Recently someone made the comment, "... it is simply a physical fact that women
reach their sexual peak at a much higher age than men."  I have heard this a few
times before.  Someone even "knew" that the "sexual peak" for a male occurred
at 19 and for females it was 29.  No one, however, seems to know where this
"fact" comes from or exactly what "sexual peak" means.  Does anyone out there
have a source for this, maybe an article in a medical journal or psychology
journal?  I'd be interested in something a little more authoritative than
Cosmopolitan or Penthouse.  Hopefully it would say what was measured, (sexual
drive, "performance", hormone levels, frequency, etc.) and how it was measured.
