How to get laid

Abstract: Beginning in their late twenties, women face the unique adaptive problem of declining fertility eventually terminating at menopause. We hypothesize women have evolved a reproduction expediting psychological adaptation designed to capitalize on their remaining fertility. The present study tested predictions based on this hypothesis—these women will experience increased sexual motivations and sexual behaviors compared to women not facing a similar fertility decline. Results from college and community samples (N = 827) indicated women with declining fertility think more about sex, have more frequent and intense sexual fantasies, are more willing to engage in sexual intercourse, and report actually engaging in sexual intercourse more frequently than women of other age groups. These findings suggest women’s “biological clock” may function to shift psychological motivations and actual behaviors to facilitate utilizing remaining fertility.

Forget chasing the teenage tarts: go for the women in their 30s.

  1. Forget chasing the teenage tarts: go for the women in their 30s.

    A practice I have advocated for many years. Nice to see science finally catching up and validating my theories though.

    Viva mooi aunties! Viva!

  2. So Much For Subtlety

    It is not getting laid that is the problem. It is getting away afterwards. Women in their 30s are all very well, but within five minutes you’re going to be talking about possible children’s names. Not to mention the failed relations she had years ago before she started living with all her cats. Give me a girl who hasn’ decided on her career yet much less on whether she wants to settle down.

    Trust me, you want to be the guy she is bitching about in ten years, not the guy who has to listen to her bitching about you.

  3. Damn, the image wouldn’t post. Here’s the explanatory text:

    This older-women-are-more-sexual pattern repeats across almost every proposition. Here are a few more data sets just as sparklines (computed, like the map above, for our sample set of 100,000 women). Again, these are just a handful of examples; whether we ask about bondage or kissing, women are the most sexual in their thirties.
