“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.” –Haruki Murakami

Synopsis

The present research creates an analogue to women's sexual behaviors from an existing literature on women's dieting behaviors. The dieting literature has established that women are unable to maintain their diets during performance of a cognitively demanding task or during related states that may similarly constrain cognitive capacity, e.g., when feeling anxious, depressed, or intoxicated. Presumably, this is because cognitive load serves to reduce the impact of unfeasible social prescriptions (i.e., maintaining society's thin ideal) on behavior by diminishing their association with monitoring of current behaviors.
