"Women prefer high-status men.[3] In workplace affairs, men are equally likely to have sex with a superior or subordinate woman. Women, in contrast, are seven times more likely to have sex with superior, rather than subordinate, men.[4]"

This would imply that the the 1/7th of women who are having sex with subordinate men are having 7 times as much sex (at least!) as those who are having sex with superior men: Think about it. If 50% of men are having sex with superiors, 50% of the sex women have has to be with subordinates. Because heterosexual sex requires 1 man and 1 woman (generally speaking).

On the contrary, if small numbers of women are having most of the sex, while the distribution of men having sex is more evenly spread, then mathematically this works out perfectly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.34.144.184 (talkcontribs) .
