Men react to female ovulation: find out how we figured it out
Let”s return to mammals. Scientists have proven that females often experience sudden heat when they want to become fertile. Women do not feel this warmth, and the desire to have sex can be felt all year round. However, many studies claim that a woman”s level of sexual desire directly depends on the stage of her menstrual cycle. Sexual desire reaches its peak during the ovulatory phase. This is an evolutionary way of promoting reproduction.

Libido peaks during ovulation
At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, researchers conducted a standardized survey of 115 women ages 23 to 45 about their libido and sexual function. Each participant experienced it twice — in the middle of the cycle and before menstruation. They emphasized that in the middle of the cycle they had more interest in sex and better orgasms. Dutch researchers showed an erotic video to 20 women whose genitals were connected to a special device that controlled blood flow. Increased blood circulation indicates increased arousal. In ovulating women, blood flow increases more strongly. The accompanying study also found that women feel most energetic during this time of the month. Researchers from the University of Rhode Island conducted a study of 96 women. They were asked to rate their interest in one of four types of films. Among them were comedies, melodramas, action films and erotica. Researchers have recorded a “surge” in interest in erotic films as ovulation approaches. Other researchers in Arizona asked 236 women to personally monitor their bodies, tracking frequency of masturbation and basal body temperature. During ovulation, body temperature rises rapidly, and the peak of masturbation subsides just when body temperature rises.

Canadian researchers filmed 19 women walking down the street. At the same time, some were menstruating, while others were ovulating. Thirty-five men watched the videos and rated their sexual attractiveness. When compared between women, ovulating women swayed their hips more often. It’s easy to guess who was preferred by the stronger sex.
The evolutionary side of the issue
Not everything in this world is like that. For women, the biological goal is reproduction. Clearly, evolution has motivated women to make these changes during ovulation in order to conceive. Premenstrual syndrome, which occurs a few days before menstruation, has been shown to suppress sexual desire.
According to researchers, about 50% of women experience irritability, cramps and depression every month. There is a certain balance that counterbalances the reluctance to make love. Then ovulation occurs.
Other factors
In addition to ovulation, there are several factors that affect a woman”s libido:
- Hormonal contraceptives. They can affect sexual desire and the natural menstrual cycle.
- Permanent employment in the workplace. They suppress sexual desire during intimacy and even during ovulation.
- Long-term relationships. Single women are more likely to experience the need and desire for sex compared to women in established relationships.
Of course, this attraction to sex during ovulation is not so obvious. However, on a subconscious level, women experience a stronger need for physical intimacy.
Men, a little life hack: tracking a woman”s menstrual cycle and determining its midpoint will allow you to use heavy artillery. Of course she won”t be able to resist!
