=== Female erotic plasticity ===
==Blackpill conflict==
Although a lot of his observations are cited in the [[blackpill]] philosophy, contrary to a founding principle of [[blackpill|blackpill]] philosophy, Roy acknowledges female sexual ''desire'' (rather than just behaviour) as malleable by society in short time-frames.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10825779</ref>  Contrary to further additions to blackpill philosophy, he also suggests that men's sexuality is more superficial and physically oriented than women.  He believes female sex-drive is more malleable by society than male sexuality, what he dubs a 'high erotic plasticity'.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10825779/</ref>  And he suggests that the malleability makes women suited for cultural progress as it relates to sexuality, rather than degeneration-due-to-lookist-inflexibility as the [[blackpill]] states.


He further suspects women's sexuality is less physical and more malleable with respect to social norms.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10825779</ref>
{{Quote|"Men's sexuality revolves around ''physical'' factors, in which nature is predominant and the social and cultural dimension is secondary. For women, cultural factors play a much greater role, and the role of physical processes and biological nature is smaller"}}
These views are much more aligned with mainstream [[bluepill]]ed literature than Baumeister's other research on sexuality.
{{Quote|"The plasticity of the female sex ''drive'' [note: not just behaviour] offers greater capacity to adapt to changing external circumstances as well as an opportunity for culture to exert a controlling influence. From the global perspective of the broader society, if controlling people's behavior is the goal, women's sexual patterns are more easily changed than men's."}}

{{Quote|"If the sex drive is socioculturally malleable, then there exist ''many possible directions'' in which to pursue social progress and individual fulfillment. [in contrast to the blackpill which suggests either reaction or fatalism] In contrast, if the sex drive is fixed and static, then society must ultimately accommodate and confront those patterns, and individual choice will be a matter of pursuing those innate, inflexible desires.

In contrast, if the sex drive is fixed and static, then society must ultimately accommodate and confront those patterns, and individual choice will be a matter of pursuing those innate, inflexible desires. The gender difference in erotic plasticity suggests that women present a better prospect for achieving cultural progress than men, at least with regard to sexuality."</p>}}

Baumeister offered three possible explanations:<ref>https://blog.kareldonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Gender_and_Erotic_Plasticity__Sociocultural_Influences_on_the_Sex_Drive.pdf</ref>
Roy offered a few possible explanations
 
*Women have had to change their minds about sexual opportunities more than men because of being [[sexual selector]]s for millions of years,<ref>Baumeister referencing Buss &
* The gender difference in physical strength and power may have selected female sexuality to be flexible so as to accommodate to the men, leading to a more [[sex drive#Female_passivity|passive]] and malleable sexuality and more conformity.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#90.25_of_victims_of_workplace_mass_hysteria_are_women</ref> In fact, historically and across cultures, men tightly constrained women's reproductive behavior for the purpose of [[paternity assurance]].
Schmitt, 1993</ref> making their inherent sexuality more flexible to environment
* A weaker sex drive may imply a greater plasticity, whereas strong and powerful drives are less prone to socializing and civilizing influences.
*Women's weaker sex drive makes it more prone to being malleable
* Over the course of [[courtship]] women spontaneously switch from a coy deferral of sex to admitting of it. This may require a general readiness to change, which could have led to greater plasticity.
*Evidence from academic research on molestation suggests childhood 'imprints' male sexuality whereas it does not for females
 
This line of research can either be seen to be in agreement with the traditionalist [[blackpill]] in that it points to women's [[hypergamy|hypergamous]] sexuality being controllable by social norms, or it can point to alternative directions which constrain individual fulfillment less as many possible directions are conceivable.
