“…Men also report more casual sex partners (Baldwin & Baldwin, 1988;Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, & Michaels, 1994;Townsend, 1995;Traeen & Lewin, 1992) and are more receptive to sexual offers than women (Clark, 1990;Clark & Hatfield, 1989;Greitemeyer, 2005). However, several researchers have noted that it is statistically impossible to have a gender gap between male and female numbers of heterosexual STM-partners (Baumeister, Catanese, & Vohs, 2001;Brown & Sinclair, 1999;Pedersen, Miller, Putcha-Bhagavatula, & Yang, 2002;Wiederman, 1997).…”

Sex Differences in Short-term Mate Preferences and Behavioral Mimicry: A Semi-Naturalistic Experiment

et al. 2007

Studies on short-term mating (STM) yield sex differences regarding preferences for attractiveness (important to women, very important to men) and social status (very important to women, not to men) in potential mates. Additionally, men generally report a greater desire to engage in STM than women. So far, this evidence is primarily based on studies using vignettes or surveys. The current study extended the findings on sex differences in STM by examining actual behavior and STM-desires towards real people of the opposite sex. It investigated whether (1) sex differences exist in STM-desire, (2) whether this desire was affected by a confederate's attractiveness and status, and (3) if these sex differences were also reflected in interpersonal behavior (mimicry). In a pub-like laboratory, single heterosexual participants performed a task alongside a confederate of the opposite sex, who differed in attractiveness and social status. Mimicry was observed and explicit STM-desire was assessed. Results showed that men only desired STM more than women in the case of an attractive partner. Women's STMdesire did not vary as a function of status or attractiveness of the potential partner. Men's, but not women's, mimicry paralleled these differential STM-desires. These results underline the conditionality of sex differences in STM-desire and provide a useful paradigm to further investigate STM.

“…En ce sens, une attention toute particulière est accordée aux capacités de discuter ouvertement de sexualité, de négocier avec un partenaire, d'affirmer des besoins, de résister à la pression d'autrui et de prendre des décisions rapidement (Baldwin et Baldwin, 1988 ;Edgar et a/., 1988 ;Flora et Thoreson, 1988;Melton, 1988). Certaines mises en situation deviennent ainsi des exercices et des discussions d'alternatives (Conant et a/., 1989).…”

“…Drastic changes in behavior have been observed in some homosexuallyactive populations as a result of the effects of the AIDS epidemic in these communities (see Baldwin and Baldwin 1988, Curran et al 1988, Fineberg 1988, Evans et al 1989, Martin 1987, Saltzman et al 1987, Shechter et al 1988, van Griensven et al 1989a,b, Wilkenstein 1988, McKusick et al 1985, Shilts 1987, and Wiktor et al 1990). The effects of these documented changes in behavior on HIV incidence, and the development of partially-effective drug treatments such as AZT, makes it even more difficult to forecast the timing and magnitude of this epidemic.…”

Effects of treatment and prevalence-dependent recruitment on the dynamics of a fatal disease

This paper studies models for the sexual transmission of IllV f AIDS that incorporate changes in behavior as well as the effects associated with IDV treatment. The recruitment rate into the core is assumed to be a function of the prevalence of the disease within the core and it may trigger the existence of periodic solutions through Hopf bifurcations, provided that there is at least a weak demographic interaction with the non-core. The recruitment function is set up for two cases: dependence on the total proportion of infectious individuals and dependence only on the proportion of treated infectious indi~duals. In the general model, numerical evidence suggests that both cases may produce periodic solutions when the perception of risk of joining the core group is sufficiently high. Two limiting cases are also studied: when the growth rate of the core and non core groups are essentially the same, and when treatment has no effect on the transmission rate of infected individuals.
