Document Summary
January 18, 2016: sociocultural factors continued. Recall: larger response to sociocultural factors expected for women than for men. Sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s: laumann et al. (1994) cross-sectional data, y-axis: % reporting 5+ partners by age 30 (talked about last lecture). Sociocultural factors known to affect sexuality: education more open to sexual things, religiosity less open to sexual things. You can"t randomly assign women to be religious our not, and you can"t randomly assign women to get an education. These groups are the opposite of randomly assigned. Ever performed oral sex (% yes): high education (masters degrees and phd"s), low education (high school), high religion (extremely religious individuals), low religion (atheists, or absolutely no religious beliefs), results: Education level affected more women than men. Ever performed anal sex (% yes): men. Ever had same-sex desire (% yes): men. 5% high religion: religion represses sexuality of a lot of very religious individuals.
