[55] Studies have found that women have a non-category-specific genital response pattern of sexual arousal, meaning their genital responses are only modestly related to their preferred category. [56]
Sexual desire disorders are more common in women than in men, [64] and women tend to exhibit less frequent and less intense sexual desires than men.
