Document Summary
Topic 2: defining sex what is sex? (2) Depends (a bit) on who you are: non-significant gender differences for some behaviour (kissing, Evolutionarily, men benefit being attractive to women because of reproductive advantage (good genetic qualities) Convincing people you have more partners may make them think you have reproductive strength. If women have less-inclusive definition of sex maybe this helps women lower their numbers: significant gender differences in importance of orgasm. Evolutionary perspective: goal of sex = reproduction. Men need to orgasm to reproduce so it might be relatively more important for them. Women don"t need to orgasm for reproductive success, Therefore orgasm might alter the likelihood of men calling oral sex, sex : otherwise its sex if penile penetration of anus or genitals occurs. Not really, people have a more inclusive definition of what is a sex. Once genitals are involved it is a sex partner for both males and partner vs. what is sex females normatively.
