Consistent with Butler’s performative theory, participants use the phrase to enact and critique gendered expectations. While male speakers adopt a hyper‑masculine stance, female speakers often deploy the term ironically to destabilize that stance, creating a performative feedback loop that both reproduces and destabilizes patriarchal scripts.

Not just appetite — intensity, identity, and integration
In Japanese internet slang, when someone says they have "seiyoku tsuyo tsuyo" (性欲強強), they aren't just saying they have a strong sex drive. They are doubling down: very strong, intensely strong, undeniably strong. It’s a self-aware, sometimes humorous, sometimes frustrated acknowledgment of having a libido that doesn't fit the "average" mold. seiyoku tsuyo tsuyo
But what does having a "tsuyo tsuyo" libido actually mean biologically, psychologically, and socially? Is it always a blessing? And when does it become a burden?

The phrase seiyoku tsuyo‑tsuyo (性欲 強‑強), which literally translates as “strong‑strong sexual desire,” emerged in Japanese internet slang in the early 2010s and quickly migrated into mainstream media via a viral song, meme cycles, and fan‑generated content. This paper investigates the linguistic construction, cultural resonances, and online diffusion of seiyoku tsuyo‑tsuyo through a three‑pronged methodology: (1) a corpus‑based textual analysis of lyrics, comment threads, and user‑generated videos; (2) semi‑structured interviews with Japanese netizens who actively use the term; and (3) a network‑analysis of Twitter and YouTube propagation patterns (2015‑2023). Findings reveal that the phrase functions simultaneously as (i) a performative exaggeration of masculine libido, (ii) a parodic subversion of gendered expectations, and (iii) a memetic anchor that enables rapid recombination across genres. The study contributes to scholarship on Japanese net-slang by foregrounding the interplay between erotic discourse, humor, and platform affordances, and it suggests broader implications for how digital media re‑configures the public negotiation of sexual desire in East Asian societies.
