Document Summary
Lecture 6: men report higher sex drives, have more thoughts, and more than women in variety of fantasies (women vary more over lifetime lesbians more likely to report previous orientation than men). Men higher number of ideal partners, gay men more sex, interested in sex earlier, etc. Hypothesis that men may have stronger sexual impulses rather than weaker inhibitory abilities: gender differences tend to disappear when hooked up to a lie detector. The median number of partners same for both sexes. Men may think of sex more, but they think of other selfish things more: men report higher attraction to women. Women report attraction to both sexes: men show genital arousal to females, females show arousal to both sexes. May be that men respond more to gender, and women respond more to sexual actions. Women lubricate under less stimulation as an evolved response to protect their genitals. Females are the original sex which later differentiates to males.
