Newswise — When heterosexuals have casual sex, previous research indicates it is typically the woman who sets the boundaries. If she's not interested, usually nothing will happen. So the women in the study basically have little interest in having casual sex at first - unless they find the man really attractive. But a man who gives the impression of wanting to have sex with anyone, anytime, is definitely not what most women are looking for. That could be why men acted way less interested in sex than they really were. The whole thing is a tactical game, say the researchers, and the new NTNU research suggests that men and women's real intentions may be different from the signals they send each other. Bendixen is the first author of a recent study dealing with the sexual signals that men and women send to each other.
