Secondly, evidence directly suggests that higher phenotypical androgenicity in women is associated with greater sociosexuality in women. For instance, Clark (2004) found that women that exhibited a more male-typical cognitive profile (superior spatial rotation ability) and a lower 2D:4D ratio (a purported marker of prenatal Testosterone exposure) were more sociosexuality unrestricted.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1016/S1090-5138(03)00085-0</ref> | Secondly, evidence directly suggests that higher phenotypical androgenicity in women is associated with greater sociosexuality in women.

Other research indicates that women who engage in nonheterosexual behavior are generally more physically masculinized, more promiscuous, and higher in several fast life-history traits, with this faster life history strategy on behalf of said women | Other research indicates that women who engage in nonheterosexual behavior are generally more physically masculinized, more promiscuous, and higher in several fast life-history traits, with this faster life history strategy on behalf of said women proposed to be mediated by the actions of masculinizing alleles.<ref>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30229521/</ref> | ||
Further, a cross-cultural study by Bártová et al. (2020) found that women who exhibited a more masculine gender identity were more sociosexually unrestricted. However, the opposite effect was found for men (i.e., more feminine men were more socially unrestricted), leading the authors to speculate that androgyny, in general, may predict more sexually permissive attitudes and behaviors and not masculinity per se. | Further, a cross-cultural study by Bártová et al.
