The following was a real experiment:
“Would You Go To Bed With Me Tonight?”
"If you were a man walking across the campus of Florida State University in 1978, an attractive young woman might have approached you and said these exact words: "I have been noticing you around campus. I find you to be attractive. Would you go to bed with me tonight?"
If you were that man, you probably would have thought that you had just gotten incredibly lucky. But not really. You were actually an unwitting subject in an experiment designed by the psychologist Russell Clark.
Clark had persuaded the students of his social psychology class to help him find out which gender, in a real-life situation, would be more receptive to a sexual offer from a stranger. The only way to find out, he figured, was to actually get out there and see what would happen. So young men and women from his class fanned out across campus and began propositioning strangers.
The results weren't very surprising. Seventy-five percent of guys were happy to oblige an attractive female stranger (and those who said no typically offered an excuse such as, "I'm married"). But not a single woman accepted the identical offer of an attractive male. In fact, most of them demanded the guy leave her alone.
At first the psychological community dismissed Clark's experiment as a trivial stunt, but gradually his experiment gained first acceptance, and then praise for how dramatically it revealed the differing sexual attitudes of men and women. Today it's considered a classic. But why men and women display such different attitudes remains as hotly debated as ever."

As a realist, if I was a female, I think I would do the same. Men are physically stronger and there is some danger to being with someone you don't know, where men may have little less to worry about with some exceptions like psychos and unwanted pregnancy.
My question is how much of this is just what I mentioned prior, and how much is that it's just not a turn on to have anonymous sex with a stranger?
In other words, is this scenario a turn on, but safety makes one say, I'd really love to do that, but the risk is too high, or is it that the scenario just isn't appealing in and of itself?
This is an old experiment OP~ but the debate on it is really quite enlightening. If I can find the link I'll post it~ from Psychology Today.
Sweet Melissa is pretty accurate~ IMO. Women can go basically anywhere and get sex [amongst many other things] for free. Anytime, anywhere. However~ anonymous sex with strangers pertaining to this experiment has a lot to do with the difference in our biological wiring and primal instinct. Combined with the fact that a woman generally will never pay for sex in her lifetime where as a man would. She can say no all the time~ it will always be around her. Men~ not so much. Opportunity knocks~ they'll answer. Or create opportunity. The male is the hunter.
Men are bigger, stronger and more sexually aggressive. Testosterone~ huge influence. A man is wired to hunt and impregnate or have sex with as many women as he possibly can in his lifetime. He doesn't have the fear factor women do. Or risk of pregnancy.
Bottom line: appealing to men and safety is not a concern. Danger~ and sex. They love it. Women~ not so much. Sex is everywhere, just like air. She is able to be more picky. The whole anonymous sex thing is not appealing to her. Plus the opportunity will always be knocking. We give the green light. Men wait for it.
