Testosterone and Sex Drive. There is not! What there is, is a correlation between stimulation/masterbation frequency and Sex Drive, as well as societal conditioning. Testosterone plays a relatively low factor at designated sexual drive.

I would like to add that while I was researching this topic, there were alot of the articles I read at first claiming there was a difference in sex drive between men and women were from questionable sources, like random blogs and clickbait websites.

These are from the National Library of Medicine, an official US government website.

Here are some articles:
