Apparently, women (according to experts) have not adapted to casual sex. Interesting, eh?

According to Professor Anne Campbell from Durham University (UK):

The negative feelings reported by women after one-night stands suggest that they are not well adapted to fleeting sexual encounters.

Men are more likely to reproduce and therefore to benefit from numerous short-term partners. For women, however, quality seems to be more important than quantity.

Also for women, finding partners of high genetic quality is a stronger motivator than sheer number, and it is commonly believed that women are more willing to have casual sex when there is a chance of forming a long-term relationship.

Hmmm...I'm not so sure if this makes women the lesser of the sexes. But who cares, right? At least these days women have a choice to take care of their own sexuality.

If you are more curious about the above findings, it was published in the June issue of the journal Human Nature.
