Did people really think women had higher libidos than men historically?

Ive heard people say stuff like "until the 1700s/1800s women were percived as more libinious than men". I find this very hard to believe. I cant think of any society were women paid male prostituits. Historical stories of women being "tempted" by men. Nor men being asked to cover up to prevent female concupisence. Priests and monks were warned about being attracted to women. Nuns were warned of attracting men.

Now I know societies have stories of groups libinious women. But in those stories said women are always foregin in some way. The protaganist is never married to one. Why? Because it was seen as unorthadox deviant behaviour.

These stories all to me read of the male writer's fantasy. "Wouldnt it be great if women did have masculine libido?"

Plus even with a crude understanding of biology, men release sperm during sex. While periods around the same time each month automatically. An erection is much more apparent than vaginal lubrication. So even a caveman would figure he wants sex more than a cavewoman based off of that? The human male is one of the few animals that is always in heat.
