For instance, one thing you didnt take into account is that occationally men have to be much more careful with whom they sleep with because of the person(s) that woman might be connected to, for instance does she have brothers that might "protect" her? A father with shotgun marriage on the mind? A jealous lover that might kill me? etc. Women tend to have more "dangerous" baggage than men (or maybe not, point is there are other factors that equal things out).
As for current theories see these links below. Sexual selection should be most relevant. Women are more insecure because they have more to be insecure about. Theyre eggs take more time and resources to produce, and pregnancy as well.

Anal sex is way more common then you think. Against what bar are you basing anal sex as not being "normal" in the general population? From what I’ve found online on wikipedia, ~17% of the total U.S population are daily smokers, and the percentage of heterosexuals in the U.S who regularly practice anal sex is estimated at between 30% and 50%. (I'm willing to bet the percentage that have
tried it is even much higher)
So there are way more people having anal sex regularly then smoking. (hey that could be the next anti-smoking ad campaign...
). Definitely qualifies for a "normal" classification.
I've never heard of a grown man getting ready to have casual sex with a woman stop and ask himself "oh what if her dad finds out". I don't believe men spend much time at all really worrying about a women's relations or possible jealous lovers when a one night stand is involved for example. So while I'm sure it might cross a guy's mind occasionally, it doesn't really factor in all that heavily. Certainly doesn't seem heavy enough to equal out the risks women are exposed to in the situation.
