Your faith in business is strange to me. Sorry you couldn't convince me. Some things I can be convinced of, but I have a higher bar for my evidence. I'll stick with a confident "I don't know who's hornier."

You can have any bar for your evidence ya want. I just think ya look a little silly being so convinced lol.

See ya around.

I just think of literally all available evidence points one way, it's pretty silly to argue every piece is incorrect.

You remind me of people defending Cosby et al with "well, sure but they could ALL be lying." Like, it's conceivably possible but seems extremely unlikely.

Cheers.

Hey, I'm sorry I didn't do this earlier. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1207/S15327957PSPR0503_5

I'm convinced. A quick google and a bit of a read and I feel I have a grounded take. Men desire sex more frequently and likely more intensely in western countries.

Ha, in retrospect I should've looked around earlier too!

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.

For sure! Incase ya didn't look too close its a meta study from 2000 and mostly self report data. The study admits it would've been impossible to control for culture.

Given that the data is over a quarter century old or older and culturally influenced there's for sure some wiggle room with how much it applies today.
