bobsmith76 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 regarding the academic studies it's call the clark-hatfield sex proposal. Gender Differences and Casual Sex: The New Research « First of all, the backdrop of the whole study is another famous psychology paper, Clark and Hatfield’s 1989 paper, Gender Differences in Receptivity to Sexual Offers, Journal of Psychology and Human Sexuality, 2, 39-55. That paper studied receptivity to one, really specific and unusual, sexual offer: a stranger walks up to the subject, on a college campus, and propositions sex. All the women declined while a lot of men accepted, and this is a replicable result. Conley calls that scenario the CHSP, for Clark-Hatfield Sexual Proposal.
AlexCross Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I am wondering what percentage of the male population sleeps around* regardless of relationship status, would sleep around if they could (had the ability or the go-ahead from their partner), would sleep around if single, and wouldn't sleep around while single (or in a relationship.) I have a perception that if given the option, the majority of men would sleep around, or they would sleep around while single. How many men would choose NOT to sleep around while single, and if so, why? (Let's add that in this magical hypothetical, you would never get STDs or get a girl pregnant.) *I will define "sleeping around" as: sex outside of a committed monogamous relationship. Could be with one partner at a time or multiple partners during the same time period. Don't you think demographics matter ? The male population where ?
ASG Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I think within the people that I interact with (and that includes several social circles), about 30% of the guys cheat or would cheat and about 80% (which includes the cheating types) sleep around or would, if given the chance. So that's about 50% that would sleep around if they were single, but not while in a relationship. And about 20% that are relationship types and wouldn't want to have casual sex at all.
pie2 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Me, I wouldn't. Casual sex means nothing to me. It's like a hole in one during a practise round. Pointless, worthless, just every day, run of the mill, medoicrity. Just another brick in the wall. Not even a cheap thrill. These threads can be refreshing
