Women Are No Longer Interested In Sex
Author Jilly Cooper said that sex is more of a challenge to market in women’s fiction. She said the reason is that “women don’t want to have sex any more.”
She said women have lower libidos because of all of he demands on them. Here is the link: Link
Do you think women are losing their interest in sex?

nope.
I think women are more interested in having sex themselves than in reading about somebody else having it.
No
I’m certainly not!
I love sex
Or maybe people are just tired of reading her shit? I dunno.

Uhh, no.
no
I have never heard the term ‘Bonkbuster’ before. That makes me chuckle. I say go women, get yourself some. As Rachel once said, “There’s nothing wrong with a woman enjoying a little…erotica.”
At her age I am sure they might be…at my age hell no!….
Maybe it’s because they are able to fulfill their fantasies in real life more these days, instead of through those ridiculous romance novels.
… Yes they’re tired of reading their romance novels with the tall, dark, and handsome horse groomer who sweeps her off her feet, cooks her breakfast every morning, and never smells after a hard day of work. Then they put the book down and there’s Al Bundy across the room with his hand down his pants, or his finger up his nose, his pot belly all hanging out of his pants, his stinky feet smell drifting across the room…. No wonder.
WOMEN! Stop selling yourself lies! Men stink, they get fat with age, they gray, they bald, GET OVER IT! Love them for it! You expect them to love you when you’re boobs are hanging down to your knees and those crows feet are deeper than the Grand Canyon, and you’ve got road map stretch marks.
Maybe she’s just a bad writer. As for the question nope!!
I think what she really means is that unhappy people tend to have lower sex drives.
learn to be happy and have more sex. the end.
p.s. – i love sex
Nope.
Wait, so some old lady decided she can speak for all women? There’s your first problem.
Ha.
No, I just think the age of women whom these books are targeted at is a more independent group of women, who would rather dabble in realities than nonsense fictional erotica.
IMO, that is ridiculous. But she is entitled to her opinion. Maybe she misses her libido. LOL
I want to see her data matrix and the stats she ran to make that determination.
This is just another lie from a Feminazi.
I’m still pretty interested in sex…
FIFTYSHADESOFGREY.
TELL ME WOMEN ARE LOSING THEIR LIBIDO.
I don’t care to read an erotica written by a female. I prefer to listen to a guy with a sexy voice narrate an erotica. I was listening to this guy with an australian accent read his erotic story and his story sucked, but his voice is too hot and makes me tingly, so I kept listening. his laugh and breathing into the mic is so sexy
he has to work on his story telling but who really cares.
@QuantumStorm - ha ha, I was just thinking: that sounds like something a bad woman’s writer might say! LOL
yes.
I hope not.
why else would I be celibate not by choice?
there is a movie. i think an indie movie about teenage girls exploring their sexuality. female version of superbad called turn me on, dammit. i haven’t seen it though.
i don’t think it’s women not interested in sex is just not as talked about as men interested in sex
No, no and NO!
Kathi
What! nonsense. lol
I think maybe it’s the birth control they take.
no. women have so much sit to do that at the end of the day, food, a warm bath and bed is all that is on their minds. sex is fun but, guys take the fun out of it. whatever happened to taking your partner, throwing them on the bed and telling them how beautiful they are, or for kinky people how much the thought of them screaming while you tie them up turns you on?
Yeah. I’m not interested in sex with @amateurprose AT ALL.
definitely not me
It’s probably just ’cause I haven’t broken out the old man-kini in such a long time.
I’m thinking they just don’t like her books…
Statistics show married people have better sex… I seriously think a decrease in marriage/commitment/emotional intimacy nowadays is hindering healthy sex for some people, but then I am old-fashioned, a Christian, and thus very pro-marriage, so I’m biased there.
Maybe the problems of poor health and obesity, as well as all the junk people consume in processed, hormone-injected, and genetically-modified foods contributes to lower sex drives.
Whatever it is, this author shouldn’t assume that because women don’t read those types of books they don’t enjoy or have sex. I choose not to read those kinds of books because I feel they’re a waste of time and create unrealistic expectations, NOT because of a lack of interest in my husband.
@QuantumStorm - lololololol
Well. That’s an interesting assumption.
Where the hell did she get that idea from? I certainly haven’t lost an interest in sex.
What? totally crazy…. her opinion though and she is entitled to it…. i am totally interested in sex… i love it actually!!
@thesexydevilgirl - tell me more! ah I love the way you think girl. my thoughts exactly.
that would be a negative
If they are bored with regular sex they should try some fetish stuff with me. If you are rom central PA and wanna try some balloon fetish stuff email me at youngbrian50@yahoo.com.
I don’t know about any other woman, but I sure as hell don’t have that problem!!!
@trunthepaige - Believe me, darlin… That couldn’t be further from the truth. Age has nothing to do with it!!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
im not lol i havent had sex in a long time but i love that fictional stuff<3
Goodness, I hope women aren’t losing interest in sex. Okay, maybe the wife & I don’t “tear it up” as much as we did in our twenties, but the drive and passion is still very much alive. We’re into our 50s now.
I was going to think about it but I’ve got a headache.
Now that’s just crazy talk.
@MommaFish89 - This says it all. You made me crack up!
I think woman aren’t interested in boring sex.
Sex is obviously just for women with a bmi below 20 (poor guys otherwise), but I don’t know how it used to be.
