EXCERPT: About the scientific opinion of Dr. Satoshi Kanazawa, Evolutionary psychologist.
The analysis revealed that women are more fluid in all of the proposed facets.
And, the study confirmed his predictions, including one which proposed that women who experience increased levels of sexual fluidity have a larger number of children, and that women who experience marriage or parenthood early in adult life also experience increased levels of sexual fluidity.
The researcher says this suggests that women’s sexual fluidity may have been evolutionarily selected as one method for facilitating polygynous marriages, in which a husband can have more than one wife.
‘Even though humans have been mildly polygynous throughout evolutionary history, polygynous marriages are often characterized by conflict and tension among co-wives,’ Kanazawa writes.
‘I propose that occasional sex among cowives may have reduced such conflict and tension, and increased their reproductive success. Female sexual fluidity may have evolved as an adaptation to facilitate it.‘
The researcher also acknowledges earlier research which explains that historically, women left their homes in order to marry, while boys stayed in their natal groups for their whole lives.
OPINION from MISSY
Don't you just LOVE it when they call all the women who are sharing a man WIVES...
I'd like to know more about this study. For instance, did all the WOMEN who were sharing a man, live with him or even KNOW they were sharing him? Don't you just LOVE it that they call bisexuality or POLYAMORY "fluidity?"
