Conventional thinking has been that the more men in a community, the more pressure they will exert on women for sexual access. It doesn't seem to work that way. The economic model says that the minority sex sets the rules.
Looking at college campuses, where the men outnumbered the women, "A “patriarchy model” would predict that if men were the majority on campus they’d create pressure for casual sex through coercion or intimidation- but we see the opposite pattern. When men are the majority women have less casual sex.
Where the women outnumbered the men, "hetero sex-women who are minority on campus more likely to be virgins, even if they had boyfriends- it was as if they said “I’d rather not have sex yet & if you don’t like it there are plenty of other guys to choose from”
