![]() ![]() As Kennair sums it up, men do stupid things that they die from. Women worry more than men generally, and they worry about more than just casual sex. But nearly 30 per cent of the men regretted not having casual sex, according to Bendixen. "Women regretted having a one-night stand the most, but they weren't sorry about saying no at all, says Kennair.īut that's not the biggest difference. Only 43 per cent of men were totally happy that they passed it up. They are also less unequivocally happy about the experience.Ībout 30 per cent of women in Norway were happy about their most recent casual sex experience, as were over 50 per cent of the men, according to Bendixen.Īt the same time, nearly 80 per cent of women were happy that they said no to casual sex last time. "So we're not saying that there aren't men who regret casual sex," says Kennair.īut it is far more common for women to regret saying yes. Around 35 per cent of women and only 20 per cent of men regretted the experience to some degree. Kennair, Bendixen and Buss found exactly the same pattern in Norway as in the U.S.Ī larger proportion of women than men regretted the last time they had casual sex. The Norwegian researchers collaborated with evolutionary psychologist David Buss of the University of Texas at Austin. They also wanted to try and find out why the results varied so much by gender. Kennair and Associate Professor Mons Bendixen wanted to see whether this is also true in Norway, which is supposedly a more sexually liberal and egalitarian country. These are the results of a previous American study. ![]() Men regret passing up the chance more than women," says Professor Leif Edward Ottesen Kennair at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's (NTNU) Department of Psychology. "Women regret that they agreed to a one-night stand more often than men. In some countries maybe as many as 7 out of 10.īut how men and women experience the "morning after" varies greatly between the sexes. The numbers vary a lot with sources and countries, but a rather safe bet is that around half of people in Western Europe and the USA will have at least one one-night stand. ![]() Have you ever ended up in bed with someone without it turning into anything more?
