On a similar note, new research published in the Journal of Sex Research indicates that women are more likely than men to lie about their sex lives. The number of sexual partners a woman reported nearly doubled when they thought they were hooked up to a lie detector, while men's answers did not vary significantly. Terri Fisher of Ohio State University, one of the researchers, suggests that women appeared to feel under pressure to meet social expectations for their sexual behaviour and were afraid of being labelled as whores. Well, obviously. Did you really need a psychological study to tell you that?
