The research, conducted by Kindara, asked 500 women who use the fertility awareness app a series of questions regarding the female libido.
The study wanted to explore common stereotypes such as what factors impede women's sex drive and how important an emotional connection with a partner is.

Over half of respondent said they do not have sex as frequently as they desire.
Almost 75 per cent of women want to do the deed more than three times a week and an energetic 13 per cent crave it more than six times over seven days.
When it comes to performance, nearly three quarters of women say they orgasm during every sexual encounter and 'many' do multiple times.
Just more than half of the women quizzed by Kindara said that emotional connection is key to having 'good' sex, while 23 per cent disagreed and said foreplay is more important.
However there is one factor that puts a stop to bedroom action - feeling stressed.
The female libido is also affected if women feel out of sync with a partner (28 per cent), are not in the mood (20 per cent) or struggle with their self image (20 per cent).
The results seems to suggest the stereotype of women craving sex less than men is false.
A 2011 study from the University of Michigan found that women enjoy casual sex as much as men — so long as their partner is good in bed.
'I think a lot of my work is just about applying common sense,' Terri Conley, a University of Michigan assistant professor of psychology, said about the research.
'Are we really going to believe women do not like sex as much as men?'
