An average woman can probably consume as much meaningless sex as she wants without too much effort

Is this actually true? Seriously appealing for evidence either way. (I have a pet theory that we overestimate how attractive the "average woman" is for Reasons.)

Survey data on sexual behavior:

http://www.iub.edu/~kinsey/resources/FAQ.html

It doesn't tell us about voluntary vs. involuntary abstinence, but it does have information about frequency, etc. Men are more likely to have had sex in the last year then women, but young women are slightly more likely to have had sex in the last year then young men.
