sociosexual orientation  

Definición

  • The construct of sociosexuality was developed to explain variation in the degree to which individuals need to feel emotionally close and connected to romantic partners before having sex with them. In his pioneering study of human sexuality, Alfred Kinsey documented that, although men on average report being more comfortable engaging in different forms of sociosexual behaviors than do most women, considerably more variability existed within each gender than between women and men.
