In the process of writing my PhD dissertation about how young women\u2019s overall health and wellness impact the lives of the children they conceive years down the road, I conducted 32 in-depth interviews and 10 focus groups with female college students. I found that good nutrition<\/a> was tough for these young women to get on campus, and that they had difficulty finding time in their schedules for adequate exercise<\/a>. These things didn\u2019t surprise me. But I also learned about something I was not expecting: the negative toll of hookup culture. I could readily see that the young college women I was teaching were being damaged far more by this culture of casual sex than by the environment of bad food and inadequate exercise. The sheer amount of heartache and heartbreak I witnessed was heartrending. How could young men treat these young women so badly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I recognized the significant fallout from hookup culture, my PhD research focus shifted from standard women\u2019s health and wellness to women\u2019s health and sexual<\/em> wellness. I learned much about what is behind this sexual conflict between men and women, and I want to share some of it with you today (and in more articles to come).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hypothalamus and the difference between male and female sex drives<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, there are significant biologically-based sex differences between men and women. This is especially true in what I call the seat of human sexuality, the hypothalamus. Men have a sexual pursuit area of the hypothalamus that is more than twice as large as women\u2019s<\/a> [1]. This area in male brains is stuffed with two times more cells<\/a>, and is very sensitive to testosterone<\/a> stimulation, because it has far more receptors than the same area in the female brain does. Men, on average, have more than 10 times as much testosterone as women, and some even have up to 183 times more than women, which directly impacts their sex drive (making it much higher, on average, than women\u2019s). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, compared to women, a much higher proportion of male testosterone is free and able to affect cells and, consequently, behavior. In contrast, women have much higher levels of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) than men do, which acts to bind much of their testosterone, making it less usable in the body (and meaning it has less of an effect on women than it does on men). These are just a few of the foundational differences that naturally shape much of males\u2019 and females\u2019 different levels of interest in, and motivation for, impersonal or casual sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s happening in the amygdala during sex, and how does it impact male openness to casual sex? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only are there profound differences in male vs. female hypothalamus architecture and chemistry, the two sexes differ in the structure and function of the brain\u2019s survival command-and-control center: the amygdala. As with the hypothalamus, the average male amygdala is over twice as large<\/a> as the average female amygdala, and is more reactive to sexual stimuli [2]. In contrast, the female amygdala<\/a> is more reactive to food stimuli [3].\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference in male vs. female amygdalas tends to manifest in sex differences in attitudes towards casual sex<\/a> and sex drive<\/a>, and appears to make men vulnerable to the \u201cCoolidge Effect<\/a>,\u201d in which they show a greater preference for variety in sexual relationships than women do [4][5][6]. Additionally, when men are in an aroused state<\/a>, they become more willing to go against their ethical beliefs and tell women they love them when they don\u2019t, give them a date rape drug, or use other types of deceit to sleep with them [7]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After I began researching the sex differences in men and women\u2019s sexual brain anatomy and hormones, and the resulting motivation for casual sex that many young men display, the heartache and heartbreak of the young college women in my interviews and focus groups started to make sense to me (even if I still found these young men\u2019s actions deplorable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casual sex is less physically pleasurable for young women, and makes them feel \u201cused\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hookup culture goes against the average woman\u2019s sexual nature. In this older study from 1995, when females took part in hookups, they tended to feel emotionally vulnerable afterward and to have anxious thoughts<\/a> about their partner’s willingness to invest in the relationship [8]. Young women who wanted more commitment than their partners were willing to give tended to experience feelings of distress, degradation, and exploitation. Worse still, going on to have more meaningless sex with other partners did not relieve their emotional distress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newer research similarly shows that women are significantly more negative and less positive <\/a>than men about hooking up, have greater regret about it, and are more likely to feel \u201cused\u201d[9]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casual sex is also less physically pleasurable for young women than sex inside a committed, long-term relationship. Research shows that women are more likely to experience orgasm<\/a> when they are in a serious relationship. In fact, this study<\/a> found that casual sex (such as a one-night stand) might never<\/em> lead to a real orgasm for women! It\u2019s little wonder, then, that when women do take part in casual sex, they usually aren\u2019t as happy with the outcomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double standard: What men are looking for in short-term vs. long-term sexual relationships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tragically, young women have shared with me that they have been told by people\u2014and in some cases those people have been their parents\u2014that these days, if you don\u2019t have sex with a guy on dates, then you will never get a man to marry you. From my research and experience, nothing could be further from the truth. Men don\u2019t assess women for short-term and long-term relationships the same way women do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, a woman generally looks for the same things<\/em> in a man for both short-term and long-term relationships. The same is not true for the average man, who tends to look for different things<\/em> in a woman, depending on whether he is seeking out a short-term or long-term relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what are men looking for in casual sexual partners? Men who are looking for short-term relationships, or even just for casual sex without any kind of relationship, are not drawn to women who withhold sex. With short-term partners, these men look for women who are sexually experienced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, men greatly dislike promiscuity or indiscriminate sexual activity in a potential wife or committed long-term partner.<\/a> [10] When rating a date as a possible future wife, men rated the following behaviors as highly desirable out of 130 acts of attraction (attractive behaviors important to men seeking a marriage partner): remaining faithful, avoiding sex with other men, and showing devotion. In other words, they pretty much look for the opposite type of women they might seek out for a casual sexual encounter when looking for a lifelong partner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seems a bit outrageous, doesn\u2019t it? And the double standard doesn\u2019t stop there. While most women experience increased feelings of love and commitment following first-time intercourse with a man, if that man has a high number of previous sex partners, then he is more likely to experience a decrease<\/em> in his rating of the woman\u2019s physical and sexual attractiveness<\/a> after having sex with her [11]. This can happen within 10 seconds after his orgasm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casual sex, particularly after orgasm, leads to different hormone release in men vs. women\u2013with very different results in feelings about the relationship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why might this immediate emotional detachment occur in men after casual sex? Let\u2019s look at the difference in hormone release during sex, particularly after orgasm, in men vs. women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During sex, women\u2019s dopamine and oxytocin levels rise. At orgasm, a woman is flooded with oxytocin<\/a>, and so she tends to bond strongly with the man she just had sex with, even if it\u2019s only her first time with him. So while they may have intellectually planned on a no(emotional)-strings-attached one-night stand, biochemically, that may be an impossibility\u2013for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men, on the other hand, experience a rise in dopamine levels during sex, along with testosterone and vasopressin. They are less likely to experience the same oxytocin rush and consequential strong bonding that women tend to automatically have with orgasm, unless<\/em> circumstances are just right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are those circumstances and what makes men fall in love differently than women fall in love? I will answer that burning biochemical question in a separate article<\/a>\u2013so stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
