Contrary to widespread impression, women do not appear to have become sluttier in terms of number of sex partners. | |||
There was a sharp rise in the number of sex partners between the 1920 and 1950-born cohorts, but then it remained stable. | |||
More recently, there is rather a trend toward more sexlessness in [[#Other_countries|many developed countries]]. | |||
Nonetheless, 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.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_get_2-3_times_as_many_casual_sexual_relationships_from_Tinder_than_men</ref> | |||
A minority of men also has plenty 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 overall less sex, a minority may have 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.''
