Picture this, an attractive male/female walks up to you on campus and asks to have casual sex even though you have never met or seen this person before. Would you do it?
Evolutionarily speaking, it is more common for men to have more sexual partners than females. Men are taught to plant their seed, to reproduce as many times to keep their family name alive. Women on the other hand look to settle down and have a sense or security and protection with a sexual partner. Women like to have financial stability and protection as they start their families.
As we discussed ideas and situations about this topic I was pondering about the amount of men that I knew who would actually have casual sex like that. And I could only think of a few. But, then I was thinking about the amount of females I knew who would have casual sex like that and it was lot more than the amount of men. So I came up with a possible hypothesis about this situation. Younger extroverted women are more likely to engage in causal sex than those who are more introverted and conservative. Extroverted women act on impulse not really thinking of possible consequences along the way. Also, possibly due to new societal norms, women find it perhaps okay to sleep around with men before taking 'the plunge' and settling down to be a mother and wife for the rest of their lives.
And almost the same goes for men, the more extroverted the male the more likely they are to have casual sex. Introverted men may be too shy to actually speak up and say they want casual sex.
I'm eager to see how both men and women's views of sex may change due to societal norms. Perhaps we may go back in time where casual sex was not frowned upon before marriage.
