Is is the same for women?

Skip to the last paragraph if you just want the tl;dr.

Here's the thing.

When I (or men, in general) go a long time without any form of sexual release, I get more easily turned on.

So, for example, if I go a couple of days without sex or masturbation, it'll likely take something overtly sexual to turn me on, like some very serious skin, conspicuous T&A, or some serious skanky stankiness.

However, if I go on like that like for a week or more, then it's gonna take much less than that, like just an ankle or the mere presence of some chick to get me going.

And so my question is: Is it the same for females? Do women get turned on more easily the longer they go without sex or masturbation?

Yeah, it's more or less the same for us 26
Nah, abstinence and horniness are unrelated 15

    • Makes sense if you don't "finish" the first time.

    As a guy this is 100% true for me but not nessecarily for women. I am actually using this to improve my sexual sensitivity. Recently it's been hard to get aroused and excited enough for vanilla sex so I'm basically doing no fap.

    For women though it's not as simple. Some women I've been with get hornier the more sex they have and some just start forgetting about sex if they don't do anything sexual for a while. I think for women it's easier to not think about sex or be horny, where as the feelings are more direct and consistent for men.

    So I would basically say your post is a false dichotomy. Abstinence and horniness are not unrelated for women, but it's not about the same relationship as it is for guys. Add another option for best results.

    • I disagree that women just forget about sex when they're not having any, given that so many of them masturbate, have vibrators, and consume porn stories like donuts.

        Yeah that's nonsense. I pretty much think about sex every day regardless.

        Some don't, but some do. That doesn't change the fact that you don't have a poll option for my answer.

        • I just want to know whether there's correlation between abstinence and how easily they get turned on.

          Those for whom things are more clear-cut tend to just vote. As to the others, they're free to add ancillary information in the comments, as many have.

            Okay well there is a correlation, it's just not as strong of a correlation as there is for guys, and it's more variable between women as well.

    I haven't had actual sex for ages and just watch porn to get me through my sexual urges. I'm not female though. Does that count?

    • Not really. But thanks for answering anyway.

    I think with guys they just want sex all the time. I need to be in a certain mood to really want sex, I need to feel relaxed and like a lot of pampering and foreplay. If the situation is right I feel relaxed and will likely orgasm. Having said that if my husband wants sex I will always oblige him, unless he is extremely drunk, I think a woman should satisfy her husbands needs. He is very considerate and if I’m not feeling in the mood he will usually spend a lot of time with foreplay and trying to relax me.

    • It's not necessarily about wanting to have sex, but just about being turned on, being sexually aroused. And what I'm wondering is whether the frequency of that (feeling aroused) has anything to do with how much time you've been abstinent.

        In that case I’d say the answer is no. But I can’t answer for all women I can only tell you how it is for me

    It is not exactly the same. But, women do masturbate. One thing or another triggers it some time after puberty. It won't necessarily be thought of as masturbation when it happens. It can be extra time in the shower or bath. Or extra time getting to sleep or waking up. Some guy looks at us a certain way or something a guy says. The way an article of clothing feels on our body.

    • So, it doesn't really matter whether you've gone a day without sex or a month. Either way, anything could trigger you. Is that about right?

        Girls don't have the prostate fluid pressure build up.
        We can just miss the feeling.

  • The more sex I have the more turned on I get.

    I'm a woman, and I definitely think about sex more if I'm not getting any.

    I used to have normal libido. But after I started to take meds regularly and since I don't have a partner currently, it takes a lot to get me turned on.

    • May not be a bad thing if you don't have a partner.
