>>The challenge is that in the case of sex, most people, especially women, don't really want clarity. They want a bit of ambiguity, excitement, the thrill of seduction.

Yup. And that's the reason why things are the way they are: Not only many men, but also many women like it that way.

Still, I think that a not insignificant minority of women have done what I have done, and consciously opted out of hook-ups. Many women have one or two or three hook-ups and then conclude that it wasn't a great concept. Basically, if a big share of women had one hook-up after another and liked it, the average number of sexual partners among heterosexuals would be much more than the 5-10 that studies tend to indicate.

I don't believe those women want to have explicit, autistic-friendly discussions on how to have sex. I just think they are not thrilled by hook-up culture and would like more than a drink or two and some entertaining conversation before they have sex.
