RELATIONSHIPS: Absence makes a man's heart grow fonder, but not a woman's

BOSTON (AP) - So who pines away the longest, men or women?

Researchers say the more time spent apart after sex, the more eager men were to copulate with their lovers again. It turns out women don't feel the same way - and it doesn't matter how much time has gone by since the couple last had sex. In a survey of people on and around college campuses, women were generally unaffected by separation, according to the study led by Todd Shackelford, an assistant professor of psychology at Florida Atlantic University. The researchers propose in a paper presented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association that men are unwittingly responding to an urge from way back in human evolution. Basically, the researchers suggest, the urge that drives a man to want sex after separation is the thought that another man might have gotten there first and beat out his sperm in the race to fertilize his partner's egg. After all, in the view of evolutionary biology, passing on genes to the next generation is what sex is all about. The notion of "sperm competition" has been well-studied in nonhumans, but whether it significantly shapes sexual behavior in people is open to debate. Shackelford acknowledged the measured effect of time apart on men's attitudes about sex is small. Many other factors could effect how interested a man is in sex on a given day. The results of the study are preliminary and can suggest only that time apart affected men's attitudes, because they come from a one-time survey. The researchers gave anonymous one-time questionnaires to 388 women and 304 men who said they were in committed sexual relationships. The participants, in their mid-20s on average, were recruited at universities and nearby public areas in Texas, Florida and Germany. Participants rated their current interest in their partner on a 10-point scale. Results suggest that for every 100 hours of time apart since the last time they had sex with their partner, men's interest in doing it again rose an average of about one point, and their rating of their partner's attractiveness rose about a half-point. Similarly, the less time men had spent with their partners since last intercourse, the higher they rated the partner's sexual interest in themselves and her attractiveness to other men. It didn't matter how much total time had elapsed since the last copulation.

Women, in contrast, appeared unaffected by the amount of time spent apart.
