ORIGINAL PAPER Men’s Benefit-Provisioning Mate Retention Behavior Mediates the Relationship Between Their Agreeableness and Their Oral Sex Behaviors
2016Co-Authors: Virgil Zeigler-hill, Yael Sela, Austin John JefferyAbstract:Abstract Men perform Oral Sex on their romantic partner as part of a broader benefit-provisioning mate retention strategy and men higher in Agreeableness are especially likely to pro-vision their partnerwith benefits. The current research explored whether men’s benefit-provisioning mate retention behavior mediated the relationshipbetween theirAgreeablenessand their Oral Sexbehaviors in their long-termromantic relationship.Men (n = 346) in a committed, Sexual, heteroSexual relationship completed the Mate Retention Inventory—a 104-item instru-ment that assesses the frequency with which they performed various mate retention behaviors during the past month, a 40-itempersonality inventory, and reportedonaquestionnaire their interest in and the time they spent performing Oral Sex on their romanticpartnerduring theirmost recent Sexualencounter with her. The results indicated that men higher in Agreeable-ness reportedgreater interest inandspentmore timeperforming Oral Sex on their partner, and that their benefit-provisioning mate retentionbehaviorspartiallymediatedthese relationships. The current research is the first to investigate the relation-ship between personality dimensions and Oral Sex behaviors and adds to a growing body of research documenting thatmate retention strategies influence Sexual behavior

Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2015Co-Authors: Michael N. Pham, Todd K.

women s mate retention behaviors personality traits and fellatio
Personality and Individual Differences, 2015Co-Authors: Yael Sela, Michael N. Pham, Todd K. Shackelford, Virgil ZeiglerhillAbstract:Women perform Oral Sex on their male partner (i.e., fellatio) as part of a Benefit-Provisioning mate retention strategy, and women’s personality predicts their interest in, and time spent, performing fellatio. We explored whether women’s mate retention behavior mediates the relationship between their personality traits and their performance of fellatio in a long-term romantic relationship. Women (n = 401) reported their personality traits, the frequency with which they performed mate retention behaviors during the past month, and their interest in and the time they spent performing fellatio on their partner during their most recent Sexual encounter. The results indicate that women higher in Conscientiousness spend more time performing fellatio on their partner, and this relationship is mediated by their Benefit-Provisioning mate retention. Women higher in Agreeableness report greater interest in performing fellatio on their partner, and less Cost-Inflicting mate retention, but mate retention behaviors do not mediate the relationship between their Agreeableness and their interest in performing fellatio. The current research is the first to investigate the relationship between women’s personality traits and Oral Sex behaviors, and contributes to research documenting that mate retention strategies are associated with Sexual behavior.

do women perform fellatio as a mate retention behavior
Personality and Individual Differences, 2015Co-Authors: Yael Sela, Michael N. Pham, Todd K. Shackelford, Harald A EulerAbstract:Men who report performing more mate retention behaviors, in general, and more benefit-provisioning mate retention behaviors, in particular, also report greater interest in, and spend more time, performing Oral Sex on their female partner. We extended these findings to a female sample to investigate whether women’s Oral Sex behaviors are related to their mate retention behaviors. We secured self-report data from 410 women residing in the United States or in Germany in a committed, Sexual, heteroSexual relationship. The results indicate that women who report performing more benefit-provisioning mate retention behaviors also report greater interest in, and spend more time, performing Oral Sex on their partner. Further, there are no Sex differences in the magnitudes or directions of these relationships. The results suggest that both men and women are more interested in, and spend more time, performing Oral Sex on their partner as part of a benefit-provisioning strategy to increase their partner’s relationship satisfaction. We address limitations of this research, and discuss explanations for the results.

Original Article Is Cunnilingus-Assisted Orgasm a Male Sperm-Retention Strategy?
2013Co-Authors: Michael N. Pham, Todd K. ShackelfordAbstract:Abstract: We secured data from 243 men in committed, Sexual, heteroSexual relationships to test the sperm retention hypothesis of Oral Sex. We predicted that, among men who perform cunnilingus on their partner, those at greater risk of sperm competition are more likely to perform cunnilingus until their partner achieves orgasm (Prediction 1), and that, among men who ejaculate during penile-vaginal intercourse and whose partner experiences a cunnilingus-assisted orgasm, ejaculation will occur during the brief period in which female orgasm might function to retain sperm (Prediction 2). The results support Prediction 1 but not Prediction 2. We discuss limitations of the current research and discuss how these results may be more consistent with alternative hypotheses regarding female orgasm and Oral Sex

Sexual behaviours and the risk of head and neck cancers a pooled analysis in the international head and neck cancer epidemiology inhance consortium
International Journal of Epidemiology, 2010Co-Authors: Julia E Heck, Julien Berthiller, Salvatore Vaccarella, Deborah M Winn, Elaine M Smith, Oxana Shangina, Stephen M Schwartz, Mark P Purdue, Agnieszka PilarskaAbstract:Sexual contact may be the means by which head and neck cancer patients are exposed to human papillomavirus (HPV).We undertook a pooled analysis of four population-based and four hospital-based case-control studies from the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology (INHANCE) consortium, with participants from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, India, Italy, Spain, Poland, Puerto Rico, Russia and the USA. The study included 5642 head and neck cancer cases and 6069 controls. We calculated odds ratios (ORs) of associations between cancer and specific Sexual behaviours, including practice of Oral Sex, number of lifetime Sexual partners and Oral Sex partners, age at Sexual debut, a history of same-Sex contact and a history of Oral-anal contact. Findings were stratified by Sex and disease subsite.Cancer of the oropharynx was associated with having a history of six or more lifetime Sexual partners [OR = 1.25, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01, 1.54] and four or more lifetime Oral Sex partners (OR = 2.25, 95% CI 1.42, 3.58). Cancer of the tonsil was associated with four or more lifetime Oral Sex partners (OR = 3.36, 95 % CI 1.32, 8.53), and, among men, with ever having Oral Sex (OR = 1.59, 95% CI 1.09, 2.33) and with an earlier age at Sexual debut (OR = 2.36, 95% CI 1.37, 5.05). Cancer of the base of the tongue was associated with ever having Oral Sex among women (OR = 4.32, 95% CI 1.06, 17.6), having two Sexual partners in comparison with only one (OR = 2.02, 95% CI 1.19, 3.46) and, among men, with a history of same-Sex Sexual contact (OR = 8.89, 95% CI 2.14, 36.8).Sexual behaviours are associated with cancer risk at the head and neck cancer subsites that have previously been associated with HPV infection.
