Religiousity in Women Equates to a Lack of Sexual Exploration?

In David Brook's book about humans as social beings, he cites studies that indicate religious women are less likely to be sexually creative or adventurous (he was a bit more graphic but in good taste).

However, the professed or stated religiosity of men had little correlation with their sexual adventurism. (The context of his comments suggested this was within monogamous relationships or was irrelevant).

If this is in fact true, the interesting question here is, while there are various rational explanations for this difference between the sexes, is it less sexually adventurous/creative women have a greater affinity towards religion and vice versa or is it the religious teachings and upbringing influence women's sexual interest?

I would imagine like many things in life that both exert their influence. Interested in feedback. (Please don’t engage in any graphic disclosures or comments. This is meant to be serious inquiry of great importance, at least for us men).
