“…As evidenced by previous studies (Arcos-Romero & Sierra, 2019;Carreno et al, 2020;Sierra et al, 2018), there were no differences in the answers obtained by both methods. The participants using the paper and pencil format answered in small groups or individually in classrooms, foundations, and community centers.…”

Sexual double standard (SDS) involves evaluating the same sexual behaviors in men and women using different criteria. The support for man-favorable SDS is related to sexual aggression and sexual victimization. Yet to date, studies have not examined the prevalence of SDS adherence. This study aims to identify the prevalence per gender and age of the Spanish population who adheres to the SDS typologies (man-favorable, woman-favorable, egalitarian, ambivalent) by considering sexual freedom and sexual shyness areas. A sample of 2,002 Spanish heterosexual adults (50% men, 50% women), distributed into four age groups (18-25, 26-35, 36-55 and over 55 years old), answered the Sexual Double Standard Scale. The results showed differences in the prevalence of SDS typologies by gender and age. By gender, a higher prevalence of the man-favorable typology was observed in men and a higher prevalence of the egalitarian typology and the woman-favorable typology was observed in women. By age groups, significant differences in man-favorable and womanfavorable typologies were found in both men and women. Based on the evidence of four adherence to SDS typologies, it is recommended studying the relation of these typologies with sexual aggression/victimization to design more efficient programs for prevention and intervention of sexual violence.

“…According to Muñiz, Elosua, and Hambleton (2013 ), it is essential to confirm that a measurement instrument allows for the comparison of scores across different population groups. Based on this statement, the factorial invariance of the Spanish version of the SOS-6 was observed between men and women, among people of different ages, between people with and of sexual health, such as attitudes toward sexual fantasies ( Arcos-Romero, Calvillo, & Sierra, 2019 ), subjective orgasm experience ( Arcos-Romero & Sierra, 2019 ), sexual satisfaction ( Calvillo, Sánchez-Fuentes, Parrón, & Sierra, 2019 ) or the double sexual standard ( Álvarez Muelas, Gómez Berrocal, Vallejo-Medina, & Sierra, 2019 ), the short Spanish version of the SOS-6 presents adequate psychometric properties that allow for valid comparisons of the construct among individuals with different characteristics, thus minimizing evaluation bias ( Muñiz & Fonseca-Pedrero, 2019 ).…”

The aim of this work was to provide validity evidences of the short Spanish version of the Sexual Opinion Survey (SOS-6). First, a psychometric study was performed to examine the factorial invariance of the scale across different groups. A sample of 1,500 heterosexual adults (50% men, 50% women) from the general Spanish population, aged 18 to 80, was examined. Results showed that the unidimensional model of the SOS-6 is invariant across sex, age range, relationship status, and educational level. Secondly, a laboratory study was performed to determine the relationship between erotophilia and objective and subjective sexual arousal in response to sexual stimuli. The sample consisted of 130 young Spanish university students (46.92% men, 53.08% women) with heterosexual orientation. In men, erotophilia was related to subjective sexual arousal; in women, erotophilia was related to subjective sexual arousal and estimation of genital sensations. In conclusion, this work provides validity evidences of the short version of the SOS-6 and describes the factorial equivalence of the scale across groups and its concurrent validity.

“…Age negatively predicted sexual satisfaction, which coincided with the results reported in previous studies ( Tren and Schaller, 2010 ; De Ryck et al, 2012 ; Sánchez-Fuentes and Sierra, 2015 ; Træen et al, 2017 ; Wyverkens et al, 2018 ). Sexual interest diminished as age increased ( Gott and Hinchliff, 2003 ), as did frequency of sexual activity, while sexual dysfunctions increased ( Addis et al, 2006 ; Sierra et al, 2012 ; Arcos-Romero and Sierra, 2019 ). All these sexuality aspects have been associated with sexual satisfaction ( Badcock et al, 2014 ; Sánchez-Fuentes et al, 2014 , 2016 ; Thomas et al, 2015 ; Calvillo et al, 2018 , 2020a ).…”

Study of Sexual Satisfaction in Different Typologies of Adherence to the Sexual Double Standard

The sexual double standard (SDS) refers to the acceptance of different criteria to assess the same sexual behavior in men and women. To date, the few studies that have addressed the relationship between SDS and sexual satisfaction have obtained inconclusive results. In addition, no study has analyzed sexual satisfaction in people who maintain different forms of adherence to the SDS. This study establishes three SDS typologies of adherence (man-favorable, woman-favorable, egalitarian) in two areas of sexual behavior (sexual freedom and sexual shyness) to examine the predictive capacity of personal variables (age, social dominance orientation, propensity for sexual excitation/inhibition), interpersonal variables (relationship satisfaction) and social variables (gender norms about sexual behaviors) in sexual satisfaction. A sample of 1194 heterosexual adults (51.1% men, 48.8% women) aged between 18 and 87 years (M = 40.63; SD = 15.67), who had been in a relationship for more than 6 months, was evaluated. In men, the highest sexual satisfaction levels were obtained in the egalitarian typology in the sexual freedom area. In women, no significant differences were found between the typologies of adherence to the SDS. Regression models showed that relationship satisfaction was the main predictor of sexual satisfaction in all the typologies in both men and women. In addition, the predictive relationship of personal variables with sexual satisfaction varied according to gender and the SDS adherence type. The results show the importance of studying sexual satisfaction by taking into account not only the differences between men and women. Furthermore, it is essential to consider other differences between people; for example, the difference that derives from the way of psychologically internalizing attitude toward the SDS.
