Aw, snap, ladies! We better start clothes shopping with grandma, slip on those purity rings and turn those winky face emojis into angel ones. According to a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, straight men actually get uncomfortable when their female partner becomes too sexual. Say what?

The study followed 62 couples over the course of eight months and through surveys and observation, it was noted how each partner’s desire to get down and dirty was related to their attachment style (or the way one bonds with another). The first survey had the couples answer questions about their relationship to determine their attachment style (right now, according to science, there are four attachment styles: secure, anxious, dismissive-avoidant and fearful-avoidant). Then the couple was surveyed again at four months and then at eight months. The couples were also routinely videotaped in a lab so researchers could observe their verbal and nonverbal cues.

What the study concluded was that women get less anxious about their relationship when their partner displayed high levels of sexual desire, while men did the complete opposite. Men took on the anxious attachment style in a relationship if their female partner’s sex drive was a little too above average.

The study offered some reasoning for this, such as an overly sexual woman might lead her male partner to believe that she could cheat. Also, a high sex drive can be seen as a less feminine trait, leaving the male partner a little confused. Makes sense I suppose, but should we really mask our desire to fit into the perfectly innocent, goes-to-church-every-Sunday type of girlfriend?
