        1/2 True-Gay men have way more sex/casual sex. But I don't know if it needs to be medicalized like it is here. You don't have a disorder unless you or others are distressed/ at risk of harm- many gay men are in open relationships because they know they want sex outside the r'ship

        2/2 Many would argue gay men are simply doing what straight men would do if women were not a limiting factor on sexual activity. Also, IMO, sex addiction is, at best, a dubious classification.

        Yeah the problem is that behavior doesn't depend just on us :-)

        Interesting to consider if all sexually transmitted diseases were cured or vaccinated against so that promiscuity was harmless, from a disease perspective, would that mean “hypersexuality” would cease to exist or diagnosis limited to cases where it caused psychological distress?

        Human levels of paternal investment- especially in individual post-agricultural cultures- are so abnormal among mammals that just repeating that other mammals have a choosy female/promiscuous male dynamic is insufficient. We're obviously very different, question is how and when.

        Eh you never know: perhaps "Love Will Find a Way" is actually full of really hardcore sex scenes 😄

        no, female sexual thirst contrasted with male passivity was an extremely common trope in pre-modern& medieval literature. (even in 30s movies the women r"mad thirsty" as someone said to me watching a ginger rogers movie.) but as you say, hard to disentangle fantasy from reality.

        Here, for example, is an early story in the Decameron, where a woman, having taken a robbed man, decides immediately to seduce him. Maybe this is just "Penthouse Letters" for the 14th century? https://www.gutenberg.org/files/23700/23700-h/23700-h.htm#THE_SECOND_STORY2 …pic.twitter.com/Vu3zr9l67h
