According to a study published in the Journal of Personality an Social Psychology and relayed by the Wall Street Journal, men tend to underestimate their partner’s sexual desire.
How to assess the sexual desire of your partner?
Do men have preconceived ideas about female sexuality? This is what a study led by a team of researchers from the University of Toronto and Western Ontario suggests. Work which indeed reveals that men, as a rule, underestimate the desire of women. To reach these conclusions, the researchers observed the behavior of 229 heterosexual couples, aged 18 to 68, and together for at least 6 years.
44 couples had to evaluate each evening, for 3 weeks, their level of sexual desire and the level of desire of their partner, as they perceived it. 84 couples had to express, during interviews, their general level of sexual desire, their perception of their partner’s sexual desire and their level of satisfaction in the relationship. Finally, the last 101 couples noted, on a daily basis, how they rated their spouse’s desire and estimated how much they feared rejection.
Women uncomfortable with taking initiative
The researchers were able to observe, following these three experiments, that the men very frequently underestimated the libido of their partner. As for the women, they had a fairly accurate vision of what men wanted. According to the researchers, men would have a hard time understanding the signs sent by women who, for the most part, do not feel very comfortable with taking initiative under the duvet.
Clearly, for more sexual fulfillment, it would suffice for women to be more daring and manifest their desire more clearly and for men to be more attentive to their partner. It’s very simple.
