Question 1

how are a men's and women's sex drives different?

Accepted Answer

Sex drive: In general men's sex drives are usually higher than women's sex drives.  Nature has made it happen that men are more or less ready to impregnate women whenever the women is ready to be impregnated.  This involves the survival of the species, and happens throughout the animal kinddom.

Question 2

do both men and women get lower sex drive with prozac (fluoxetine)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: All of the serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor medications of which Prozac (fluoxetine) is a member can cause a decrease in one' s libido also known as sex drive. Since each agent is different in its chemical structure and each of us reacts differently to any medication, not everyone will suffer this side effect with each medication. Talk to your doctor there may be a solution.

Question 3

do women have a lower sex drive than men?

Accepted Answer

That's the stereo-: type, but as a sex therapist, I haven't found that to be true.   I've seen women with whopping-high sex drives and men with nearly zero.   I don't know if generalizations are much help here.   I do know that regardless of high or low sex drives, quality of sex seems to be the better indicator of happiness.

Question 4

do men truly have a stronger sex drive than women?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: I think this depends on the person - many men and women like and enjoy sex and seem more fixated than others.

Question 5

why do you think that mens sex drive stays the same while women over a certain age lose their sex drive?

Accepted Answer

Primitive drives: Most women over the age of 35, happily married, do not have the same sex drive as their husbands.  Men initiate, women need to be coaxed.  There is nothing wrong with either of you.  Evolutionary drives cause men to need to sire more children and women to spend their time and energy caring for the children they have.  This is a case where primitive hormones have not kept pace with modern society.

Question 6

need sex drive back. any medications help this. are treatments different for men and for women?

Accepted Answer

Testosterone, maybe: Regardless of who lost his/her sex drive, the evaluation is similar: first evaluate your relationship. Second, consider external stressors, eg money, family, friends, work, etc. Third, consider substance use, eg tobacco, alcohol & illicit materials. Fourth, any new medications? Fifth, evaluate his/her health: depression, diabetes, high blood pressure and/or cholesterol, heart disease, low t, etc.

Question 7

can a woman tell her man has had sex?

Accepted Answer

Usually not!: Unless there is fresh semen or you like to smell undergarments, the answer is usually not!

Question 8

i'm female, 18 and a virgin, but i don't have any sex drives towards anyone? why?

Accepted Answer

Not met right person: Do not feel rushed or rush yourself--don't "give it away" just to do it. It is extremely likely you will find a partner in the near future, just cannot put a stopwatch on it.

Question 9

do the dna of a man stay in a woman forever after sex?

Accepted Answer

No: Hi Louise,
A man's DNA is found in his cells, like the sperm found in semen.  Following intercourse, the sperm cells in the ejaculate will eventually die.  However, if a pregnancy occurs, the male DNA will become part of the fetus', not the woman's  DNA.  I hope that answers your question.

Question 10

during sex, its good for man to lick womans pussy ???

Accepted Answer

: Your best answer would come from the woman receiving the attention. The risk to you is the bacterial or viral content of her sexual fluids that can infect your mouth and throat. The issues include gonorrhea that can produce a significant soar throat. The most worrisome are strains of HPV that can lead to cancer.
