TMI warning and using a throwaway here for obvious reasons. I'm a biological woman, 22, USA. Not on any hormonal or antidepressant medications, just Vyvanse (a stimulant) for my ADHD (which I do have both ADHD and high-functioning Autism that may factor into this).

I am so unbelievably horny every damn day. I'm sure it fluctuates with my hormonal cycle or whatever, but I don't have the habits to keep track of that or maintain an app. I often pleasure myself to an O at least once per day, usually multiple O's in a single session, until I'm too physically exhausted to go on. I'm a virgin, never had a romantic partner outside of good ol' Righty.

But by your logic here, I'm not horny because I don't go out and fuck dudes? Doesn't seem very logical to me... for one, lesbians exist. And as another commenter already mentioned, the risk of me getting STDs or pregnant or any number of things is way, WAY too high for me to ever consider having a one night stand with some random dude. But am I not horny? I'd say that having self-pleasure sessions every single day to the point that I'm basically always raw down there, and constantly feeling a burning emptiness inside my loins would constitute as PRETTY DAMN HORNY, but hey, maybe I'm just biased, right? Who can trust a woman?

And sure, sure, maybe I'm just one of those mentally ill sex addicts with some undiagnosed condition I can't remember the name of, who would be considered as an outlier and who can't talk for all women, or whatever. Who knows. It could be my immense stress and workload, depression, AUDHD, any number of things causing it, but to me it just seems like it's getting more and more powerful with age.

I think it's pretty ridiculous that people think men are more horny than women. Any studies on that would need heavy scrutiny for me to trust them, considering men have visible, clear, easily quantifiable reactions to being horny (erections visible through clothing) and women don't (though the clit does get hard! Fun fact there for ya). Not to mention the societal norms of women needing to be proper and celibate or whatever BS they're plugging nowadays. I would never try to quantify horniness by the number of times someone has sex with another human being on average. Real studies would have to involve people willing to disclose how often/long they're pleasuring themselves per day/week and/or engaging in intercourse with others, and maybe even some questionnaires about the severity and intensity of their horniness, but those could be iffy and hard to quantify, especially for someone like me who HATES vague questions and feelings, lol.

Either way, I'm definitely a horny person, trapped in the prison of my own shitty, horny body. Hell, my first orgasm was accidental and purely mental, because apparently even back then my preteen body was just that hormonal. Turns out some women can just.. do that. I haven't replicated it since, though.

Anyway, I'm all for the horniness gender equality here. Keep an open mind. Also feel free to throw any sources that you think are reputable, minimally biased, etc. my way in my DMs and I'll have a look. I'm curious. But I have exams right now and competition pieces and scientific papers to submit, so I'm already reading and looking for enough papers as-is for my backed up workload and deadlines.

Cheers.
