“We and they feel the same sexual desire, but with nuances that differentiate its development and intensity, since this desire in women does not have a fundamentally instinctive character,” clarifies Nayara Malnero Suárez, clinical psychosexologist.
Equality in the sexual desire of women and men
We tend to think that women’s sexual desire is lower than that of men. That sexuality in them is something more instinctive and that their high testosterone levels generate a greater need for sex.
On the other hand, we normalize the lack of this sexual desire as if it were part of our nature… And no, we don’t ask for specialized help as much.
Added to this is that, among my followers of Experienceonly 30% of them say they are completely satisfied with their sex life.
Many of these women, in fact, admit that they feel lazy or prefer to dedicate their time to other activities; even though later, when they have sex, they say they have a lot of fun… They even think: “Why don’t I do this anymore?”
Nayara, what differences are observed in women’s sexual desire, asks Marieta?
Women have the same sexual desire as men, just differently. All this confusion is due to ignorance.
Generally, There are two types of sexual desire: Type one and type two.
Him type one desire is more instinctive, characteristic in men: appears, excitement is generated and desire ends when you are satisfied, both individually and as a couple.
However, in many women what happens is type two desire. In us, It’s not generated so much by instinct.
This minimal difference between types 1 and 2 boils down to a simple adaptation between the two ways of feeling and developing sexual desire.
At the same time, women have become normalized by enjoying sexual relationships little; and we have become normalized to remain silent about what they might think of us if we are creative or propose new erotic and sexual experiences.
“It’s time to break all these preconceived ideas“, underlines Nayara Malnero Suárez.

Conclusion from Nayara, your psychosexologist: “Women and men may have the same intensity in sexual desire, but sometimes we simply feel it differently… And remember, sex should always be free, healthy and safe, both for them and for them.”

What are the key differences in how men and women experience sexual desire?
Interview Between the Time.news Editor and Nayara Malnero Suárez
Editor (Marieta): Welcome to Time.news, Nayara! It’s always a pleasure to have you here to discuss such vital topics. Today, we’re diving into the nuances of sexual desire in women compared to men. To start, can you clarify the common misconception that women’s sexual desire is inherently lower than men’s?
Nayara Malnero Suárez: Thank you for having me, Marieta! This misconception stems from ignorance and a lack of understanding of how sexual desire manifests differently in women. It’s important to emphasize that women experience the same sexual desire as men but with significant nuances in its development and intensity.
Editor: Can you elaborate on these different types of sexual desire you mentioned in your article?
Nayara: Absolutely! Generally, we categorize sexual desire into two types. Type one, often associated with men, is more instinctive. It arises, excitement builds, and then it concludes once satisfaction is achieved. On the other hand, many women experience type two desire, which isn’t primarily driven by instinct. Instead, it might be more situational or emotional, meaning they might not actively seek sex but can become engaged when appropriate circumstances arise.
Editor: That’s a fascinating distinction. So, is it fair to say that societal perceptions and expectations contribute to how women experience and express their sexual desires?
Nayara: Yes, exactly! Society often normalizes the silence around women’s sexual satisfaction and curiosity. Many women might feel discouraged from exploring their desires due to fear of judgment or stereotypes. This leads to a lack of communication about their needs and experiences in sexual relationships. We need to break these preconceived ideas to foster a healthier dialog.
Editor: You mentioned that only 30% of your followers feel completely satisfied with their sex lives. What do you think are the main barriers contributing to this dissatisfaction?
Nayara: The barriers are multifaceted. Many women report feeling a sense of laziness or prioritize other activities over sex, even though they enjoy it once they engage. This inconsistency often leads to statements like, “Why don’t I do this more?” They may also worry about how they are viewed by their partners or society at large, which can diminish their willingness to explore new experiences.
Editor: It sounds like there’s a psychological component at play here as well. How can women begin to reclaim their sexual satisfaction and desire?
Nayara: The first step is to open up the conversation about sexual health and pleasure. Women should feel empowered to seek help when needed and explore their desires without shame. Encouraging a supportive environment where they can share their thoughts and experiences is crucial. Self-exploration and understanding one’s own desires can also lead to greater satisfaction.
Editor: That’s incredibly insightful, Nayara. As we close, what message do you want to leave our readers regarding the pursuit of sexual equality and satisfaction?
Nayara: It’s time to recognise and embrace the uniqueness of female sexual desire. Women should break free from societal expectations and focus on their own pleasure and satisfaction. By encouraging open conversations and seeking fulfillment, we can create a more equitable understanding of sexuality. Remember, desire is not diminished; it’s simply different.
Editor: Thank you so much for your insights today, Nayara. It’s vital that we continue to address these topics for a more inclusive understanding of sexuality.
Nayara: Thank you, Marieta! It’s been a pleasure to discuss such an important subject. Let’s keep the conversation going.
