TL;DR -- Statement is too vague. HOW do male/female libidos differ?

What does the statement mean by "different?" Different how? If it's trying to say that males have more of a sex drive than females, then--I hate to tell you--this is undeniably false. Just ask my poor husband who has to beg me to give him a night off.

If it's trying to say that our libidos manifest in different ways, then it's still wrong. Females can (and do) go clubbing looking for one night stands just as easily as males, for example.

If there's some other way that libidos can differ, then I'd really like to know. But as it stands, this statement is really too vague to argue for. I'm half inclined to just change this from "commentary" to "against" simply because I don't see any way someone can definitively argue for it.

Aside from that, the whole "men only want sex for physical pleasure and females have to have an emotional connection" stereotype is old, false, and needs to die.

Of course not across the board by any means, but there does seem to be a very general trend of differing sex drives between males and females.

• Sex drive appears to work differently in males and females, as a very general kind of trend:

• The consistency of libido seems to be different between men and women. In men, there is much more consistency to the drive - whereas with women, even those women who have exceptionally high sex drives do not typically maintain that level consistently. The female drive is variable and based more upon the menstrual cycle and their desires for their partners or for alternative partners.

• Sexual desire in women seems to be much more sensitive to environment and context, whereas it's more typical (again, not across the board, but just as a sort of general trend) that men are less sensitive to context when it comes to their sexual drive and its continued potency.

• Factors of the cultural and social type appear to affect women more than men, on average. For instance, women might be more swayed by attitudes in their peer groups about sex, and women seem also to have greater shifts in attitudes towards performing different sex acts across time.
