Men say they are as romantic as women but expect to sleep with more partners, according to the biggest online survey of sexual attitudes and gender differences. The results of a survey of 250,000 men and women who completed a detailed psychological questionnaire reveal that many male and female stereotypes are deep-seated and biological.
Men tend to have bigger sex drives than women and are more “sexually optimistic.” When men were asked how many partners they expect to have over the next five years they averaged 3.4 compared to the female average of 1.9.
A subset of the overall survey also found that money can buy you love sex—but apparently only if you’re male:
As their incomes rise, both men and women are more likely to have a higher sex drive, according to a study of almost 30,000 people from 170 countries. Only among men, however, does this translate into more frequent sex: male high earners have sex significantly more often than those on lower salaries, but income makes little or no difference for women.
I’m struggling to reach a conclusion here that won’t offend everyone. And failing.
