A study has proved that female sex drive is at the peak in spring. One of the best things about spring is that cleavage comes out of hibernation, but sexy outfits are not the only thing in bloom, apparently. A new study shows that women’s sex drive also blossoms in the springtime. Research from University of Tromso in Norway has suggested that women are more horny in the spring than any other time of year. Apparently their arousal is closely linked to light that as it starts to shine more in April and May, their craving for sex peaks.
Spring breakers are thrilled with the news, and while they couldn’t care less as to why thats the case, one hypothesis for the arousal increase is that sunlight can have an impact on certain hormones in the body, such as endorphins, which influence our happiness and horniness. As for men, although were horny 24-7/365, the study showed that our randiness ramps up in the fall, with August being our peak month. Consider this just one more realm where men and women arent on the same page.
A team of Norwegian researchers has concluded that women and men function differently when it comes to wanting sex, with women at their most active in the spring and men in the autumn.The research team at the University of Tromsø in northern Norway has concluded that female sexual desire is determined by the light and the sun.
“Women follow the light with regards to sexual interest, but surprisingly men don’t. Although both women and men reach their nadir in December,” said Arne Holte at the University of Tromsø (UIT) to broadcaster NRK. Holte has studied the connection between sexual lust and light among young people in Tromsø, Alta and Hammerfest in northern Norway and concluded that April/May is the period when women display a heightened interest in sex.
Men however tend to be most sexually active in August. “It’s a little strange, one would think that both would peak at the same time,” said Kral Arne Stokkan, a professor of arctic biology at the university, explaining that experts remain uncertain as to why. The amount of sunlight is however generally known to have an impact on the amount of various hormones, such as endorphins, produced by the body and thus an explanatory factor determining heightened sexual activity.
According to sexologist Bente Træen at the University of Tromsø, men’s sexuality is considered to be more stable while women’s is more affected by surroundings and by menstruation. She argued that while men produce testosterone all the time, female hormones affecting sexual interest increase as the amount of daylight increases. “This is connected to the feeling of being in love and the secretion of dopamine, which stimulates the pleasure centre in the brain,” she told NRK.
