Our meta-analysis on gender differences in sex drive found a stronger sex drive in men compared to women (Frankenbach et al., 2022). Conley and Yang (2024) criticized how we interpreted the findings and provided suggestions regarding the origins of these gender differences, an undertaking that we had refrained from doing in our original work. We concur with several important points made by Conley and Yang (2024): (a) women's sexual experiences are generally more negative than men's, which could partly explain why men report more sex drive; (b) lack of statistical moderation by some sociocultural variables does not imply that the sex drives of men and women are generally unaffected by the social environment; and (c) gender differences in sexuality are likely smaller than they are often portrayed in research, and that the practical impact of this difference is largely unknown. Still, we reject other assertions made by Conley and Yang (2024): (a) we did not frame our findings in support of the view that gender differences in sex drive are determined by biology, (b) we did not conflate response bias with sociocultural biases more broadly, and (c) we did not fail to incorporate and consider gendered cultural messages about sexuality in our methods and discussion. We make several suggestions about future research on these matters. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

性欲方面的性别差异：回复康利和杨（2024）。


我们对性欲性别差异的荟萃分析发现，与女性相比，男性的性欲更强（Frankenbach et al., 2022）。 Conley 和 Yang（2024）批评了我们对研究结果的解释，并就这些性别差异的起源提供了建议，而我们在最初的工作中没有这样做。我们同意 Conley 和 Yang（2024）提出的几个重要观点：（a）女性的性经历通常比男性更消极，这可以部分解释为什么男性报告的性欲更强； (b) 一些社会文化变量缺乏统计调节并不意味着男性和女性的性冲动一般不受社会环境的影响； (c) 性方面的性别差异可能比研究中经常描述的要小，而且这种差异的实际影响在很大程度上尚不清楚。尽管如此，我们拒绝 Conley 和 Yang（2024）提出的其他断言：（a）我们没有将我们的发现用于支持性欲的性别差异是由生物学决定的观点，（b）我们没有将反应偏见与更广泛的社会文化偏见，以及（c）我们在我们的方法和讨论中确实纳入并考虑了有关性的性别文化信息。我们对这些问题的未来研究提出了一些建议。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
