I always thought that women had sex drives just like men and wanted sex for enjoyment, pleasure, and validation. They simply had higher standards for who they wanted it with.

But after reading a lot on PPD, it seems like sex for women does nothing for them - they can easily go without sex for long periods of time, possibly their whole life. I have read on here that women use sex largely as a manipulation tool to get resources and commitment from men. They don't actually want sex for sex's sake and the enjoyment and pleasure it brings.

This is an interesting perspective. I never heard this perspective until coming to PPD. So do women really want or need sex? Or is it just something they put up with to get stuff from men?
