SAEDNEWS: Scientists Believe Women's Evolution Is Directly Linked to Increased Sexual Desire, Which Rises Significantly Alongside It
According to many of us, sexual desire is higher in youth. In women, sexual desire is generally high before the age of 45, and naturally, the younger a woman is, the higher her sexual drive tends to be. However, the interesting fact is that women usually reach their highest level of sexual desire during a specific age range. Research conducted on single and married women has revealed intriguing insights into the secrets of female sexual desire.
Sexual desire is influenced by both mental and physical conditions, and hormones such as estrogen and testosterone can play a significant role in sexual drive and overall physical health in both women and men.
David Buss, a psychologist and researcher at the University of Texas, found in his studies that women in their 30s and 40s experience stronger sexual desire compared to other stages of life. The research also showed that women aged 27 to 45 have stronger sexual fantasies and higher sexual motivation—even more than women aged 18 to 26, who often have more social interaction with the opposite sex in a university environment.
Scientists believe that a woman’s sexual desire is directly linked to her evolutionary development. Sexual desire increases significantly as women mature.
One theory connects this phenomenon to the experiences of women’s ancestors. In earlier times, many women faced the loss of children due to disease, war, famine, or other factors. During their 20s, women focused more on childbirth and child-rearing, leaving little time for sexual needs. After their 20s, as they approached the end of their fertility and the onset of menopause, women were more likely to engage in sexual activity to increase the chances of conception.
To explore this, researchers surveyed 827 women about their sexual habits. They found that women who had passed their peak childbearing years but had not yet reached menopause were sexually more active. Women aged 27 to 45 not only had higher sexual desire but also significant sexual fantasies.
These findings align with a 2002 study that also reported increased sexual desire in women in their 30s and 40s. The results apply to both single and married women. Participants in this study were students at the University of Austin, Texas.
It is well-established that after menopause, a decrease and eventual halt in estrogen production—which is also a factor in osteoporosis—affects women’s sexual desire, gradually reducing it. However, sexual desire never completely disappears and can remain alive throughout life.
