Research shows that men and women are eager to overcome social and cultural norms when it comes to their sex life.
The new study says that when others ask us about sex, what we all want is normal as we look at the figures and descriptions to give, for this reason we lie to approach as much from acceptable.
Research revealed that as men and women tell lies when they have to describe their sex lives, in order to look more normal about what they say.
In this respect, men want to look like real men, who have had many sexual partners and more experience.
On the other hand, women prefer to look like with less sexual experience, than they actually were and this comes from cultural stereotypes.
There is a very unique fact about sexuality, that makes people be more concerned about compliance with the stereotypes that exist about their sex, said Terri Fisher, author of the study and professor of psychology at Ohio State University.
The study found that men were more willing to accept that for a period of time were taken with activities of women were seen as very attractive, such as writing poetry.
The same thing happens with women who did not want to hide the fact that sometimes jokingly say uncomfortable or dealing with activities pertaining array male.
Sexuality seems to be one of those sensitive areas that people worry too much if you do not match the stereotype of an ordinary man or an ordinary woman.
Women were happy to accept that they were engaged in behaviors that were seen as typically male, as can be seen singing in the shower or crude jokes.
They revealed the typical masculine and feminine behavior, such as wearing dirty clothes, saying jokes without salt or singing in the shower, writing poems and lies about weight.
In the study, 293 college students participated from 18 to 25 years. They were asked to determine how often do 124 behavior never answered by up to several times per day.
Some participants of the questionnaire related to a polygraph machine or called polygraph, which actually was not in working condition.
Others were connected to the device before starting the study, ostensibly to measure the amount of anxiety, but was cut before the machine to finish the questionnaire.
In general, the findings show how men and women tended to act as shadow had their sex.
Males were observed more typically male behavior and female behavior common to women, whether they were connected to the car's true or not.
For non-sexual behaviors, participants seemed to express any pressure to respond in the way that it imposed stereotypes about sex they had.
In other words, as women who were associated with the lie detector, and those that were not, just accept some lies about weight and other factors related to stereotypes.
The only exception was sexual behaviors that men reported more sex partners when they were not on the car of truth.
On the other hand, the opposite occurred for women, reported less when they were connected to the detector lies. The same thing happened in the reporting of sexual experiences.
Men and women had different answers about sexual behavior when they were required to be completely honest.
