There is some possibility that in addition to the other answers there
is a cascade affect. If some females respond by having sex, others may
copy. There is evidence that females in other species copy each
other's matings decisions. That might happen in humans as well.

With regard to Mr. Dickens' comment regarding whether stress should cause
sexual arousal, I am tempted to think that evolutionary psychology can
certainly explain this phenomenon. Early societies, according to most models
of human development, used the males as hunters and warriors; female
