Ska vi titta på vad verkligheten säger?
Som tur är har det precis kommit ut en helt ny meta-review över gjorda studier på området.
Mate Preferences and Their Behavioral Manifestations
Citat:
Sex differences in desires for sexual variety are among the most robust and well-replicated of all effects in the psychological sciences, with effect sizes often reaching ds of 0.74 or greater.Men desire a larger number of sex partners than do women across time intervals ranging from a month to a lifetime. Men are more open than women are to one-night stands, friends with benefits, dating multiple people, having sex with multiple people, and engaging in threesomes (Gray et al. 2018). If men are married, they are more likely to desire extradyadic sex. Men are more likely to have sexual fantasies that involve short-term sex, multiple sex partners, and sex with total strangers. They are more likely to consume pornography depicting short-term sex devoid of context, emotion, and relationships. Men have more permissive attitudes toward casual sex (Petersen & Hyde 2010) and express a more unrestricted sociosexuality than do women. These findings have been supported by two large-scale independent cross-cultural studies, with not a single cultural exception (Lippa 2009, Schmitt 2005). Men, more so than women, relax their standards for low-cost short term matings across an array of mate qualities, including personality, intelligence, and even attractiveness. Not only are these sex differences robust across cultures, on some measures, the magnitude actually increases in more gender-egalitarian cultures. For example, sex differences in expressed comfortability with multiple casual sex partners are higher in Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Iceland than they are in less gender-egalitarian cultures such as Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Swaziland (Schmitt 2014).

In field experiments, more men than women consent to sex when approached with requests by a stranger of the other sex—75% of men versus 0% of women (Clark & Hatfield 1989). These findings have been robustly replicated in behavioral experiments in other cultures, including Germany, Italy, and Denmark (e.g., Hald & Høgh-Olesen 2010, Schützwohl et al. 2009). For instance, Hald & Høgh-Olesen (2010) replicated these findings in Denmark, with 59% of single men and 0% of single women agreeing to a stranger’s proposition, “Would you go to bed with me?” Other studies also point to the expression of men’s short-term sexual desires in actual behavior. Married men are more likely than married women to desire and actually have extramarital affairs (for a review of these results, see, e.g., Buss 2016). Men who have affairs are more likely than women who have affairs to have them with a larger number of affair partners. Men worldwide are more likely than women to become patrons of prostitutes, even in the most sexually egalitarian and sexually liberal countries in the world, such as Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. Indeed, 99% of those who purchase the sexual services of prostitutes are men.
