Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that while men on average desire a larger number of sexual partners than women do, the difference between genders varies significantly across different cultures. In some cultures, men have a much greater preference for multiple sexual partners than women do, while in other cultures the difference is almost non-existent. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Options A and D are incorrect because they are not supported by research on this topic. Option B is also incorrect as research has shown clear variations across cultures.
