Why Women Won't Hop Into Bed With Just Anyone, Unlike Men
Science, answer this age-old mystery for me: Why are women less likely than men to have casual sex with a stranger?
The playing field isn’t level.
Men, after all, can almost be guaranteed a pleasurable sexual encounter if they’re with someone they find attractive. But Conley points to new, yet-to-be published research by sociologist Elizabeth Armstrong which finds “women orgasm only 35 percent as often as men in first-time sexual encounters.”
“Women’s perception that their heterosexual casual sex partners will be unlikely to give them pleasure is not unwarranted,” Conley states.
The good news for dudes is that if women are somehow assured that the guy they’re hooking up with can do sex to them in the right, orgasm-giving, way, they are pretty much as slutty as men are. So, fellas, if you want to do sex to a lady you have two strategies. One: be a lady. “This lack of confidence in men as pleasure-givers was indirectly supported by another of Conley’s experiments, which focused on bisexual women. They were ‘significantly more likely to accept an offer (of a one-night stand) from a woman than from a man,’ she reports.” If that’s not an option — and let’s face it, it’s not — let me suggest that you mention as frequently as possible that you are a blogger for a general interest website that specializes in bear videos and stories about knife crime: Every woman knows that those guys are HURRICANES AT THE SEX-DOING. It’s Science!
