Contrary to people's impression, women do not appear to have more sex | Contrary to people's impression, women do not appear to have more sex. In [[#Germany|Germany]], [[#France|France]], the U.S., sexlessness has decreased for women as well, likely due to weaker monogamy norms, later marriage, feminism shifting women's focus from reproduction to work. | ||
For the U.S., there are studies indicating a shift from an average of 2 lifetime sexual partners for women and 6 for men in 1970<ref>http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/pages/faculty/welliott/Sexrevns.htm</ref> to about 4 partners for women and 6 for men in 2006,<ref>http://www.iub.edu/~kinsey/resources/FAQ.html#number</ref> but one study reports medians and the other means, and this change can potentially explained by women lying less about their number of partners. | |||
But a minority of women (e.g. around 21.9% of female Tinder users) does seem to have ''lots of sex'' and can get it substantially more easily than men. Additionally, there seems to be a small sex elite of men who have also a substantial amount of sex, perhaps more than ever before.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#The_top_5-20.25_of_men_.28ie._.22Chads.22.29_are_now_having_more_sex_than_ever_before</ref> | |||
So, even though people have on average less sex, a sex elite has more. | |||
The impression of increased sluttiness may also come from the rise of self-sexualization (e.g. in online media, but also in the public) which appears to be driven by female intra-sexual competition in [[hypergamy]] and economic uncertainty/inequality, i.e. women self-sexualizing themselves to get attention from the more and more rare economically advantaged men.<ref>Blake KR, Bastian B, Denson TF, Grosjean P and Brooks RC. 2018. ''Income inequality not gender inequality positively covaries with female sexualization on social media.'' [[http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2018/08/20/1717959115 Abstract]]</ref> | |||
Girls also seem to be less well behaved,<ref>Dytham S. 2018. ''The role of popular girls in bullying and intimidating boys and other popular girls in secondary school.'' [[https://doi.org/10.1002/berj.3324 Abstract]]</ref> possibly as a consequence of feminism, which may also drive the impressions of intensified sluttiness. | |||
