- men w/ less trad gender roles = greater synch b/w their sexual desire & perceived partner's sexual desire - men w/ more trad gender roles = lower desire for sex (challenges stereotype) - women w/ more trad gender roles = rely more on partners' sexual desire in frequency of sex - decision to engage in intimate acts may not solely hinge on individ sexual desire; rather, operates w/in broader context influenced by societal/cultural expectations - gap b/w sexual desire b/w men/women wider in male-dominated countries (although gender diffs in sex drive were universal)
