Women's Sexual Behaviors May Be Closer To Men's Than Previously Thought

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A new study suggests that men and women might not be as far apart in sexual behaviors as previous research has shown.

NaNIn many surveys, men typically report engaging in sex at earlier age, more often, and with more sexual partners than do women. However, a new study shows that some reported gender differences might show up because women don't always answer surveys honestly, but give answers they believe are expected of them.

"Women are sensitive to social expectations for their sexual behavior and may be less than totally honest when asked about their behavior in some survey conditions," said Terri Fisher, co-author of the study and associate professor of psychology at Ohio State University's Mansfield campus.

In this study, the researchers asked men and women about their sexual attitudes and behaviors under several different testing conditions -- including one in which the participants believed they were connected to a lie detector machine.

:eyes:

Don't get me started.

we still studying that?

hehe, someone had to do it.

"People lie on surveys? Who knew?"

They scratch their balls while they watch TV?

But...but...but...

I play with my weenie.

:rofl:

while watching TV. :rofl:

He says men adjust their balls and women do the bra thing (I guess he's been watching, ya think?). But he says he sees women do it in the office (I guess when they think nobody is looking, but guess who is?).

Makes me laugh.

That's how come women are less than honest about their sexual behavior. Women are expected to be more modest than men or else be labeled 'sluts' or worse if they were to admit to behaving like men in the bedroom.

Fucking asshats.

C'mon guys, how many times did you brag about sex you never actually had? Of course, I never did that. :evilgrin:

When I was a teen, I had sex with Raquel Welch, Ann-Margaret, Barbara Eden, Elizabeth Montgomery, and every model in the Sears Lingerie catalog.

Oh, yeah - and Maureen McCormick (Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!).

BTW, it was Stevie Nicks for me.

while women are more careful when selecting men. I think there is some truth to this stereotype. Let us all keep in mind that this is just one study. Most studies I have come across tend to suggest that there are gender differences when it comes to sexual behavior.

It always seemed strange to me that there were so many more men reporting affairs and early sex than women... the only other explanation is that a few women are having even MORE sex than men, and most women are having less... hence the madonna/whore categories.

men lie about having more than they actually do and women lie about having less than they actually do.
