“Men are dogs:” Is the stereotype justified?
Karen Vail-Smith and colleagues reported on data from 1394 undergraduates to assess the degree to which the stereotype that “men are dogs” (sexually-focused cheaters) is justified. Results suggested that the stereotype is unjustified since the majority of males (1) predicted that they would not cheat on their partners and (2) reported that they had never having cheated on a partner. However, compared to women, the frequencies with which men reported having cheated were higher. Approximately one-in-five males in a “monogamous” relationship reported having had oral sex and/or vaginal intercourse with someone else (22.2%) compared to 19.7% of the female respondents.
