Sociosexuality can be defined as an individual preference to be engaged in sexual activities outside of a committed relationship. An individual who is highly restricted in sociosexual orientation is likely to be less engaged in casual sex in comparison to a more unrestricted person.
<u>According to studies on sociosexuality, people who score high on sociosexuality are likely to find attractive mating partners and low scorers are likely to find traits related to parenting behaviors. </u>
