        Women have sex for love and connection, neither of which they receive from casual sex But broken women do get a feeling of desirability which makes them feel better until they can get another hit Tossing this study in the trashcan

        Its a biological fact. The reality is that people (both men and women) with lower self-esteem tend to have less sex in general (due to genetically weaker libidos) in any sort of way on average.

        I presume society erroneously assumes that women only have a long term mating strategy. Society *falsely* views women who employ short term mating strategies as being too low self esteem &/ or physically unattractive to employ their preferred mating strategy.pic.twitter.com/roTBeDhSut

        There are definitely women who have casual sex simply because they like sex, and with males who they do not want relationships with (and not because they have issues). Such behaviour might be more common in men, but it is not exclusively a male trait.

        I assume the extreme opposite of this.

        Often, a woman feels entitled to enjoy her sexuality with others, without taking on the weight of a new relationship. This is often a phase in a woman's life that occurs between relationships. It is a sense of liberation and empowerment for her - a celebration of her womanhood.

        Men and women struggle with the idea of a sexually liberated woman. We are both intrigued by it and insecure about it.

        There are cultural and biological reasons for the different gender approaches to casual sex - beyond sexism. Reproductive investment being at the core. Also, males are more likely to invest in offspring that they know are their own.
