Scientists and Norway have once again proved how different are the representatives of the stronger sex and the lady. As demonstrated by their research, for women the most romantic time of the year is spring, and men are more sexually active in the fall.
As the authors of the new work think, the sexual desire of ladies is determined by the amount of sunlight. "When we talk about sexual interest, women follow in the footsteps of the sun, and men do not exert such influence. At the same time, the crisis of sexual activity in both sexes is more noticeable in early December, "the scientists said.
The greatest interest to representatives of the opposite sex is experienced by young women in April-May. Men are more sexually active in early August. This greatly surprised the observers who suggested that the peak of sexual activity should be at the same time as in women and men.
Scientists explain their own conclusions by the fact that sunlight has a big impact on the level of hormones in the body, including endorphins. Female sexuality is less stable than masculine, and is affected by the cycle and hormonal changes. The male body produces testosterone without interruption, while the levels of female hormones that affect sexual desire are dependent on a variety of causes, including the amount of sunlight
