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

Paradoxically, women's seemingly inferior ability for long-term pair bonding compared to men, contradicts women's otherwise more [[life history|k-selected]] sexual nature. In particular, women are more choosy in mate choice and [[sex drive|wait longer]] before engaging in sex which is indicative of high parental investment and may be explained by women's higher [[Bateman's principle|parental investment]] and [[Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_were_historically_predominantly_involved_in_cooking_and_they_never_dominated_men|resource dependence]]. However, losing sexual interest in their current mate more quickly is indicative of low long-term parental investment, i.e. more r-selected behavior that would be more adaptive in mild ecologies like the tropicals, and women's desire to liberate themselves from their partner is incompatible with the demands of modern civilization. A number of potential explanations could be provided for women's faster decline in sexual interest: | Paradoxically, women's seemingly inferior ability for long-term pair bonding compared to men, contradicts women's otherwise more [[life history|k-selected]] sexual nature.

# 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. | |||

# ''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. | ||
