Is There a Gender Difference in Strength of Sex Drive? Theoretical Views, Conceptual Distinctions, and a Review of Relevant Evidence
TL;DR: For instance, this paper found that men have more frequent and more intense sexual desires than women, as reflected in spontaneous thoughts about sex, frequency and variety of sexual fantasies, desired frequency of intercourse, desired number of partners, masturbation, willingness to forego sex, initiating versus refusing sex, making sacrifices for sex, and other measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Social Exclusion on Cognitive Processes: Anticipated Aloneness Reduces Intelligent Thought
TL;DR: The effects were specific to social exclusion, as participants who received predictions of future nonsocial misfortunes (accidents and injuries) performed well on the cognitive tests and appeared to involve reductions in both speed (effort) and accuracy.

Roy F. Baumeister,Mark R. Leary +1 more
TL;DR: Narrative literature reviews can tackle broader and more abstract questions, can engage in more post hoc theorizing without the danger of capitalizing on chance, can make a stronger case for a null-hypothesis conclusion, and can appreciate and use methodological diversity better.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in erotic plasticity: the female sex drive as socially flexible and responsive
TL;DR: A large assortment of evidence supports 3 predictions based on the hypothesis of female erotic plasticity: individual women will exhibit more variation across time than men in sexual behavior, female sexuality will exhibit larger effects than male in response to most specific sociocultural variables, and sexual attitude-behavior consistency will be lower for women than men.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dianne M. Tice,Roy F. Baumeister +1 more
TL;DR: Procrastination appears to be a self-defeating behavior pattern marked by short-term benefits and long-term costs as discussed by the authors, which may explain why students tend to be more stressed and more ill than non-profrastinators.
