Meeting with strangers and sex: David Buss (1994)

Questions on casual/brief “spontaneous” encounter:
1. Would you go out on a date with me tonight?
2. Would you go back to my apartment with me tonight?
3. Would you have sex with me tonight?

HUMAN IMPERFECT MONOGAMY/MODERATE POLIGYNIA
1. BIPARENTAL INVESTMENTS (Differences women vs. men)
- Neotenic infants (large period of brain maturation off
utero)
- Extended learning period in childhood
2. BATTLE OF THE SEXES:
- Concealed ovulation in women
- Concealed estrus (heat)
- Extended sexuality (nonrestricted receptivity)
- Feminine/masculine ornaments (attractive signals)
- Mate guarding
- Extrapair copulations (cuckoldry)

Mautz BS, Wong BBM, Peters RA and Jennions MD (2013) PNAS, 110, 17,
6925-6930.
Results:
- Up to 2 attractiveness points can be gained by longer penises, once shoulder-to-hip
ratios and heights controlled.
- 70% variance in attractiveness explained by higher shoulder-to-hip ratios; 10-15% by
penis length (from 10 cm. onwards), and 10-15% by height (1,78-1,87 m, optimum).
- r=0,2 between penis size and women’s inspection times.
- Effects more substantial for taller men.
- Taller and bulky women demand longer penises.

The neural correlates of maternal and romantic loveAndreas Bartels and Semir Zeki
Neuroimage (2004), 21, 1155-1166
Procedure:
20 Mothers, 34 years age (27-40) provided photos of their own child (oc) or an
acquainted child (ac) same age (9months-6 years, mean 24 months).
Also provided photos of a best friend (all females: 36,9 years age, relationship time > 15
years)
fMRI sessions in a 2T Siemens equipment.
Subjects only had to view the photos and relax
Pictures presented on a screen, in pseudorandom order, against a gray background, in a
passport format.
Each picture presented 6 times for 15 sec.

Neurogonadal love/sex cascades: main stars
Desire/Sexual drive:
Testosterone, dihidrotestosterone, androstenodione, others…
Appeal/Atractiveness:
Dopamine, androstens, copulins...
Satisfaction, sexual pleasure:
Opioids, oxytocine…
Possession/Jealousy:
Vasopressine, serotonin…
Affection/attachment/companionship:
Oxytocine, prolactine, endozepines…
Memories of affective pleasures:
Glutamate, nitric oxide…… Love/Sex profiles dependent
on these different
neurohormonal systems.
Individual differences in
motivation, pleasure,
preferences and intimate
affect!!!
