ABSTRACT

Sex differences in short-term mating behaviors are well-documented in human sexuality research. Existing studies usually explain sex differences in sexual behaviors through differences in mating preferences, which is theoretically problematic. Using an agent-based model, we investigated the circumstances under which males’ and females’ differential preferences for short-term mating would result in sex differences in short-term mating behaviors. The model showed that when all individuals in a closed heterosexual population were considered, males and females had the same average number of short-term mating experiences and short-term mates even when males had stronger preferences for short-term mating. Males (vs. females) had a higher average number of both experiences and mates when analyses were limited to only heterosexual males and females who successfully participated in the mating pool (i.e., those with a non-zero number of short-term mating experiences). Moreover, when males (vs. females) had stronger preferences for short-term mating, gay males had a higher average number of experiences and mates compared to both lesbian females and heterosexual males. These results suggest that even when sex differences in mating preferences exist, the sex differences in short-term mating behaviors only occur among particular populations, or when males’ preferences for short-term mating are not constrained by those of females. Suggestions for future research in human mating psychology and behaviors were provided.

由于交配偏好导致的短期交配行为中的性别和性取向差异的基于主体的模型

摘要

短期交配行为的性别差异在人类性行为研究中有详细记载。现有研究通常通过交配偏好的差异来解释性行为的性别差异,这在理论上是有问题的。使用基于主体的模型,我们调查了男性和女性对短期交配的不同偏好会导致短期交配行为的性别差异的情况。该模型表明,当考虑封闭的异性恋人群中的所有个体时,男性和女性的短期交配经历和短期伴侣的平均数量相同,即使男性更倾向于短期交配。男性(对 当分析仅限于成功参与交配池的异性恋男性和女性(即短期交配经历非零的人)时,女性)的平均经历和配偶数量更高。此外,当男性(相对于女性)对短期交配有更强的偏好时,与女同性恋和异性恋男性相比,男同性恋的平均经历和伴侣数量更高。这些结果表明,即使存在交配偏好的性别差异,短期交配行为的性别差异也只会出现在特定人群中,或者当男性对短期交配的偏好不受女性的约束时。对未来人类交配心理和行为的研究提出了建议。短期交配经历非零的人)。此外,当男性(相对于女性)对短期交配有更强的偏好时,与女同性恋和异性恋男性相比,男同性恋的平均经历和伴侣数量更高。这些结果表明,即使存在交配偏好的性别差异,短期交配行为的性别差异也只会出现在特定人群中,或者当男性对短期交配的偏好不受女性的约束时。对未来人类交配心理和行为的研究提出了建议。短期交配经历非零的人)。此外,当男性(相对于女性)对短期交配有更强的偏好时,与女同性恋和异性恋男性相比,男同性恋的平均经历和伴侣数量更高。这些结果表明,即使存在交配偏好的性别差异,短期交配行为的性别差异也只会出现在特定人群中,或者当男性对短期交配的偏好不受女性的约束时。对未来人类交配心理和行为的研究提出了建议。与女同性恋和异性恋男性相比,男同性恋的平均经历和伴侣数量更高。这些结果表明,即使存在交配偏好的性别差异,短期交配行为的性别差异也只会出现在特定人群中,或者当男性对短期交配的偏好不受女性的约束时。对未来人类交配心理和行为的研究提出了建议。与女同性恋和异性恋男性相比,男同性恋的平均经历和伴侣数量更高。这些结果表明,即使存在交配偏好的性别差异,短期交配行为的性别差异也只会出现在特定人群中,或者当男性对短期交配的偏好不受女性的约束时。对未来人类交配心理和行为的研究提出了建议。
