Universal Sex Differences in the Desire for Sexual Variety: Tests From 52 Nations, 6 Continents, and 13 Islands.
"This study provides the largest and most comprehensive test yet conducted on whether the sexes differ in the desire for sexual variety. The results are strong and conclusive—the sexes differ, and these differences appear to be universal. Men not only possess a greater desire than women do for a variety of sexual partners, men also require less time to elapse than women do before consenting to sexual intercourse, and men tend to more actively seek short-term mateships than women do. These sex differences are cross-culturally robust and statistically significant regardless of whether mean, median, distributional, or categorical indexes of sexual differentiation are evaluated. These sex differences are robust and significant regardless of the measures used to evaluate them."
Sexual Economics: Sex as Female Resource for Social Exchange in Heterosexual Interactions.
A heterosexual community can be analyzed as a marketplace in which men seek to acquire sex from women by offering other resources in exchange. Societies will therefore define gender roles as if women are sellers and men buyers of sex. Societies will endow female sexuality, but not male sexuality, with value (as in virginity, fidelity, chastity). The sexual activities of different couples are loosely interrelated by a marketplace, instead of being fully separate or private, and each couple's decisions may be influenced by market conditions. Economic principles suggest that the price of sex will depend on supply and demand, competition among sellers, variations in product, collusion among sellers, and other factors. Research findings show gender asymmetries (reflecting the complementary economic roles) in prostitution, courtship, infidelity and divorce, female competition, the sexual revolution and changing norms, unequal status between partners, cultural suppression of female sexuality, abusive relationships, rape, and sexual attitudes. Sexual activity is often regarded as among the most private of activities, negotiated by two individuals on the basis of their own individual desires and values. Idealistic treatments describe the two individuals as potentially equal and interchangeable. In this manuscript, we place sexual negotiations in the context of a cultural system in which men and women play different roles resembling buyer and seller — in a marketplace that is ineluctably affected by the exchanges between other buyers and sellers.
Gender Differences in Erotic Plasticity: The Female Sex Drive as Socially Flexible and Responsive.
Responding to controversies about the balance between nature and culture in determining human sexuality, the author proposes that the female sex drive is more malleable than the male in response to sociocultural and situational factors. A large assortment of evidence supports 3 predictions based on the hypothesis of female erotic plasticity: (a) Individual women will exhibit more variation across time than men in sexual behavior, (b) female sexuality will exhibit larger effects than male in response to most specific sociocultural variables, and (c) sexual attitude-behavior consistency will be lower for women than men.
Elina Haavio-Mannila, J.P. Roos, Anna Rotkirch: Do rich men have most sex? Gender, capital and sexual activity in four countries
Do rich men have more, or even most, sex? On the basis of this analysis, the answer is a clear ‘yes’. Also in contemporary Northern European societies, sexual success correlates well with male economic and social power.

Mielenkiintoinen tutkimus, vaikka tietysti turha. Olisivat kysyneet minulta. Olin viisi vuotta baarimikkona Helsinkiläöisissä yökerhoissa ja voin sanoa nähneeni ja kuulleeni yhtä ja toista.
Ehkä karsein tapaus oli se kun kaksi naista sopi keskenään avioeron järjestämisestä toiselle. Toinen kertoi pihtaavansa eri tekostyillä pari viikkoa ja sitten järjestettiin tuo toinen nainen sopivasti saman paikkaan miehen kanssa, taisi olla laivamatka Ruotsiin. Mies meni lankaan ja sitten "petetty" sai kuulla "eräiden ystävien" nähneen miehen vieneen vieraan naisen hyttiinsä. Avioero seurasi melko pian, nainen sai komean asunnon ja Volvon, miehelle jäikesämökki ja vene.
Naiset tapasivat tiheään toisiaan baarissani ja he puhuivat kaiken siinä tuiskillä istuen, ei minun tarvinnut salakuunnella. Siinä naurettiin monet naurut tuolle "ressukalle". Minä tietysti pysyin pokkana enkä kerro heidän nimiään vaikka se oikein olisikin.
Minun tiskilläni istui myös telaketjufemakkoja, jotka haukkuivat miehiä suu vaahdossa, mutta ottivat silti vastaan ilmaiset, kalliit drinkit. Näin se menee.

Ihminen on kehittynyt apinasta, mutta ei kovin paljoa kuitenkaan. Eläimiä olemme kaikki, se näkyy myös käytöksestä, vaikka ei millään muotoa tietoinen valinta olisikaan. Turhanpäiväinen harhaluulo että ihmiset muka olisivat jotenkin "nousseet muiden eläimien yläpuolelle". Kyllä, olemme erinlaisia eläimiä, mutta samat seksuaaliset vietit ajavat toimintaamme eteenpäin monella tapaa, tietoiset minämme vain koittavat joskus kontrolloida tätä, menestys tässä vain vaihtelee.
