South Island Gynecologist, Dr Albert Makary's claim that women in New Zealand were changing their sex partners at a higher rate in comparison to the men signified immorality was opposed by Auckland University sexuality researcher Pantea Farvid.
As per Dr. Pantea Farvid, a leading expert on casual sex, there was nothing wrong in women going for casual sex and that Dr. Makary was trying to stress on age-old double standards about sex, by claiming that women had no rights to seek for sexual pleasure like men did.
Moreover, Dr, Makary had asked to organize a national campaign against undiscriminating sexual behavior misused by women, on the basis of a Durex Sex Survey commenced by him. Dr. Farvid had commenced a 6-year study on casual sex psychology among men and women. She stressed on the fact that even women could facilitate casual sex without being stated as prostitutes. As per Dr. Farvid, "The women that I interviewed weren't looking for love through casual sex. It was about having fun or having sex when they felt like it - it was never a strategic tool to get a boyfriend". Moreover, the analysis made by Dr. Makary were based on the conventional beliefs on casual sex called as bad sex, was always assumed in a negative aspect when related to women.
