# 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. | ||
# | # This phenomenon might be an instance of the [[Promiscuity|coolidge effect]] for women, which is the effect that animals prefer sexual variety in order to get genetically diverse offspring. Men have nothing to lose copulating with the same partner, as they can still impregnate other women through extramarital sex simultaneously and not invest into the offspring much. Women, on the other hand, have greater parental investment, so they only benefit from greater sexual variety, if access to resources is secured. As infidelity is a risk getting dumped, they need a new partner who both invests and provides a different set of genes. | ||
# Women have more parental investment, but getting pregnant repeatedly would mean they have less time and energy to invest in the offspring. | # Relatedly, women have higher aversion to incest (Kresanov, 2018), which can also be explained by [[Bateman's principle]] and the very low genetic diversity in case of incest (inbreeding). Contemporary close dyadic cohabitation in marriages may be somewhat of an evolutionary mismatch provided the male and female domains used to be much more separated. Hence, women might increasingly perceive their husband as a family member during cohabitation, result in them to develop a sexual aversion that originally evolved to decrease chances of incestuous impregnation. | ||
# Women have more parental investment, but getting pregnant repeatedly would mean they have less time and energy to invest in the offspring which could explain their reduced sex drive. | |||
# 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]].
