Not Having Sex So Shameful That Men Would Rather Admit To Being Poets

“[R]esearchers from Ohio State University found that men were willing to admit that they sometimes engaged in behaviors seen by college students as more appropriate for women, such as writing poetry. The same was true for women, who didn’t hide the fact that they told obscene jokes, or sometimes participated in other ‘male-type’ deeds. The story changes when it comes to sex as men wanted to be seen as ‘real men:’ the kind who had many partners and a lot of sexual experience. Women, on the other hand, wanted to be seen as having less sexual experience than they actually had, to match what is expected of women.”
