60 % right? Not bad! I will strive for that number.
Concerning emotionality, I don't deny that females are more emotional than males. But I don't think there is any particular link between emotionality and sexual inhibition. I can use my current favorite example Aella. I think Aella seem to be rather low in emotionality. Not unlike myself…

I can use my current favorite example Aella. I think Aella seem to be rather low in emotionality. Not unlike myself. Still Aella is convinced that everyone wants to have sex with an STI-free backpacker given enough time, while I am equally convinced that every human being, however STI-free, will always gross me out a tiny bit if I don't get a large chunk of time to get used to him.
From my limited experience of people I would almost claim the opposite. I know at least one highly emotional woman who had a rather wild sexual life with different more or less unknown partners in her 20ies. But no, I don't believe in there is a link. Being emotional and being shy/easily disgusted are different things.

So n = 3? Well if we're interested, we can easily invoke differences in Extraversion and Honesty-Humility, as well as mind-bending quantities of LSD and traumatic childhood experiences experienced by at least a third of the sample. But if you don't mind problems from cherry-picked samples, you might manage to reach n = 5 if you include:
> I dunno, doesn't "Sawed, planed, and sanded thinking" seem closer to 90%?
That motto is far too ambitious, so we dropped it quite a while ago.
Especially "sanded" sounds ridiculously overambitious.
> n=3
I think that in order to find answers, we first need to ask questions. And I think the question "why do people choose not to have sex with people they find attractive" is a question that is very little asked. We have no idea if people who are easily disgusted like casual sex less, for example. As far as I know, no one asked people about their emotional reluctance to have casual sex and made them take a personality test at the same time.
Three anecdotes doesn't make up a study. But three anecdotes is a very small beginning to start formulating the questions for something that could eventually become a study.
And thank you for the links. As a rule I read every book I find by people in the sex trade, so I will get that Maggie McNeil book too.

Emotionality and Extroversion/Introversion are orthogonal traits. Nonetheless, Disgust sensitivity does correlate modestly with Emotionality. Check here for a typical study on disgust as it relates to personality: https://psyarxiv.com/dymqk/download/?format=pdf Or also here: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54e0f3f4e4b093f6b2b491a0/t/54f7044ae4b0aff87aee451f/1425474634118/Tybur+De+Vries+HEXACO+TDDS.pdf
Plus this: Personality and sexuality (this popped up browsing for disgust) at https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-84371-001
And my favorite: Smart teens don't have sex much (or kiss much either) at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1054139X99000610
