Document Summary
Biologically imperative to engage in sex we should want to have sex as well. Sex is required for the survival of our genes, which is essentially the point of life. The genes that survived across out evolutionary history are the genes of people ho had sex, so. If you measure sex drive in terms of: Not an accurate depiction of sex drive: how many people you have sex with across a unit time. Problem: some people can"t find people to have sex with. *confound with how many people you can get to have sex: how many different sexual partners (per unit time) # of times per unit time, you and your partner have sex. How many times is a compromise (men get less than they want, women get more) So this is not the optimal number for each person. Difficult to measure sex drive in this situation. *confounded with how much sex you can actually get.
