Who Wants More Sex: Male or Female? A Psychological and Biological Exploration
The question of whether males or females have a greater desire for sex is as old as human curiosity itself. This journal explores the intricate dynamics of sexual desire through the lenses of evolutionary biology, psychology, sociocultural influences, hormonal factors, and contemporary research.
