SAEDNEWS: Scientists Find a Direct Link Between Female Evolution and Increasing Sexual Desire
According to a news report from Saed News website, quoted by Alodoctor:
Many people assume that sexual desire is strongest during youth. In women, sexual desire is generally high under the age of 45, and the younger a woman is, the stronger her sexual drive tends to be. However, an interesting point is that women typically reach the highest level of sexual desire within a specific age range. Researchers studying both single and married women have uncovered intriguing findings about female sexual desire, which are explained below.
Sexual desire in individuals depends on psychological and physical conditions. Hormones such as estrogen and testosterone can also influence sexual desire and the physical condition of both women and men.
David Buss, a psychologist and researcher at the University of Texas, along with his research team, concluded that women experience higher sexual desire during their 30s and 40s compared to other stages of life. The study also found that women aged 27 to 45 have stronger sexual fantasies and greater sexual interest than girls aged 18 to 26, who may have more interaction with the opposite sex, especially in university environments.
Scientists believe that female development is directly linked to sexual desire, which tends to increase significantly with maturity.
One theory suggests that this phenomenon is related to ancestral conditions. In the past, many women lost children due to disease, war, famine, and other hardships. As a result, in their 20s, they focused more on having and caring for children and had less time for sexual needs. However, later in life, as they approached the end of their reproductive years and menopause, they became more inclined toward sexual activity to increase the chance of reproduction.
To investigate this, a researcher and his team distributed questionnaires to 827 women about their sexual habits. They found that women who had passed their peak reproductive years but had not yet reached menopause were more sexually active. This age group, between 27 and 45, also reported stronger sexual fantasies.
This finding was consistent with a 2002 study that reported increased sexual desire in women in their 30s and 40s. The results applied to both single and married women. Participants in the study were students at the University of Texas at Austin.
It was previously established that after menopause, due to a decrease and eventual cessation of estrogen production (a factor also linked to osteoporosis in women), sexual desire is affected and gradually decreases. However, it is clear that sexual desire never completely disappears and can be maintained throughout life.
