sex drive? boys vs girls? masturbation to much?

Question

i know everyone just assumes that boys (males) have a higher sex drive then females and that they masturbate way more then females. I find it i have a very high sex drive, i am 16, female of course.. and i have random days were i masturabte about 4 times a day, and normally at least once a week. I was just wondering if thats too much, because here people say its about once a month for a female? And i really don't understand why guys assume they have a higher sex drive b/c of testosterone, or however you spell it, because i know that i have a higher sex drive, thena bunch of my guy friends. serious answers only, thanks.

Still a virgin :)

Answer 1

The idea that males have a stronger sex drive than females is a myth. In a recent study, published just a couple months ago, it was shown that women think about sex slightly more often than men, on average. The fact that women are capable of having more orgasms than men in a day also supports the fact that the female sex drive is at least as strong as the male.
Males only seem to have a stronger drive because in our culture, males are supposed to brag and females are supposed to be modest.
You are not masturbating too much, I think it's just about the right amount. enough to give you a rich fantacy life, but not so much that it becomes an addiction and interferes with actually HAVING a life.
I started masturbating before I was 10, so you are not too young, and some weekends before i got married to my husband I was able to come 15 or more times - my record was 23 in one long ecstatic weekend, so you are not doing it too much. I was very very sore for days afterwards though - I wouldn't recommend it.

Answer 2

Everybody's different. Some people have higher sex drives than others. To be honest, I think female sex drives are under-rated. In real life people often pretend they're low for social taboo reasons etc, but then come onto the internet where we're all anonymous and so many females admit to masturbating often, probably not quite as much as you, but still very often like every day or almost every day or more. You're a teenager, I think it's normal, you could have more testosterone, and it might slow down when you're older. It'll probably be good when you get a partner too. Have fun!

Answer 3

While much of the attention these days is focused on women who complain of too little sexual excitement or genital arousal, there are a small number of women who experience the opposite complaint-that of persistent sexual (genital) arousal that occurs without feelings of sexual desire and which persists for hours, days or weeks despite one or more orgasms. While initially the sensations may be pleasurable, over time the intense, unrelieved feelings of vaginal and clitoral sensations become distressing.

If you believe you have this condition, kindly consider completing the PSAS Questionnaire. This is part of a research study being done by Dr. Sandra Leiblum at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. She was the first to identify and describe this mysterious syndrome and has been working hard to better understand its' etiology and possible treatment.

Answer 4

Well there are some cases where the girl can be more sexual than the guy. You guys are young and I'm not here to say that you're making bad choices but since you are young you could just be driven by hormonal feelings. It is true girls mature faster than boys but they mature mentally, not sexually. Meaning they make better choices and don't goof off in class like boys. Sexually it varies.

Answer 5

boys v/s girls.... girls are supposed to be little ladies and the thought of them doing that more than boys (even having sex) is still considered taboo in this world. Just do me a favor. Your 16. masturbate all you want. but wait to have sex. If your a virgin, then make sure your first is with someone special. and dont go out and have sex just because all your friends are doing it and think its cool. they wont think its cool when they end up pregnant or with a STD. its good that you feel comfortable with your body...but dont go sharing it with everyone :o) all of this is not a lecture, . and if I can help one person, then its worth the "lecture" If your already having sex, ask yourself something...dont you deserve to wait.

Answer 6

Sex drive varies from person to person. On days before my period I just have to do something because I seem to be in constant arousal. Masturbation for me is almost a nightly thing when the husband is away, just do what is normal for you and dont compare yourself to others because if we all did everything the same what would be the point to trying to be ourselves?

Answer 7

You know... you sound like a dream

Sex drive differs for different people... most girls just just prefer not to disclose too much about it...

Guys and girls have testerones.. Guys have 8 times more... therefore guys are known to have higher sex drives

Answer 8

Masturbation is fine, no matter how much you do it. I wish someone would have told me that when I was your age. It's a lot better to do that then it is to have sex with multiple partners. Who cares what guys assume, everyone is different, you can do whatever you like, as much as you like.
