Sexual Suggestiveness: What is it? - An Evolutionary Perspective
Sexual suggestiveness is a process evolved in order to aid the male/female in securing a sexual partner or mate. Once the individual has decided on a mate to pursue, sexual suggestiveness helps to attract the said mate - this is a skill which has been sexually selected (sexual selection) for during evolution. Sexually suggestive behaviours include things such as 'showing more skin' and flirting (see below). Both of these examples are behaviours which the individual would intentionally display, there is research to suggest that sexually suggestive behaviours may not always be deliberate. Unbeknownst to the individual, factors such as the menstrual cycle, voice pitch and rate of money spending can all have an effect on sexual success and sexually suggestive behaviour. For example, when females were in the work place and ovulating (ovulation) they were more likely to engage in sexually suggestive behaviours e.g. showing more skin; further females who work as lap dancers earn more money when they are in the ovulation stage of their menstrual cycle, explanations for this were that when ovulating the female unwittingly behaves in a more sexual way and there for emitting sexually suggestive cues. . There is not, however, any evidence to show that these females are aware that their actions or earnings are intrinsically linked to their menstrual cycle. These subtle cues of sexual readiness are merely one branch of the topic of sexually suggestiveness. This article will address some of the main areas of this topic.
