Sexually Conservative Men More Likely To Be Swayed By Erotic Images, Study Suggests

Sexually conservative men are more swayed by sexual images than more adventurous dudes, according to a new study that might help explain why the sexually conservative, paradoxically, tend to take sexual risks.

The study suggests that men who have no intention of having casual sex nevertheless become more willing to do so after exposure to images of pretty women in bikinis. This willingness without intention may explain a lack of foresight that leads to sex without protection, the study researchers write today (June 19) in the British Journal of Health Psychology.

Thoughts C-D nation?

I'm not really sexually conservative.

I used to visit strip clubs in my youth.

I don't shack up with 10 women and brag to my friends about it the next day.

Is that what you mean buy "adventurous"?

Nah, that ain't me but I do like me some nice bods and pretty faces.

My thought is that perhaps they are the most vulnerable men out there.... Many examples of "conservative" men who have lost careers/fortunes/marriages/families/sponsors/political office, due to the lack of foresight about sex.

It's like the preacher's kids who end up being the wildest ones around. Maybe they feel that they have been denied things and need to make up for lost time. Or, they have not been exposed to things in order to learn healthy habits (on sex, booze, porno...whatever) and binge when finally given the chance / opportunity.

Also, how does the study define "sexually conservative?"

The article says the ones who object to casual sex the most.

"Think of this as similar to young teenagers drinking," study researcher Megan Roberts, a psychologist at Brown University, said in a statement. "Most don't go out explicitly intending to get drunk, but are willing if they are offered alcohol at a party. Likewise, many adults do not intend to have casual sex, but would be willing to do so if presented with the opportunity." [50 Sultry Facts About Sex]
Studies dating back to the 1980s have found that people with conservative attitudes toward sex have less intercourse than the sexually liberal, as might be expected. But when the sexually conservative do get busy, they're more likely to take risks, such as not using protection against pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections."

Sounds like you're their definition of sexually conservative. Basing this on previous threads, but I could be wrong.

The guy who won't go to the tavern and find a new tail to hit every night is a far cry from Father Thomas......IMO

It's not surprising. Just like those who rarely drink are more susceptible to its effects when they do, often leading to poor decisions.

It's like the the politician/evangelist who objected the loudest to homosexuality who ended up being the one who had the most homosexual sex.

BTW OP....I'd hate to see a STRAIGHT male who wasn't excited by images such as.....

His equipment isn't working and he has low testosterone.
