Yet studies across Europe show that about a third of women have low or non-existent sexual desire. And, despite the sexualised culture we live in, the vast majority of these women don’t consider this a problem.

hmmm....i must admit that in both long term relationships i have had...my sex drive has been far stronger than both my partners to the point that it comes no where near enough to keep me happy....of course kids put the breaks on it but my needs still far outweight my partners 3 years after having a baby...

and this is what happens when you have a weak stroke

SOME of us women ... would rather and DO have SEX over any little rodent

Their loss ... they wanna hold out and not fuck then let them ...

BUT THEY ( those types ) are NOT us all

I'll take a great sex session 3x a day ANY DAY !

yeah what IS UP with that!!!

sex!!! what's not to like!!!

In my experience except for with one rather exhausting partner (he was a 3 times a day kind), I've always been the one with the higher libido so I can totally relate to your pain

^ I was gonna say that!

I can't help but wonder if its not low libido but just that women are hard to please sexually. When a woman is not sexually satisfied, it's a real downer. The thing about pets is that they are fun and in a way are mentally stimulating because you have to interact with them and play with them. Now I dunno about hamsters because I can't see them being pets. IMO a pet interacts with you. Hamsters just run, sleep and shit.

Most of the ladies on the org seem to have a higher libido than average which may explain, to some degree, their love of Prince. Honestly, I have only met maybe 2 women in real life who can rhapsodize about giving oral sex, not just recieving it the way a female orger can.
