Women don’t understand the extent to which performance anxieties, self-esteem issues and body-image issues all affect male sex drive. Men have many of the same issues as women when it comes to sex: feeling out of shape, unattractive, not wanting to be seen naked during sex.

As relationships progress over time, women can’t assume that men are Pavlovian dogs that want to have sex every time you ring the bell. Sexual desire begins in the brain, not the groin. Women don’t understand how men can differentiate so easily between love and sex. During sex, women produce oxytocin, a hormone that stimulates a strong emotional connection. So, they’re more emotionally integrated during sex. Men produce little to no oxytocin, and can have sex without any emotional connection.
