In a large French survey, 68.8% of men (N = 8948) admitted that "sexual intercourse is essential to feeling good about oneself" (Bajos et al. 2010)

This should be obvious, but muh toxic masculinity...

I could imagine that some men lied and answered 'no' to this question because they did not want to appear shallow (social desirability bias).

The same study also reports a decline in sexual activity between 1992 and 2006 for men under 30 (10.4 vs 7.7 mean number of partners, during lifetime, p < 10e-5) which roughly matches the trend in the US, so French women are also likely giving out less sex.

Edit: Btw men's number of partners can likely be trusted as there is no good evidence of them lying about it. Less sex for men implies that women have not become more slutty in terms of having lots of sex. Though women have likely become more choosy and less well-behaved.

I swear I never do this, but...

This. OMG this. This is what normies will never understand, its not about an orgasm, its about all the things that go along with sex.
