Women’s sexual preferences change over the course of their menstrual cycle, with partnered women being most attracted to single men during their fertile stage, according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of Padua in Italy suggest that partnered women, who want to have an affair or even think about having a fling, subconsciously choose single men when they are fertile. On the other hand, their attraction shifts to coupled men when they become infertile.
The researchers say that women select a man who is more likely to be a willing partner when they are fertile.
They explain that having an affair with a coupled man may be both a waste of time, and risky, as there is a greater chance of getting caught.
“Ancestral women who felt more attracted to a single man than to an already coupled one would have been more likely than others to succeed and transmit this preference to their daughters,” Nature quoted Paola Bressan of the University of Padua in Italy, as saying
