Some interesting quotes.
On Testosterone and sex drive:
And on how testosterone and muscle building ability do not connect.
Example: Women build muscle at the same proportional rate as as men, despite having way less testosterone:
There is also no link between testosterone and aggression and competition. Tradcons like to justify "gender roles" - something that hardly existed in history like they imagine - by appealing to men's "innate aggression and drive to compete, fueled by higher testosterone." There is no evidence for this.
I always mention worldviews in my posts and how data is not neutral. Everyone has a bias, everyone has a worldview. And like an ink-blot test, where one sees his mom drowning in the bathtub, and another sees a picnic in hyde park, however people interpret the data reveals more about them than the data.
When people look at what we say about women, and yes, this may sound crazy, even violent posts here, and they automatically interpret that as threatening to women, they are instantly revealing their bias.
Let's say someone posts on here "GOD IM SO HORNY I WANT TO FUCK A WOMAN IN THE ASS, EVERY TIME I SEE A HOT WOMAN OUTSIDE, I JUST WANT TO CUM IN HER TIGHT PUSSY."
This is just polemic of course, but even statements like this have no inherent moral implication. It could be a joke, it could be an AI generated text on a porn site, it could be a woman trying to bait people etc. The actual intent and message is not inherent to the sentence, which acts as a kind of blank symbol as a whole. We could reduce the whole sentence to something like the "@" symbol. All and every interpretation of that sentence will be biased, even our own.
When it comes to research, we are dealing with philosophically illiterate tradcons interpreting the claims of equally philosophically illiterate scientists who are also operating under misandric biases etc. The result is logically fallacious thinking on a mass level.
Take this simple set of claims.
1. men want sex more than women
2. therefore men must have a higher sex drive than women.
How does 2 follow from 1? It does not at all. And if we asked people that make this claim, so how do we actually know that men have a higher sex drive, they would respond with, "because they want more sex than women" - thus completing the circular argument for us.
In science, there should always be a null-hypothesis, shouldnt there? Going after Popper, shouldnt we seek to falsify our own hypothesis?
So, ask them, what is the alternative explanation to men wanting more sex subjectively.
99% of them have never thought about this.
I can think of countless reasons in my head instantly.
1. women controlling the sexual economy on purpose, as a power move see this article "the sex war:" LINK
As the article points out
- women are the biggest anti-porn group
- women actively raised age of consent
- women slut-shame each other, thus demonizing sexuality for women
Women also got sex doll brothels for men banned.
Further driving this ideological divide is that men are inversely indoctrinated to think of themselves as horny beasts. If you are not horny, you are broken. You should wake up with a raging boner every morning, or you are not "healthy." Having sex = manly. It is interesting that these gender dynamics are again enforced moreso by women than by men.
The gender stereotype that says “boys don’t cry” is being perpetuated implicitly by mothers more than fathers, a new University of Guelph study has revealed. Prof. Kristel Thomassin found mothers may…

So there is a huge cultural thing going on here.
For example, as an anecdote, i once saw an interview, this foid from south america says, in SA women want sex daily. They demand it. But when she went to the US, women were fridgid, only wanted sex maybe once a week.

