Added: 2026-05-10

[00:00:00]Bestie, my boyfriend and I aren't having much sex lately. He says he still finds me attractive, but nothing's happening.

[00:00:05]What do I do?

[00:00:06]>> Easy, get more guy friends.

[00:00:08]What?

[00:00:09]>> According to a study, copulation frequency in humans is positively associated with the number of potential male rivals, but this relationship is moderated by the perceived attractiveness of the female partner.

[00:00:19]>> So, if my boyfriend thinks I'm a baddie and I have a lot of guy friends, he's going to be a freak in the sheets several times a week.

[00:00:25]>> Science couldn't have said it better, bestie. The study's co-author, Todd K.

[00:00:28]Shackelford, also said the reason they specifically predicted this is cuz there's a huge amount of non-human literature showing that male animals, like mice or rats, become very interested in having sex with their partner when they see their partner interacting with other males. He says they don't even have to see them having sex with other males. It's just the presence.

[00:00:47]>> Okay, Todd K. Shackelford.

[00:00:49]>> Shackelford me, daddy.

[00:00:51]>> He really was like, "Wow, I'm feeling hella jealous of my IG baddie's besties.

[00:00:54]I need a scientific explanation for this."

[00:00:56]>> Giving us the keys to the kingdom, shackle dad.

[00:00:59]>> away the keys.

[00:01:00]>> The lead study's author, Michael Pham, says, "A lot of work shows that men are sexually aroused by their partner when they estimate a greater likelihood of partner infidelity." He says it's human nature. We need to be reminded that our partner's valuable to us and desirable to us. This makes us keep working at maintaining relationship satisfaction.

[00:01:17]Finding that right balance of inducing your partner's jealousy will optimize a couple's sex life.

[00:01:23]>> god, he really said that? He did, tea.

[00:01:25]Okay, Michael Pham.

[00:01:27]>> Phamster, go off.

[00:01:29]>> We like him a little toxic.

[00:01:30]>> Is it toxic or is it just science?

[00:01:32]>> What's the difference?

[00:01:33]>> Oddly, the study did show that if your partner didn't really find you very attractive, it had no effect on sexual frequency.

[00:01:39]>> I'm sorry, may that love never find me.

[00:01:41]Who's going to be in a relationship with you if they don't find you attractive?

[00:01:44]>> Right? I really hope that Phamster and Shackledaddy warned those girlies to get out.

[00:01:48]>> Run away.

[00:01:49]>> have plenty of guy friends and he's not mate guarding you, dump him, bestie.

[00:01:54]>> If he's not slamming your jacks, get out of there.

[00:01:59]>> not blanking you, then bonk him out of your life.

[00:02:04]>> not womping your your bomping, be gone.

[00:02:10]>> not If he's not sticking it to you, don't stick around. If he's not snoo snoo, you you give him a boo boo. If he's not >> not If he's not take taking you to In-N-Out town, get out of town.

[00:02:28]>> not Windexing your window, Oh, that works. That works. That That works. Then, put him in the closet.
