TL;DR: According to cultural stereotypes, men are more eager for sex than are women; women are more likely to set limits on such activity as discussed by the authors, but not one woman agreed to a sexual liaison.
Abstract: According to cultural stereotypes, men are more eager for sex than are women; women are more likely to set limits on such activity. In this paper, we review the work of theorists who have argued in favor of this proposition and review the interview and correlational data which support this contention. Finally, we report two experimental tests of ihis hypothesis. In these experiments, conducted in 1978 and 1982, male and female confederates of average attractiveness approached potential partners with one of three requests: "Would you go out tonight?" "Will you come over to my apartment?" or "Would you go to bed with me?" The great majority of men were willing to have a sexual liaison with the women who approached them. Women were not. Not one woman agreed to a sexual liaison. Many possible reasons for this marked gender difference were discussed. These studies were run in 1978 and 1982. It has since become important to track how the threat of AIDS is affecting men and women's willingness to date, come to a...

TL;DR: A review of the aspects of the traditional sexual script that have been theorized to promote and maintain sexual coercion is provided in this article, where the results of a program of research conducted in conjunction with colleagues and former graduate students are presented.
Abstract: Summary Male use of sexual coercion against an unwilling female partner is all too prevalent in North American society. Several theorists, most notably feminist theorists, have hypothesized that socialization practices with respect to traditional gender roles and corresponding cultural attitudes, cause sexual coercion. Although not always labeled in this way, these theorists posit that the “traditional sexual script” supports and condones male sexual coercion against women and that this sexual script remains the normative dating script in our society. In this article, I first review the aspects of the traditional sexual script that have been theorized to promote and maintain sexual coercion. Then I review the results of a program of research 1 conducted in conjunction with colleagues and former Graduate Students, which tested the validity of this theory for understanding coercive sexual interactions between dating partners. I conclude that the traditional sexual script has proven useful as a framework for...

TL;DR: In this article, the degree to which various traits are preferred in a short-term sexual relationship versus a long-term romantic relationship was examined, and it was found that both men and women focused upon sexual desirability (e.g., attractiveness, health, sex drive, athleticism) and placed more importance on similarity and on socially appealing per...
Abstract: The current investigation extends recent studies that have examined the degree to which various traits are preferred in a short-term sexual relationship versus a long-term romantic relationship. College students (N = 561) expressed their preferences for 23 traits or characteristics in a “short-term sexual” or a “long-term romantic” relationship partner (randomly assigned). Across relationship types, participants preferred internal qualities (e.g., personality, intelligence) to a greater degree than external qualities (e.g., wealth, physical attractiveness). In addition, two sex differences were found. As expected, men emphasized attributes related to sexual desirability more than did women, and women valued characteristics pertaining to social status more than did men. Finally, both men and women focused upon sexual desirability (e.g., attractiveness, health, sex drive, athleticism) when evaluating a short-term sexual partner, and placed more importance on similarity and on socially appealing per...

TL;DR: This article classified compulsive sexual behavior into paraphilias and non-paraphilic compulsive behaviors and proposed an obsessive-compulsive model for understanding paraphilic and nonparaphilias.
Abstract: New developments in understanding the nature, etiology and treatment of compulsive sexual behavior offer new hope for people suffering from these sexual disorders. There is considerable debate about terminology and these newer approaches to treatment. This paper reviews these new developments and the controversy which surround them. Compulsive sexual behavior can be divided into two types: paraphilic and nonparaphilic. While John Money (1986) has described the paraphilias at length, a specific attempt is made here to describe and classify nonparaphilic compulsive sexual behaviors. An obsessive-compulsive model for understanding paraphilic and nonparaphilic compulsive sexual behaviors is preferred by the author.
