Evolution & Sexuality

This text explores evolutionary perspectives on sexual attraction, highlighting that men generally have a stronger sex drive and seek uncommitted sex more than women. Research indicates men respond more to visual sexual stimuli and perceive positive interactions as sexual advances. Women, on the other hand, are attracted to signs of maturity and resource availability in men. Studies show men prefer women in their twenties for peak fertility, while women value traits that indicate support and protection in a partner. This analysis emphasizes how these preferences are influenced by evolutionary factors.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Evolution & Sexuality Lippa, 2008: Men more than women everywhere agree: 'I have a strong sex drive', and 'It doesn't take much to get me sexually excited' (m 144 c 142). • Schmitt, 2007: In surveys, gay men (like straight men) report more interest in uncommitted sex, more responsiveness to visual sexual stimuli, and more concern with their partner's physical attractiveness than do lesbian women(m 144, c142). • Men have a lower threshold for perceiving warm responses as a sexual come-on. (Johnson et al., 1991). This is an example of misattribution error (m 145 c 143) • What do heterosexual men and women find attractive in a mate? Men need a six-pack; women an hour-glass figure. Nature selects bodies and behaviours that will send one's genes into the future.

  2. Evolution & Sexuality • Kenrick et al., 2009: Men are attracted to women whose ages would be associated with peak fertility (the middle twenties). This pattern is consistent across North and South America, Africa, India, and the Phillipines. (m 145, c 143) • Singh, 1995: Women are attracted to men who seem mature, dominant, bold, and affluent.(m 145, c 143) • Roney et al., 2006: Women skillfully discerned which men most liked looking at baby pictures, and they rated those men higher as potential long-term mates. ( m 145 c143) • Buss, 2009: From an evolutionary perspective, such attributes connote a man's capacity to support and protect a family. (m 145 c143)
