Hot female partner means more sex for men


Shannon Proudfoot , Canwest News Service


Good news for men with very attractive partners: You're probably having more sex -- "in-pair copulation," in scientific terms -- than other guys.
But the reason, according to a new study, is that you're doing it to mark your territory and hold on to a partner who's more likely to be pursued by other men and put you at risk for being cheated on.
It may seem obvious that more attractive partners inspire more frequent sex, but Farnaz Kaighobadi, a PhD student in the evolutionary psychology lab at Florida Atlantic University, says the reasons are found in our cave-dwelling past and run much deeper than simply thinking your mate is hot.




In this context, sex is a "mate retention behaviour" designed to hold on to a partner who might otherwise stray and to increase the odds that any children born are those of the woman's mate. Other such behaviours range from kind gestures like buying small gifts or offering compliments to nasty traits like sifting through a partner's mail or threatening anyone who shows interest in them, she says.
The underlying reasons are deeply unconscious, Kaighobadi adds.
"It's not like men are sitting there and thinking, "My partner is attractive so it's likely she's going to be unfaithful, so let me have more sex with her," she says. "It could be simply, 'My partner is hot, I'm going to have more sex with her.' "
Men reported they have sex with their partners an average of 3.3 times in a typical week, she says, and they assigned them an average attractiveness rating of 7.9 on a scale of 0 to 9. With each one-point increase in attractiveness, the frequency of sex increased by 40 per cent, Kaighobadi says.
The study involved 277 heterosexual men and was co-authored by Todd Shackelford. It will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
It's not yet clear how this dynamic plays out in same-sex couples, Kaighobadi says.
WOMEN BETTER FLIRTS
Men and women are equally inclined to try to use their looks and subtle flirtation to get a favour out of the opposite sex, but evolutionary imprints explain why women succeed much more often, a new study reveals.
Men have evolved to place more importance on appearance in a bid to find a healthy and fertile mate, making them more susceptible to flirtatious, attractive women looking for help, says Alastair Davies, a PhD student in the evolutionary psychology lab at Florida Atlantic University. Women, on the other hand, have evolved to hone in on the signs of someone with ambition and resources, he says.
The study involved about 100 men and 100 women and will be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Personality and Individual Differences.

LOL you are as easy as Pube FAGGOT!


FAGGOT! Nothing, Nothing you could say could possibly ever be relevant to any real life experience of mine. If my life to this point has been complete misery and I die tomorrow, and you live to be 200, your life and all it's experiences will never be half as good as mine, because you are a lying, hateful, spiteful, little domestic violence homo bitch.

Have a nice day.

Fucking old man you aint getting laid by your saggy ass nasty bitch wife who hates sex and always says she has a head ache I bet, hahahaha fucker.

If you think sex is the only reason people get married you just may be dumber than I thought.
Marriage is a contract between two people who will eventually dispise each other to pool their resources for a common goal.

Now he is bitter, and jealous of all the other couples. Everyday wishing he could have something meaningfull, but alas, he turns up empty.

Where did you get the idea I have been married twice?

I think you are right Annon, he seems to have just a three second memory.
