In 2018, [[feminism|feminist]] magazine Babe.net celebrated the finding that younger women are now cheating more than men with their article, "Women hate monogamy even more than men do, vindicating empowered hoes everywhere."<ref>https://babe.net/2018/09/20/women-hate-monogamy-even-more-than-men-do-vindicating-empowered-hoes-everywhere-79623</ref> | |||
Even though it is true that female infidelity is on the rise,<ref>http://www.fincham.info/papers/2017-infidelity.pdf</ref> data from 2010-2016 actually indicate the rate of infidelity is actually roughly the same for young men and women (10% in men versus 11% in women),<ref>https://ifstudies.org/blog/number-1-in-2018-who-cheats-more-the-demographics-of-infidelity-in-america</ref> with the gap widening with age and men generally being more infidel (though women lie more often than men about their infidelity, which means that this gap is probably smaller than what it seems). The gap is, however, nowhere near the figure of 50% of women cheating cited by Babe.net. | |||
The Babe.net article also notes that women get bored sexually quicker than men (which is true<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_rapidly_lose_interest_in_sex_once_in_a_stable_relationship_or_living_with_a_man</ref>) and that this is evidence of a promiscuous female nature (likely false, see also the [[promiscuity]] article). | |||
It is a feature of most monogamous species, which humans are an instance of, that the pair in the initial stages of their relationship will participate in an exhaustive amount of sex. | |||
After this burst of sexual activity, once the pair bond is established, the amount of sex declines to leave more time for the rearing of children, and also eventually seek sexual variety to increase the genetic variation of the offspring (what is known as [[coolidge effect]]). | |||
For example, the prairie vole (which mates monogamously for life, though with some infidelity) will find a suitable mate and engage in a 36-hour fuck-athon which will produce copious amounts of oxytocin to ensure the female bonds to the male. | For example, the prairie vole (which mates monogamously for life, though with some infidelity) will find a suitable mate and engage in a 36-hour fuck-athon which will produce copious amounts of oxytocin to ensure the female bonds to the male. | ||
