It is generally believed that today that men are more sexually driven or that they seek sexual relationships more than women do. Of course, this is not exactly true, but I think this is the prevalent idea in our times.
I hear however, that the opposite belief was popular at one time in many places. That women are the more sexually hungry, and crave relationships more than men do. If fact, women were depicted as trying to seduce men into having sex while the men resisted and considered love and sex foolish pursuits, in some older stories.
I want to know when and where these ideas were prevalent. I know for example that this was likely the dominant thought at some point in ancient India. Is there more places?
There's always more that can be said, but I do have a previous answer to It seems that in the early 18th Century, British perceptions of sexual desire shifted from seeing women as the "lustier sex" to instead putting men in that category. What brought about this shift? that deals with this.
