These ideas sound a lot like the ideas presented in a book entitled "Sperm
Wars"...I loaned the book to a colleague so do not have the author's name.
This is a very interesting book in which the author explains all sexual
behavior (human) from a genetic/evolutionary point of view. The author
sounds authoritative, but I don't recall any footnotes citing actual
studies. It is worth reading, but unsettling because human behavior is
explained from an animal behavior perspective, as if humans are
genetically driven to do certain things.
