Women's Preparation to Talk About Their Sexual Past Is Mediated by the Local Sex Ratio
Women's preparedness to talk about their sexual history is mediated by the local sex ratio. Dave Schmidt has data that women become more unrestricted in their sexuality when they are in a female skewed environment. Women might be trying to signal their sexual purity in these contexts where there's strict competition for men, he says. But what you would actually want to have as a woman is to show sexual chastity publicly no matter what is happening and then privately that's when the different strategy would come through.
