| | Women horny during ovulation? Page 2 of 2 (1, 2) | Estrogen “peaks” for a woman when she is ovulating (mid-cycle). With estrogen at it’s highest level a woman usually feels her skin is the softest...her hair is the shiniest and “her glow” the most alluring. High levels of “estrogen” create a “proceptive” (read: seductive) attitude in an ovulating female’s brain. Typically a woman can exhibit four different attitudes towards sex based on the NUMEROUS (over 10) levels of hormones circulating in her body. These sexual attitudes are: 1) active (aggressive), 2) receptive (passive), 3) proceptive (seductive) and 4) aversive (against).
Usually a woman incorporates the latter three responses (receptive, proceptive, and aversive) as part of her normal cycle routine IF she is not on some kind of hormonal birth control. Most people would concur that the “sexually aggressive female” is an atypical female. Here are some research discoveries that might help to shed some light on WHY some females are sexually aggressive based on the hormone testosterone..
An active (aggressive) attitude towards sex (in a woman) “can be” a strong indicator of higher than normal levels of testosterone circulating in her body. Because testosterone levels increase in response to accomplishment (read: winning)...social status and pecking order...successful career women usually have higher than normal levels of testosterone for a woman. Consider this: an ovulating female “career woman” might be more aggressive when she is ovulating than seductive...due to her higher than normal testosterone level trumping her ovulating estrogen influence. ~WHOA~
An aside thought: There are some rare women whose nature (genetic endowment) is such that they have a naturally higher level of circulating testosterone than the typical female. Therefore there are women who can be sexually aggressive that are NOT necessarily career women...they were predestined due to their genetic makeup (of higher than normal testosterone levels) to be sexually aggressive irrespective of their station in life.
The down side to “testosterone sexual aggression” is that “high levels” of testosterone foster masturbation over intercourse...aggression over accommodation and polygamy over monogamy. Guess you can have too much of a testosterone thing! Oh and let’s not forget the increased facial hair...voice deepening...breast shrinking...clitoris enlarging testosterone side-effects on a woman! YEOW!
Typically men are the aggressors when it comes to sex due to their “much higher testosterone levels” (20 to 40 TIMES greater). A Woman being proceptive (seductive) during ovulation infers she has a healthy balance of estrogen and testosterone circulating in her body and that her peaked level of the “I AM AN ATTRACTIVE/DESIRABLE WOMAN” hormone (estrogen) has imbued her with a strong desire to copulate.
When all is said and done...there are a myriad of factors that influence a woman’s sexual desire this is just a snippet of how the hormones estrogen and testosterone might influence a woman’s desire to procreate. | |

Of course a woman of child bearing age is going to be more horny during ovulation, it's time to get pregnant, that is what the body is indicating. Sex can sometimes result in children! Brush up on your birds and bees. | |

| Women horny during ovulation? Posted: 6/2/2009 1:22:22 PM | I have only two (2) questions about this study.
1. Where do I go to fill out applications to get grant money for this kind of work? Seriously, I want to get paid to study when women's libido peaks. That's right, PAID. Talk about the world's second best job. (Astronaut still wins.)
2. Please, let's talk about the empirical methodology used in this study. Seriously, what did these eggheads do, hit on the same women day after day until they gave in? | |

When I ovulate (not to be mistaken with having my period...as someone up there suggested) my vision is sharper, my sense of smell is stronger and my pupils dilate more than usual. I feel more attractive and I notice men a lot more. A LOT more! LOL And yes, ovulation makes you very horny. Long live my eggs!
your finger nails grow and you bark at the moon? | |

| Women horny during ovulation? Posted: 6/3/2009 8:36:41 AM | Sometimes I wonder if POF pays to all these wonderful women for these answers. Is all 'real' and 'natural' answers...?. Hard to believe sometimes...jmho | |

Just curious, what happens the rest of the month? You notice men a lot less?
Actually, I have little use for men any other time. After I have utilized them for their precious seed, I eat them. Just call me the black widow LOL!
Of course I notice men at other times, but I notice them ESPECIALLY at ovulation phase. | |

| Women horny during ovulation? Posted: 6/3/2009 11:22:30 AM | | Natural anwsers: means as they're real (natural), or the contrary as 'paid' answers. As my comment said: sometimes Im wondering if POF (pays) women to say these things in a way to get more men to sign up here. If you read some of these posting some women want ... all the time. But if you ask guys they will tell you thats not the case. So basically I'm confused....jmho. | |

| Women horny during ovulation? Posted: 6/3/2009 11:52:11 AM | Sheet you mean I can get paid???? Why didn't anyone tell me? hell I just shoot off at the mouth on my own. *sigh*
Yes, djetc..., there is a Santa Claus. hard to believe, but women are often just as horny as men.
I often have wanted it more often than my partners...male partners...
Might be the age group you are seeing or the women you attract. "cause certainly not all women feel this way. Then again, not all men do either. My ex-hub had no freakin' libido to speak of.
Me, yeah, I'd have sex twice a day easily with the right partner.

| Women horny during ovulation? Posted: 6/3/2009 12:13:30 PM | | djsamdotbiz - It is my opinion that it takes a certain kind of person to frequent the forums. It might not exactly be a perfect band across humanity that you see on here. So some questions like: "Why do men/women always do this...", may be kind of a waste on here. Most on here are big thinkers. I don't mean rocket scientists I just mean do a lot of self and other analysis. This kind of person is also likely to be in tuned to their body as well. Just my opinion. | |
