\nWomen are jumping into the sack faster and with fewer expectations about long-term commitments than ever, effectively discounting the \u201cprice\u201d of sex to a record low, according to social psychologists.
\nMore than 25% of young women report giving it up within the first week of dating. While researchers don\u2019t have a baseline to compare it to, interviews they have conducted lead them to believe this is higher than before, which increases the pressure on other women and changes the expectations of men.
\n\u201cThe price of sex is about how much one party has to do in order to entice the other into being sexual,\u201d said Kathleen Vohs, of the University of Minnesota, who has authored several papers on \u201csexual economics.\u201d \u201cIt might mean buying her a drink or an engagement ring. These behaviors vary in how costly they are to the man, and that is how we quantify the price of sex.\u201d

\nMen want sex more than women do. It\u2019s a fact that sounds sexist and outdated. But it is a fact all the same — one that women
\nused for centuries to keep the price of sex high (if you liked it back in the day, you really had to put a ring on it). With gender
\nequality, the Pill and the advent of Internet porn, women\u2019s control of the meet market has been butchered.
\nAs a result, says Mark Regnerus, a sociologist at the University of Texas at Austin, men are \u201cquicker to have sex in our relationships these days, slower to commitment and just plain pickier.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
