FoMO, or Fear of Missing Out, could also stand for Fear of Missing Orgasms. FoMO is intrinsically linked to anxiety about missing a possible opportunity for sex, a spicy new study has confirmed. “Among American adults, we found that higher levels of FoMO were associated with a greater desire to seek out short-term sex partners,” the study’s co-author said.
They cited previous scholarly research showing that “adults expressing greater FoMO also display qualities that map onto short-term mating proclivities… such as greater sexual risk-taking, interpersonal antagonism and promiscuity.” Researchers found that participants who had higher scores on the 9-item “Sociosexual Orientation Inventory” generally scored higher on the “Fear of Missing Out Scale.” They said: “Heightened expression of FoMO was related to short-term mating effort in the form of greater unrestricted sociosexual behavior and desires.”
