In David Brooks’ book about humans as social beings, he cited studies that indicate that religious women are less likely to be sexually creative or adventurous (he was a bit more graphic, but in good taste).
He noted, however, that the professed or stated religiosity of men had little correlation with their sexual adventurism. (The context of his comments suggested that this was within monogamous relationships).
If this is in fact true, the interesting question here is this: While there are various rational explanations for this difference between the sexes, is it that less sexually adventurous/creative women have a greater affinity towards religion and vice versa, or is it that the religious teachings and upbringing influence women's sexual interest?
I would imagine that, like many things in life, both exert their influence. I’m 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.)
