* 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. | ||
* 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. | * Different from men, women have a very [[sex drive|passive sexuality]].

# 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. | |||
# Another explanation may be that the higher choosiness in women simply makes them more aware of flaws such that they simply become dissatisfied sooner, which become especially salient with deep intimacy resulting from cohabitation. | |||
# Women may be somewhat adapted to other harem wives being around, often living in a separate accommodation, so the mere cohabitation with their husband may be an [[evolutionary mismatch]]. | |||
# Dissatisfaction, boredom and fickleness are [[neoteny|neotenous]] traits which men select for. | |||
# Men have a greater incentive to keep a sexual monopoly over their female partner for [[paternity assurance]]. | |||
# Women have lower levels of testosterone, meaning they pursue any status-motivated goal less, which includes getting sex. Being less driven, and having a lower activity level, women may experience a hedonic adaptation (hedonic treadmill) sooner. | |||
# 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).
