Large gender differences including attitudes towards casual sex encounters and sexual behaviours such as masturbation. Men are fairly likely to agree to sex with a stranger, women are exceptionally unlikely to do so. Going to bed no yes responses from females, 75% of men said yes. Same results in a follow-up study by clark (1990) May have less to do with the gender of the person being asked and more with the gender of proposer. An individual of any sex would be less likely to agree to a sexual encounter with a man than a women. Men are perceived as being more aggressive and violent, having fewer positive personal traits, higher degree of risk for sexually transmitted infections. Sociocultural perspective fewer women agreed to sex because women are socialized to be sexually conservative. Women see far greater risk in the world than men do danger of sexual encounters is more on girls mind then men"s.
