Wasn't talking about "sexual morality." Was only observing that men who are highly successful in the sexual arena have to work hard and prove themselves to be successful, while women don't.
I've known "studs" who had "game," were tall and handsome, and understood how to sweet-talk the girls. (Their primary tactic was to always feign an "abundance mindset" and appear only barely interested; that always triggers a woman's self-doubt while simultaneously suggesting to her that the man is "pre-selected" - i.e., his apparent lack of desperation must mean that he is in "high demand" and is thus "high quality" - women hate to have to go to the trouble to actually evaluate a man's worth themselves; it's so much easier to rely on subtle "tells" based on other women's testing.)
For a man to tally up a high "body-count," he has to go to considerable effort. (As a rule, he will also have to be above-average in looks, heights, money, etc.)
But for a woman to score a high "notch-count," she need only have a sn*tch.
The "studs" I knew were actually pretty judicious in selecting their partners (having an abundance of choice, they could afford to be!), and were also careful in those other "departments" (regarding V.D. and unwanted pregnancies).
I think that you should also consider a third categories of "consequences" (besides V.D. and pregnancies): The psychological damage / diminishing ability to pair bond, which is demonstrable among women. Stats show that most men can have one or two dozen "affairs" without it appreciably affecting their ability to subsequently "settle down" and be happy with a single partner. But a woman who has had two dozen men - she's ruined for (married) life.
Regards,
Thanks for the explanation.
Of course, what is considered “successful” in the sexual arena is highly dependent on the person.
At the end of the day both men and women who are promiscuous are wanting from a moral standpoint.

I wanted to ask if you could point me in the direction of some supporting evidence for this. Thanks.
