According to this meta-analysis, gender differences in sexuality have shrunk over the past 20 years. Here are some of their results. A positive statistic indicates a male advantage:
Gender differences--Cohen's d
Heterosexual intercourse frequency .16
Number of sex partners .36
Age at first intercourse .20
Oral sex .06
Anal sex .09
Extramarital sex .33
Masturbation .53
Pornography use .63
Attitude toward premarital sex .17
Attitude toward extramarital sex .01
Attitude toward masturbation .02
Feelings of guilt -.19
Sexual satisfaction .17
Attitude toward homosexuality -.18
Same-sex sexuality -.05
Except for masturbation and pornography use, the differences now appear to be fairly small or even non-existent in some areas. Findings suggest that gender differences in sexuality can be shaped substantially by environmental factors. Women can be influenced to be more or less like men.

Hello to you all! I'm exited to have joined this forum and am looking forward to contributing.
ReplyDeleteMy interests are wide and varied but I guess my real passion is for music. I love a wide variety such as
Faithless, The Smiths, Enigma, The Cure & The Mission.
I'm always looking for new places to download new music and the best place I have come across is
[url=http://www.iomoio.com/index.php?pid=3140]Iomoio[/url]. Their music is only 15 cents a track so you can save a real fortune. And it's legal!
Anyway, looking to make more posts soon.....
I would say number of partners and extramarital sex may be important. Your value of Cohen's implies that that a randomly chosen dude will have a higher score than a randomly chosen chick over 60% of the time.
ReplyDeleteThe most preserved items relate to the greater male sex drive.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the other things are attitudes, which are likely more malleable. If something isn't considered deviant, women won't shy away from it as much.
