Does your 'body count' matter? New research found two surprising trends among people's judgments of past sexual history, by DatingDarwin
In 2017, Steve Stewart-Williams and I asked 188 participants from the U.K. to tell us how willing they would be to have a long-term relationship with someone based on their previous number of sexual partners.
Why the reluctance for very low numbers? In the U.K., where it’s not generally expected that long-term partners will be virgins, having no sexual history might act signal that a prospective partner is unattractive in the eyes of others or that they lack the ability to attract others and get relationships off the ground. Both could have implications for relationship satisfaction.Modern humans still seem to have Stone-Aged preferences when it comes to mate numbers.
