Document Summary
Why do we have sex? on our genes. Having sex with your partner to please them because they desire for sex want to have sex is completely different than when you want to have sex. Someone may have a large sex drive, but have no one to have sex with. When measuring sex drive, its best to take away partners - trying to talk about the person, not the people they"re having sex with: kinsey"s behavioural measures. Total sexual outlet the amount of orgasms you have. Doesn"t matter who its with, or if its alone, with a partner, stranger, etc. than women. Problem because kinsey was a man men orgasm more. Men"s tso is much higher than women"s. Thought to be because women have a lower sex drive which is true: attitudinal measures. Sexual desire inventory (specter et al. , 1996) Talks about times you would have liked to have done x or y. Better measure of women"s sexuality than men"s.
