Talk:Female promiscuity

The Teachman Study referenced in citation 11 under the psychology section doesn't attest to the figures stated

Sentence:

A 2010 study published in Journal of Marriage and Family found that there was a correlation between female pre-marital promiscuity and higher rates of divorce. The research, conducted by Jay Teachman, found that women with 16 or more sexual partners prior to marriage had an 80% rate of subsequent divorce.[11]

The study doesn't say this. Was this from a different study or...? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Windstreet (talk • contribs) 07:17, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Uncited, unsubstantiated assertion under Biology subheading

The following uncited claim is made under the biology subheading: "During the high-testosterone period before ovulation, a woman typically feels more attracted to masculine facial features and is more likely to pursue short-term mating."

This is one claim among many made about the psychology of ovulating women that has not stood up to scrutiny. In fact, the largest study to date assessing the relationship between women's hormonal status and preference for men with masculine features found no compelling evidence that preferences for facial masculinity were linked to changes in circulating hormone levels. Further, this 2019 study found no significant associations between facial masculinity preferences and either individual differences or within-woman changes in testosterone, which directly contradicts the above. I think the above sentence should be removed on these grounds. --ChippyDavenport (talk) 21:23, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Why is this here?

The following paragraph appears under the biology subheading:

Polyandrous mating is positively correlated with testicle-to-body weight across bushcricket taxa (see Sperm competition).[25] Human testicles, relative to body weight, are lighter than those of the chimpanzee genus (Pan) but heavier than those of gorillas (Gorilla) and orangutans (Pongo).[26][27] The bonobo chimpanzee species (Pan paniscus) has heavier testicles than the chimpanzee species (Pan troglodytes). It is yet unclear whether the rule is as applicable within species as it is across species—that is, whether it is applicable across races—but according to a study by J. Philippe Rushton, Caucasoid averages (21 g) are about twice as heavier as the Oriental standard (9 g).[28]

Two things: how this relates to the actual subject is unclear. How does the relative weight of testes across great apes relate to the topic of female promiscuity? Second: the reference to the comparative weights of "caucasoid" vs "oriental" (yikes!) testes is frankly bizarre and reads like something out of a 19th century comparative anatomy text. I'm going to delete all of this.
