- This video attempts to answer several questions: What is the difference between sexual economics theory (SET) and feminist theory? How do the MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) and INCEL (involuntarily celibate or involuntary celibate) philosophies connect with sexual economics theory? Which theory has more empirical support? The factors and dynamics of sexuality have been explained by many different models including a biological and a political model. The political model, known as social construction, is often referenced by the feminist theory of sexuality. A third way to conceptualize sexuality would be through an economics model, which is sometimes referred to as social exchange theory or sexual economics theory. A related construct is called sexual market value, which is simply a value determined when operating under sexual economics theory.

To be fair, women may not have accepted the offers for lots of reasons including concerns for personal safety, which men generally don’t have to think about when they’re approached by a strange woman. It may have nothing to do with sex drive and more to do with a survival instinct.
I'm a woman and when I imagine that study where participants are asked if they want to have sex I'm not thinking about whether or not I would like to have sex at all, I'm just thinking about who is this serial killer amd how do I get away.
Rational analysis on such a touchy topic is always welcome.
I am definitely getting hooked on your videos. The content is so interesting, varied, and supported by all the studies and articles you read. Your ability to articulate nuanced concepts with critical reflection is something to which I aspire.
I have never heard of SET before so thank you for educating me. I prefer the delusion of romance, after all bartering is vulgar.
I love that dr. Grande is here to discuss ideas and not to score points.
In my experience, when you are down, economically and or depressed, people will generally look down on you and not want to be your friend/lover/whatever. But when you are doing much better in life, suddenly you matter, you're human after all and more express interest in you. So I don't think this is just a male/female thing or just a sexual thing. The Bible said the poor have no friends, and my life experience would support that. I WAS poor, now I'm not, so it is interesting to see the difference in how people treat you.
I don't think any study can be done on this without asking both side about their sense of safety and potential abuse in past experiences. Men are also less careful about stds, they know way less about them, see their genital related doctors only when they are sick and they transmit more diseases than they actually suffer from. The amount of health and emotional related risks of going to be with a stranger is absolutely not even. Not even mentioning the amount of time and effort both genders put in their hygiene and appearences.
Feminist theory starts with a conclusion and looks for evidence to bolster it.
interesting how almost none of the counterpoints had anything to do with the validity of the theory, they basically just call it sexist
Oscar Wilde said it best: "Everything in the world is about sex. Except sex. Sex is about power."
I really appreciate your dispassionate and balanced approach to investigating and discussing opposing views. It stands to reason if we are truly interested in truth, emotional neutrality is paramount, as well, we are open and willing to abandon even long-standing views and conclusions in favor of better evidence . Keep it up!
Dear Dr. Grande:
This is a fascinating topic. Thank you for offering a balanced perspective. I think that the precipitants of sexual behavior are probably a mix of biological and social construction theories. It's hard to separate our behavior from our culture or biology so maybe that's why it's so hard to study.
Dr.Grande have you covered information on power dynamics in relationships?
What a pleasant and optimistic spin on this subject matter! Fantastic work, Dr. Grande, thank you so much for breaking these concepts down and inviting respectful communication. Right on!
I was wondering which of these studies was the one where the researchers asked college age women and men for sex. Did they ever interview the subjects about why they did or did not want to have sex with a stranger? There can be a variety of reasons why someone would refuse:
Thank you VERY much for that priceless closing advice about arguing/debating/discussing without allowing negative emotions to control the tone of the experience!
Years ago, I was seeing a psychologist who suggested I do a "cost-benefit analysis" on some of the friendships I was struggling through at the time. He was right, very right; perhaps "more right" than he knew or could have known. But I was uncomfortable then, as I am now, with the application of financial terms and concepts to human emotions and relationships.
I've discovered your channel through this video and proceded to watch other ones, you probably make the best psychology videos on UA-cam .
