[history]
Scholars in antiquity began counting the ways that humans have sex, but they weren't so diligent in cataloging the reasons humans wanted to get into all those positions.
Darwin and his successors offered a few explanations of mating strategies — to find better genes, to gain status and resources — but they neglected to produce a Kama Sutra of sexual motivations.

"the person demanded that I have sex." I guess prison inmates were part of this study.

But then, men were also more likely than women to say they’d had sex because “I was slumming.” Or simply because “the opportunity presented itself,” or “the person demanded that I have sex.”
yeah i hate that i always have to “perform” like that...

The results contradicted another stereotype about women: their supposed tendency to use sex to gain status or resources.Doncha love it when "researchers" try to tell ya junk like this with a straight face?
