Understanding Sex Drive
A common stereotype suggests that men have higher sex drives than women, but is this really the case?
A woman confided in the author, saying "My boyfriend just wants to have sex all the time... It's like he's a sex addict or something."
Experts say true sex addiction is rare. It's less about frequency and more about compulsion.
According to psychologist and sexologist Laura Lee,
Wanting sex often isn't an addiction. It only becomes one when it's used to numb or escape emotion, rather than to connect.
The author notes that the 'men have higher sex drives' stereotype is often used as an excuse for infidelity, with men claiming their partner's libido is too low.
Author's summary: Men's high sex drive may not be the whole story.
