Quote 1:
Treating sex as a cultural variable is thus misleading and suggests an inflated image of the amount of variance it typically explains, especially when compared to a ??true?? cultural variable like ethnicity.

Communication Quarterly, Aug2015, Vol. 53 Issue 3, p265-283
Quote 2:
Men have reported that their cross-sex friends give them the opportunity to behave in a more ??feminine?? manner than would be acceptable with their same-sex friends, and women feel that they can be more competitive with their cross-sex friends than with their same-sex friends.

Quote 3:
There appeared to be some slight differences related to the sex of the dyad: male/male dyads said very little about their appearance, feelings, or home life while the female/female dyads spent more time talking about each of these topics. Males also seemed to talk more about entertainment oriented items, e.g., sporting events and rock concerts, than did the other dyadic types. Page 257 –Ayres, Joe. Relationship Stages and Sex as Factors in Topic Dwell Time. Western Journal of Speech Communication: WJSC, Summer1980, Vol. 44 Issue 3, p253-260
Quote 4:
While men reported more favorable attitudes concerning the FWBR [friends with benefits relationships] and framed it as more appropriate, nevertheless, the current study provides no support for the idea that at least from an interpersonal benefits standpoint (e.g., satisfaction, investment, closeness), that men benefit more from participation in a FWBR than do women. Page 342 –Green, Katie J.; Morman, Mark T.. The Perceived Benefits of the Friends with Benefits Relationship Human Communication, 2011, Vol. 14 Issue 4, p327-346
