This article is for women - especially women who find it hard to understand what makes men 'tick' sexually.

But men will also find it useful to read what follows and to find out how they compare with the rest of male humanity!

Male sex drive
It's difficult for a woman to understand just how powerful the average man's sex drive is.

Although males vary a lot on how keen on sex they are, they do tend to be much more 'driven' sexually than women are. (This applies to gay men as well as to straight guys - but in fact this article just deals with heterosexual males.)

Nature's programming
One of the reasons why the human race has survived for hundreds of thousands of years is the fact that nature has 'programmed' men to be mad- keen on penetrating women - and getting sperm into them.

That may not sound very nice, but it's the truth. The primary sexual objective of a human male is to get his penis inside a woman - and to discharge his sperm into her.

And even though many guys succeed in being faithful to their partners, the scientific truth is that males are really 'programmed' to inseminate as many attractive females as possible. So the fact of the matter is that the human race has survived in the main because primitive men went round fertilising a lot of women - thus ensuring the continuance of the species.

Your man today
But let's bring it up to date. What about your man today?

Well, it should be the case that recent centuries of civilisation have had an effect on him - so that he does not try to impregnate every nice-looking woman he meets.

Nonetheless, the following are safe assumptions:

your man is very keen on sex.

he thinks about it a lot - much more often than you do!

however romantic and gentle he may be, deep down his major objective in life is to get his penis inside you.

and once it's in there, he has a deep, driving 'biological imperative' to reach a climax - and pump his sperm into you.

Oral and rectal sex
So ingrained is this instinct to impregnate a woman that many men appear keen to accept any available female orifice  even if its not the vagina. Thats why a very high proportion of men desire oral sex and a substantial minority (and it does still appear to be a minority) are keen on anal sex.

Are all men the same?
So, nature is likely to have instilled in your man an urge that may seem quite lunatic to you!

But are all men the same? Do they all have these crazy urges to much the same extent?

No, they don't.

For various reasons, some men are very highly sexed, while others are less so. A major factor is the amount of testosterone that they produce.

Testosterone is the male sex hormone, and some guys have a lot of it, while others have less.

In general, men who produce a lot of testosterone tend to be driving, competitive, perhaps aggressive - and mad keen on sex.

Males who produce relatively less testosterone are more inclined to be thoughtful, easy-going and less competitive and they are not quite so likely to keep on dragging you into bed!

Conclusion
So, the average male is more interested in sex than the average female and is much more likely to:

feel very strong urges to have intercourse

take sexual risks, regardless of the consequences

be unfaithful

try 'commercial' (ie paid for ) sex.

The slightest thing can set a man off - for instance:

the sight of a woman's cleavage

a well-shaped bottom

a good pair of legs

even a whiff of perfume.

So, female readers, never underestimate the power of a man's sexual response.

You have been warned!