Another thing people will point to is self-reported masturbation rate, like here:
However again, let us be philosophically anal here. To go from what that says to "men have a higher sex drive" is logically fallacious and a non-sequitur. The reported findings only support the hypothesis of higher male sex drive if you already think men have a higher sex drive to begin with. We can pose alternative hypothesis for this easily:
- there are cultural reasons, like female in-group preference automatically increasing male on male competition and social exclusion. Men want female validation but cant get it. Porn is all about foid validation. If you watch porn, most of it is a foid experiencing pleasure. The guy in the porn is just a dildo. Porn is a simulation of pleasing a woman. So to reduce the whole thing to "sex drive" is insane. Especially considering that most men would rather chase a woman to be rewarded with sex after effort, rather than to just pay for it. This indicates again, that female validation literally trumps the male sex drive.
The reason the two are conflated though is simply because there is a deliberate misconstruement between female validation and sex with a woman. A woman giving you free sex = highest validation she can give basically. However, if society admitted that men literally worship female validation to this extend, that we are collectively obsessed with women to the point of mass psychosis... well that is not what people want to hear, is it?
Does not quite sound like the usualy "men strong, men oppress women, men just want to fuck and see women as objects" type of rethoric.
I also want to throw another thing into the mix here, a general tidbit on how humans form habits and addictions:
mega.nz
TDLR
- the vast majority of drug addicts never end up in rehab and quit on their own
- the people that end up in rehab are a subset that has additional issues, like history of abues or health issues
- drugs are not inherently addictive as claimed in the "substance-addiction-disease" model, rather it is environmental circumstances that keep people trapped in habitually negative patterns
- this is proved because as the research shows, the 80% of people that quit drugs do it mostly because of things like getting married, returning from warzone (to home environment), etc
(side note: it is hilarious that female validation, as in marriage and relationships, can literally outcompete shit like heroin, to the point where men quit heroin and crack in order to maintain the good will of a woman, holy shit)
- this is not limited to drugs but extends to all human activity. The male sex drive could easily be part of that. For most of history women were viewed as more sexual than men, not vice versa. Stressed men with worse lives resort to more high risk behaviors, sexually, drugs, alcohol, fast driving. That does not mean they have a higher sex drive, maybe their life is just way worse than womens, so they cope with masturbation more.
It is interesting that people admit this connection between stress/trauma and increased sexuality when it comes to women, but not men. We always hear that sluts or promiscuous women are "damaged good" etc. Society readily tells us that women with mental issues are more sexual to cope, but fails to make the association between mens lives being harder, and men coping more as a result (with drugs, alcohol, sex etc).
Again, I am not saying this is necessarily true, I am just demonstrating that there are countless ways to approach human behavior and gender-specific patterns, none of which necessarily require biological reductionism to be explained.
2. abundance mindset vs deprivation mindset.
When you can get sex freely, you dont value it as much and you take only offers from the highest bidder. This is basic market economics. Women giving less sex or only conditional sex to most men and then inferring this is because women have lower sex drive, is like saying your local supermarket sets prices for bread because the store owner is less hungry than normal people.
3. Female lesbian pill.
Women in studies are attracted to other women in general, in spite of self-reported sexual orientation - see research my meredith chivers on this.
Further supporting this is the evidence for female in-group bias, which is exists only among women - women support each other, fetishsize each other, not men.
Lets do the math here, hope this is not retarded, cuz im bad at math.
Society is 50/50 men/women.
Women are all basically lesbian in studies. So now we get a huge amount of foid-foid attraction.
Factor in chads.
20% of men are chads + most women can get sex from other women.
This leaves a minority group of men who have restricted or no access to women, like 30% of society essentially. Lifelong incels are a giga minority in this crude model, because we have to remove buxxers from the 30% of men too. And men that go to prostitutes. And homosexuals and animal fuckers.
This kinda explains threads like this:
I looked at CDC data from 2006-2008 (before the average of virginity rised a little). Of men ages 25-29, 3.8% have never engaged in any sexual contact with the opposite sex, compared to 3.1% of men ages 30-34, 1.3% of men ages 35-39, and 1.2% of men ages 40-44. This means 92.3% of men who never...
incels.is
At the end of life, only a single digit number of men and women will still be virgins.
Going back to my point, Women fucking each other and dogs over men could of course deprive men of sexual release as a whole.
Another dimension I have touched on but not really elabed is that sex drive is not necessarily triggered by hormones, but can also come about socially, which nobody ever talks about. Yes, sex drive can be a sort of "social construct" - let me give you an idea. Boobs.
In tons of countries around the world, boobs are not seen as sexual. I am not clowning, even in europe in the middle ages and beyond, noble women had themselves depicted with their boobies out:

en.wikipedia.org
@Stupid Clown - you mentioned this in your video on why porn sucks now, you showed an image of mid-riffs as sexual. Again, nothing is new under the sun.
en.wikipedia.org

So we see from this that sex-drive and attraction to certain things can be purely cultural. So why not the male sex drive? Men are encouraged to masturbate and be sexual, that is the predominant stereotype pushed on men in our time. They keep us in a classic double bind - if you are not sexual you are worthless, but if you flaunt your sexuality you are a subhuman brute, controlled by raging hormones.
And inversly, women are encouraged to not be sexual by other women and signal high value by rejecting men. Rejection = I am high status enough to reject a man. Supporting evidence for this is that women pick and reject partners collectively:
View: https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPillScience/comments/gfsa5k/women_not_only_copy_the_mate_choice_of_other/
And also that women are more promiscious when travelling, when the social pressure to signal high-status is reduced (nobody knows what you did on vacation and women love to travel):
The "I like to travel, teeheee", like many memes, is based in reality and cold hard fact. There's a reason why so many young, and even married, women love to 'travel" so much without their betabuxx cucks. They enjoy "girls' trips" becasue they can engage in infidelity and experiment with men...
incels.is
So again, evidence for cultural pressure having influence on self-reported and actual sexual expression. This could disort data in self reported studies massively.
4. prostitutes and wives
- how do they get wet? Nobody ever asks this, if women can not get sexually aroused by average men, how exactly does betabuxxing (maintenance sex) and prostitution work? Again, this posts more to "abundance mindset" being the reason why women seem less horny, not an actual lower drive. If you had access to every food ever, you would not come off as hungy either. But you can still get hungry for a cheeseburger, in spite of aving access to kaviar no shit. The human drive to eat is indiscriminatory towards food. If you are hungry, anything will do.
Anyway, I am just throwing this at the wall and letting my thoughts run here. I dont like biological reductionism arguments and claims that are made like the conclusion is just obvious.
