''Sexual and Relationship Therapy, 19''(2), 1468-1479</ref> He argues that women have high plasticity, meaning that their sex drive can more easily change in response to external pressures. On the other hand, men have low plasticity, and therefore have sex drives that are relatively inflexible. ==Controversy== Baumeister has made numerous comments that have been criticized as misogynistic. He has stated that "All over the world and throughout history, the contributions of large groups of women to cultural progress have been vanishingly small."<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Baumeister |first1=Roy F. |title=Sexual Economics |journal=Society for Personality and Social Psychology |volume=8 |issue=4}}</ref> He has argued that women have collaborated to create a sexual [[cartel]], in which men must offer women something such as financial support, or long-termm companionship, in exchange for sex.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Baumeister |first1=Roy F. |title=Sexual Economics |journal=Society for Personality and Social Psychology |volume=8 |issue=4}}</ref> Furthermore, he has stated that women [[slut-shame]] other to prevent men from getting sex too easily which would destroy the monopoly. He has stated that [[feminist]] attacks on [[pornography]] and [[prostitution]] are motivated by a desire to prevent men from getting sexual satisfaction outside of long term relationships.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Baumeister |first1=Roy F. |title=Sexual Economics |journal=Society for Personality and Social Psychology |volume=8 |issue=4}}</ref. ==Works== | |||
