Let us know how the ovulation cycle impacts tips please.

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

tl;dr:

Normally cycling participants earned about US$335 per 5-h shift during estrus, US$260 per shift during the luteal phase, and US$185 per shift during menstruation. By contrast, participants using contraceptive pills showed no estrous earnings peak.

Note: the sample was 'professional lap dancers' working at 'gentlemen's clubs', not a smattering of all tipped positions like I was wondering about.

Sample size was like 18, self reported where they were as far as ovulation (which, yeah, the vast majority of women have no fucking clue) over 60 days.

Someone run this through G*Power for me, Jesus Christ.

Also, humans don’t have ‘estrus.’ This is like basically someone’s weird fetish pretending to be science.
