If a woman has greater sexual needs during her "peak", she will naturally feel it and it will be reflected in her sexual life. Therefore, doctors rarely remind women in clinical practice to use the peak of sexual desire to improve the quality of sexual life.

Recently, North Carolina State University in the United States conducted a survey of more than 300 unmarried women and found that most of the respondents had premarital sex before and after menstruation, and the probability of orgasm was also high at this time. The report also pointed out that the time for married women to reach orgasm is mostly around the time of menstruation.

In fact, this topic has already attracted the attention of the scientific community. In the 1920s, Maryse Topps, a female scientist at the University of London in the United Kingdom, conducted long-term and in-depth observation and research on this. She found that in every 28-day menstrual cycle of women, there are generally two peaks of sexual desire, one before menstruation, and the other two or three days before and after ovulation. The two peaks are generally 14 days apart, and each lasts about 3 days. The strength of sexual desire in these two periods may be slightly different due to factors such as lust and fatigue.

Although domestic scholars have not conducted investigations into Chinese women’s sexual desire fluctuations during the menstrual cycle, they also believe that women may indeed have such cycles. For example, the peak of sexual desire during ovulation may be related to the instinct that is conducive to fertility; the peak of sexual desire before menstruation may be related to the desire to ensure the safety of sexual life.

Some people believe that this change in women’s sexual desire is related to the regular secretion of estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle. That is, as the follicles mature, estrogen secretion continues to increase and peaks before ovulation, thus inducing a peak in sexual desire. However, some people believe that in the process of biological evolution, the more advanced the development, the weaker the impact of sex hormones on sexual behavior.

However, there is a consensus in the scientific community that women’s sexual desire fluctuates and is affected by multiple factors, such as physiology, psychology, emotions, environment, partners, etc. Therefore, Yang Dazhong said that in real life, the above two peaks of sexual desire are not universally applicable. Some women are exceptions. Their sexual desire is stronger during menstruation.
