Her Cycle, Her Sex

Every woman’s libido is different, but there are a few days each month when she’s biologically prone to crave sex!  Simply put, a woman is most passionate while she’s ovulating and immediately afterwards.  Ovulation is the time of the month when an egg arrives in the uterus to be fertilized.  At this point, she releases extra hormones that make her more in tune with her senses—especially smell and touch! Every woman has a slightly different cycle length, ranging from 20 to 60 days, although a typical cycle is about 28 days.  Generally, a woman is ovulating (and craving sex!) about 14 to 16 days before the start of her period.  Women who take hormonal birth control do not ovulate, and therefore experience fairly steady levels of desire throughout the month. It’s vital to remember that although women are hottest during ovulation; this is also when they are most fertile. (See Knocked Up for proof.) So don’t let excitement overwhelm good judgment—remember to use protection!
