Male v female sex drives compared in this study with very interesting results

Well, this is quite surprising...

Men may have more on their minds than ‘doing the bold thing’ after all if this study on sex drives is anything to go by.

While it’s a bit jaded to suggest that all men think about is sex, 24 hours a day and seven days of the week, a conception among many people is that as men we are the hornier sex. Well, that’s not true, according to a new study on sex drives in the UK.

Voucher Codes Pro surveyed more than 2,000 people who were in a relationship, and the number of women who said they wanted more sex than they were having – 59% – dwarfed the number of men who said the same thing at just 41%.

The study also noted that a fifth of all couples argue about the fact that they’re not having enough sex, and around 60% of respondents said that their sex lives lacked a sense of adventure.

A not insignificant 7% of people said they cheated on their partners, with two-fifths admitting to looking at porn.

Finally, 28% of people responding to the survey admitted to using adult toys to get what they needed in place of a satisfying sex life.
