→Women rapidly lose interest in sex once in a stable relationship or living with a man

* Women's sexuality may be stuck in a more r-selected past because they have been subject to less selective pressure, having had a higher [[reproductive success]] throughout human history. | * Women's sexuality may be stuck in a more r-selected past because they have been subject to less selective pressure, having had a higher [[reproductive success]] throughout human history. | ||
* Women do not need to compete in order to attract a new mate | * Different from men, women have a very [[sex drive|passive sexuality]]. Women do not need to compete with costly resource accrual or physical intimidation in order to attract a new mate, but only compete in comparably petty dimensions such as beauty and reputation. As a result, mate switching is associated with considerably lower cost for them compared to men, which might make it worth while to try to get a better man after a while, especially as a good [[betabux|beta provider]] may even invest in her prior offspring. This kind of [[sexual conflict]] is also discussed on the [[slut]] article. Corroborating this, women have typically more sexual opportunities than men as men have a more active sexuality, e.g. in online dating they receive around 8 times as many messages, making their cost to switch even lower. | ||
* Women desire testing other men for being potentially more dominant than their current partner so as to be always attached to the most dominant man at all times ([[bodyguard hypothesis]]. | * Women desire testing other men for being potentially more dominant than their current partner so as to be always attached to the most dominant man at all times ([[bodyguard hypothesis]]. | ||
* ''Mate switching hypothesis'' by Buss (2017), i.e. that switching is facilitated by a number of behavioral adaptations that allow women to leave poor relationships and get access to potentially better partners, implement exit strategies, and manage challenges confronted in the aftermath. | * ''Mate switching hypothesis'' by Buss (2017), i.e. that switching is facilitated by a number of behavioral adaptations that allow women to leave poor relationships and get access to potentially better partners, implement exit strategies, and manage challenges confronted in the aftermath. | ||

* Some argued women's sexual competition primarily lies in competing by arousing men's attention. Once their partner of interest is on the verge of showing disinterest, women become [https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/evolution-the-self/201109/fear-inspired-sex-womans-ultimate-defense-or-weapon anxious and will readily offer sex] to secure his [[Hypergamy|resource investment]] and [[Bodyguard hypothesis|protection]]. Some argued, women do this as disinterest on part of the male is a costly signal of having alternative options and this observation lead to the invention of the "dread game" in [[redpill]] circles, meaning the deliberate display of disinterest to provoke women's offer of sex. In a long-term bond, women's gain certainty to have secured her husbands resources, so they see less need for rewarding her partner with sex. | |||
* Just as men, women's testosterone levels drop in a long-term relationship, meaning their competitiveness decreases too, which may mean their competition in baiting men with sex, including their husband, decreases too. | |||
The results of this study have since been replicated by two longitudinal studies performed by McNulty et.al (2019). They found that controlling for the effects of childbirth, post-natal depression and stress, the length of the marriage was still a predictor of lower female [[libido]], but not male libido, which remained constant. | The results of this study have since been replicated by two longitudinal studies performed by McNulty et.al (2019).
