In a famous psychology experiment, research assistants approached college students of the other sex on campus and propositioned them for sex. While the vast majority of men agreed, not a single woman did. Many have interpreted these results as meaning that women don’t want or don’t like casual sex; however, that’s the wrong interpretation. Dr. Terri Conley conducted a series of follow-up studies and found that, when approached by a male stranger for sex in the middle of the day, women tend to see him as not being very sexually capable—they view him as being in it only for his own enjoyment. Anticipated pleasure plays a big role in women’s willingness to have casual sex. Indeed, Conley found that women are far more likely to agree to a request for casual sex when they believe their partner is sexually skilled and invested in their pleasure. #sexed #sexeducation #pleasure #sexandpsychology #casualsex #themoreyouknow #letstalkaboutsex #gender #sexresearch #sexscience Data source: Conley, T.