Most of my friends didn’t like to read like my mom and her friends did. Maybe the majority of her readers are dead and there aren’t enough younger readers to replace the old ones. Or maybe we just download copies of romance novels for free on any one of the plethora of e-readers we have for our phones.
with both men and women as you get older you think about sex but then you think ,”too much work.” back in my 30′s and 40′s I was full of energy but not anymore.
they are probably losing interest in all the bad sex
My libido is more than fine, however, erotica is typically not my preferred reading material. Even in 50 shades of grey the sex scenes got a little repetitive.
Here’s what I think is happening:
Yes, I think a lot of women (and men) are losing their sex drive. I think too much stress, poorly defined values, awful diet, and lack of exercise are to blame. Hormonal birth control also.
I also think that literotica is moving more towards porn and away from the Harlequin Romance type. Plus it’s boring and cheesy.
@mikenpeg - I agree with you. The trend seems to be towards unattached “just sex, no strings” hookups. As a libertarian, I don’t care if people choose to do that, but personally, I think it’s a poor choice, both for emotional fulfillment and, ahem, quality purposes.
If that was true, people wouldn’t be raving over 50 shades of grey.
I don’t read romance fiction, but as to the other question, speak for yourself, Dan! lol
I was never very interested on it and now I have all what sex could offer to me, my two perfect kids
yeah, i’ve lost all interest 
I thought that might happen after menopause but it kicked up a few notches for me instead. I know a lot of women who are just not interested in sex , whether it is hormonal or a side effect of meds or stress.
@mikenpeg - ROFLMAO!! ……But I’m happy for you.
False.
I so beg to differ.
No. I am not letting some random woman make generalizations for all women. There may be some women who have lost interest, but many have not.
I heard that women’s porn is basically romance novels and soap dramas.
If women are tired of sex it’s going to be a “Children of Men” movie. Us guys can’t reproduce.
No, but that’s not what got to me out of the article linked.
I’m more depressed that poorly-written books are revitalizing genres.
So we have a low libido epidemic, do we?? lol Not likely. Everyone’s libidos vary.
I have been married twice. Not much of a libido in my first marriage due to how I was treated. I have a much better libido in my second marriage because my relationship is better. The reasons for the change in me are mine and won’t define someone else. It could affect someone else entirely different.
For her to assume that lack of libido is the reason her books aren’t selling is funny. Maybe they are too busy enjoying their libido with their significant other and doing other things with their time and have no time to read so don’t bother buying the books.
All of he demands on them?
Oh, the.
Also, DUMB.
Life is short! Have more sex! I know I want to.
Did anyone ask Dr. Ruth what she thought?
No. Even at 56.
I don’t think that’s true …
@Bricker59 - Ha, be happy for my husband. He’s the lucky one here.
Just kidding. But seriously. We’ve been married 6 years and still going strong. Marriage is awesome, what else can I say?
I do not think women are no longer interested in sex, They still are active, just not interested in making love with men - just with each other… It is shame, I see it all over here… But if they are happy in same sex life partners, that is all that matters. Who am I to condemn that, as if they are happy – so be it… I just believe in the traditional…
Actually, it’s probably because women’s sexuality is encouraged now more than ever that erotica isn’t as relevant. Why read about sex when you can have it?
It’s becoming less taboo for women to act like sex is something they shouldn’t want so they don’t need escapes like literotica to get their fill. They can go out and get some.
Just read the article that this quote was taken from. The summary of it seems to be “Here’s this writer woman who thinks A, and here’s all the proof that it’s actually B.” Suffice to say, it would appear that Jilly Cooper’s ass is getting jealous of the sh1t spewing out of her mouth.
I’m pretty sure that women were never very interested in sex in the first place. In fact, I’m pretty sure we are all the products of caveman rape.
The women who are married to women are interested in sex and the women who are married to men are emphatically NOT interested in sex.
Yes, they are still interested in sex. It’s just that the older one gets, the more he/she lose interest in sex.
I see a heck of a lot of them are reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty_Shades_of_Grey
This is why women should not attain a passive role in life. It is bad for their souls and it is bad for their bodies; when you are not healthy, your libido usually decreases.
No but I think they are getting submissive as they become more powerful in the world of finance or so I have heard. Me I don’t even know what sex is anymore its been so long and I can’t have it anymore and its better for me not to even think about since I have celibate for the rest of my life. My Johnson does not work anymore thanks to my medications.
One reason I think this way is because when I was a twenty something I had a friends with benefits relationship with a beautiful who had an important job with IBM and one of her fantasies was to be forcibly controlled and raped (of course by someone like me who she trusted physically and emotionally but that was one fantasy she had to have filled by someone else because I just don’t have the controlling dominant personality that you need to be a good rapists…I am to romantic to be the dominant in a dominant/submissive relationship so I never did it to her but w did fulfill several other fantasies that both of us had but my illnesses have taken me out of the game and put me on the bench when it comes to sex in my fifties and maybe that is good thing since I allergic to penicillin and one dose of that will kill me.) Just some thoughts I thought you might be interested in.
Because of all of the demands on us? I know that when I’m stressed out, sex is a lifesaver.
I love sex. Watching, reading, writing, and especially having sex.
XDDDD Women? Not interested in sex? Not hardly. She just hasn’t met my friends
i completely disagree. maybe its their partner they are losing interest in.. not sex. Typically, once women hit their late 30′s and early 40′s, they want more sex than when they were younger.
i know i’m late on this one but….THIS IS THE BIGGEST CROCK OF SHIT EVER! i always want to sex up my husband.
Your work is totally appreciative and informative.full report
