Deep dives

Female sexuality is tied to ecology and cultural norms

Female sexuality is influenced by the cultural and ecological context in which women live. The idea that women are naturally less sexual than men is debunked by worldwide ethnographic data and studies of women in various settings. When women have the freedom to engage in multiple partnerships, they do so. Societies that provide minimal constraint and control on female sexuality see women expressing strong and selfish desires. The perception that women are more naturally monogamous is proven to be false.
