Men’s Benefit-Provisioning Mate Retention Behavior Mediates the Relationship Between Their Agreeableness and Their Oral Sex Behaviors

Men’s identification with and support for feminism has attracted the interest of masculinity scholars. This study explores an under-researched dimension of this phenomenon, investigating the relationship between feminist identification and sexual behavior. In heterosexual encounters, do feminist men report having sex more recently than those who do not call themselves feminists? During sexual encounters, do feminist men behave differently than non-feminists? In particular, do feminist men organize their sexual behavior in a way that prioritizes their partners’ sexual pleasure to a greater extent than non-feminists? Using representative survey data of Canadian adults, we examine the self-reported sexual behavior of heterosexual Canadian men. We find that self-identifying feminist men report having sex more recently and are more likely to report engaging in breast stimulation and performing oral sex on their partners than non-feminists. We discuss the implications of these findings on the sociological literature on gender and sexuality.

The Relationship

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with a number of relationship processes. To expand on this, relationship between borderline personality features (BPF; i.e., a non-clinical assessment of BPD) and mate retention was explored. In the first study, we investigated the relationship between BPF, relationship-contingent self-esteem (RCSE), and mate retention behaviors. We also tested whether threat to the relationship moderated this relationship. It was found that borderline traits predicted cost-inflicting mate retention behaviors, whereas RCSE predicted benefit-provisioning mate retention behaviors. In the second study, we explored the dyadic effects of BPF on mate retention strategies across 256 couples. Notably, partner effects emerged for BPF on cost-inflicting behaviors. Together, these studies provide insight to the relationship functioning of those with BPF.
