Men regret passing up the chance more than women.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Men enjoy casual sex considerably more, but this doesn\u2019t explain the gender difference in regret, because gender is the most important influencing factor for both orgasm probability and sexual regret after casual sex.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mol-factbox-title\">DOES SIZE MATTER FOR CASUAL SEX?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Women prefer a larger penis for a one-night-stand than for a long-term relationship, a study in December found.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But even the &#8216;smaller&#8217; option is bigger than the national averages in the US and Britain, scientists discovered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Contrary to received wisdom, the study also showed overwhelmingly that &#8211; although women prefer slightly bigger than average penises &#8211; they are more concerned with girth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">They are  less happy about the experience &#8211; mainly due to their worries of pregnancy, STIs and getting a bad reputation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">While it is conceivable that women feel more regret due to them not achieving as much sexual pleasure, evolution could also be to blame, with men and women both having varying attitudes towards sex.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The researchers pointed to the fact that, theoretically, men can father thousands of children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This was used frequently in the past to boost the chances of having children that would survive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But this meant that the quality of their sexual partner is compromised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The researchers believe this has caused many males to care only about the number of sexual opportunities possible to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, women are more focused on quality partners. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p>            <!-- ad: http:\/\/mads.dailymail.co.uk\/v2\/us\/health\/none\/article\/other\/inread_player.html --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"social-links-title\">Share or comment on this article<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"bigLinks sc-icns cleared\">\n<li class=\"facebook\">\n<p>                                    <span class=\"wai\">e-mail<\/span><br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"share\" id=\"shareLinkBottom\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"social-stats social-stats-pipe\" id=\"shareCountBottom\">\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"addCommentButton\" class=\"add-comment\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>            <!-- NOTE: WARNING: render-partial is a function --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels\">\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/01\/18\/15\/3C3E3B8200000578-0-image-a-52_1484755189685.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">EXCLUSIVE: Wynn Las Vegas removes all\u00a0Tom Ford beauty&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/01\/18\/19\/3C3F631300000578-0-image-a-11_1484768472246.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">&#8216;Justice has been served&#8217;: Obama defies storm of criticism&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/01\/18\/20\/3C3F6EF900000578-0-image-m-16_1484771114580.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">Obama uses his final press conference to issue extraordinary&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/01\/17\/16\/3C35E89F00000578-0-image-a-19_1484669547107.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">&#8216;Why would you abandon America?&#8217;
