Disgust sensitivity predicts sociosexuality across cultures
2022, Evolution and Human BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Sexual behaviors (e.g., kissing, intercourse) carry particularly high rates of exposure and may therefore be riskier when pathogen richness or transmissibility are high. Sexual contact not only increases exposure to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like herpes, syphilis, chlamydia, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but exposure to pathogens transmitted via direct contact of bodily fluids (Halperin & Epstein, 2004; Morris & Kretzschmar, 1997) and skin surfaces as well (Hunt et al., 2017). For example, several enteric, protozoan, and nematode parasites can be easily transferred through sexual activity via fecal-oral interfaces (Abdolrasouli, McMillan, & Ackers, 2009; Shelton, 2004).
