Why Do Women Require Twice the Amount of Sex As Men Do?

Have you ever had a relationship that didn't work out?

Did you ever have the impression that your lover didn't understand you?

When it comes to the top causes for relationships and marriages failing, 'lack of communication' and 'libido discrepancies' are two of the most prevalent.

Men are also thought to desire sex more than women, according to popular belief.

This is false, and in this essay, I'll explain why (along with how to level the playing field when it comes to sex drive).

And it's not that there isn't enough communication when it comes to 'lack of communication.' It's the fact that both men and women are unaware of how their brains function.

I'll demystify neuroscience so you can understand how your brain works, how your partner's brain works, and how to apply this knowledge to improve your relationships.

Male vs. Female Intelligence

"The most lovely portion of my body is my brain." Lara's comment

The left and right sides of our brain operate quite differently, which is one of the remarkable things about our brain.

THE MALE LEFT BRAIN

Our brain's left side is quite mechanical; it is task-oriented, strategic, mathematical, and linear.

The "masculine" brain is what this is referred to as.

Of course, this isn't to imply that women can't be strategic, quantitative, or linear, but these traits are more common among men.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that dwells in the left brain.

(Imagine a neurotransmitter as a brain hormone.)

Your motivation is derived from dopamine.

Remember how good it felt to cross something off your to-do list? Or when a follower loves your Instagram post?

That's dopamine at work.

To put it another way, when you do something that elevates your dopamine levels, you're more inclined to do it again to experience the same dopamine rush and nice sensations in your brain.

You may stay interested, enthusiastic, and driven to finish activities when you have strong motivation.

What's nice about dopamine is that you can increase your own amounts.

THE (FEMALE) RIGHT BRAIN

Things start to become a little more intriguing once we enter the right brain.

The right hemisphere of the brain is more in tune with the senses.

It allows you to be more imaginative. It's a really personal experience. It all boils down to enthusiasm.

This is more of the "female" brain, and while males can be sensuous and passionate, these are more feminine characteristics.

Serotonin, our happy hormone, resides in this area.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter found in the right side of the brain, and the distinction is that you can't enhance your own serotonin levels.

EXTERNALLY, serotonin is elevated.

Positive comments from our loved ones, our workplace, and our surroundings all help to boost our happiness.

Because serotonin raises dopamine levels, it's critical to understand this.

Ahhh…jokes.

As a result, the more positive feedback we receive from our external surroundings in the form of praise and recognition, the more driven we are to keep doing the action that generated the acclaim.

YOUR serotonin levels are raised by your lover in the setting of your relationship.

As a result of receiving good feedback from your spouse, your serotonin levels rise, which raises your dopamine levels.

THIS IS WHERE IT BEGINS TO GET REALLY AMAZING...

Men have 50 percent more serotonin receptors than women, despite the fact that women are more right-brained in nature.

More than 50%!

So, in terms of relationships, what does that imply?

• Women require double the amount of love and care, as well as positive reinforcement from our surroundings.
• To induce the same neurochemical cascade, women require additional encouragement along the way.
• Serotonin levels will plummet, and subsequently, so will dopamine levels, if she does not receive positive reinforcement from her surroundings.

The Dopamine-Serotonin Dance

"I get a tiny dopamine spritz every time my TweetDeck sends a new tweet to my desktop, which pulls me away from... from... wait, what was I saying?" — Keller, Bill

As previously stated, increased serotonin levels lead to increased dopamine levels.

The Serotonin and Dopamine Dance in a Positive Light:

• My clinical profession generates a lot of positive feedback (serotonin) since patients frequently tell me how much of a difference I've made in their lives.
• I've had athletes achieve new personal bests, fathers are able to play with their children again, and ladies remark their headaches are gone and they've never felt more energized and joyful.
• I tell myself all the time that I can't wait to do it all over again tomorrow!
• What truly happens in this positive feedback loop in the neurotransmitter world is that I get a serotonergic boost from my external environment, which boosts my motivation (dopamine).
• This motivates me to strive to improve as a doctor and to assist others.
• To put it another way, when your serotonin levels are high, your dopamine levels are high as well.
• Because my efforts and the end result are in sync, this is neural paradise.

A Negative Example of the Serotonin — Dopamine Dance:

A lady wishes to express her love and affection for her male companion. She spends the day researching recipes and preparing his favorite supper, as well as cleaning the house. She has her hair, nails, and everything else done, and she's all scented and ready to go.

Her partner arrives home in a foul mood or exhausted. He doesn't want to interact with her and instead prefers to relax in front of the television.

What would happen to her dopamine (motivator) and serotonin (happiness) levels?

Simply put, because she expects a result that matches her efforts, this would be neurochemically catastrophic.

If she does not receive the reaction she expects, she will be less motivated to do so in the future.

Dopamine levels drop when serotonin levels drop.

What happens to her motivation (dopamine) when this happens again? Is this the tenth time? Is it for the hundredth time?

BABY, LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX.

Sex is an expression of emotion through motion -Mae West

This is when things start to become a bit more interesting.

The reason I'm telling you this is that you can't speak about an epic, legendary romance without including sex, right?

So you can see what happens when someone engages in sexual behavior on a regular basis.

What does it mean to have a normal sexual life?

A minimum of two to three times every week, according to the data.

So, in terms of males and females, who need more sex?

(And don't even mention the males!!)

It's a woman!

Women NEED good feedback from their partners to enhance serotonergic pathways in the brain and hence dopamine levels.

Isn't sex the most personal, raw form of communication with our partners?

Intimacy, connection, trust, and bonding all take place in this space.

As a result, I strongly reject the notion that males are just interested in sex and women are only interested in chocolate.

It's a bunch of nonsense.

If a woman feels nourished, loved, cared for, and appreciated, she will pursue sex like an animal in order to obtain that serotonergic burst in her brain, and she will be inspired to be the best partner possible.

The manlier you are, the harder it is to understand what a female wants — Criss Jami

Now, I understand that this may be difficult for some to accept, but understanding that health is an active process and that a woman's health is a direct reflection of her connection with her husband is essential.

A woman requires love, dignity, esteem, and security.

Let's not forget about the males. Our guys, too, deserve to be valued and respected.

Men are unable to bear children or nurse, but they are eager to assist you, ladies!

Thank them for taking out the garbage, mending your computer, or simply being a kind person who solves problems for you.

This will increase his serotonin and dopamine levels, making him more determined to be the best companion he can be for you.

Emerson Eggerichs calls this the Love — Respect Cycle:

When you fail to notice and appreciate your guy in a relationship, he will pull away from you. He is unappreciated for his labor and contribution.

As a woman, you will begin to feel less encouraged, less loved, and less inspired when you perceive your partner moving away, and you will begin to drift away as well.

And this is when the vicious cycle begins.

A neurobiological explanation for our country's 70% divorce rate, and most of your life's issues.

In the Future

Oprah Winfrey says, "Turn your wounds into wisdom."

Remember the serotonin—dopamine relationship and the distinctions between men and women whether you're dating, in a relationship for a minute or a decade.

Women in your life, whether it's your lover or a coworker, demand more positive reinforcement than males.

While the guys around you may not require as much praise and encouragement, they nevertheless deserve recognition in order to remain motivated to serve you.

They must be treated with respect.
