“…Contrary to prior research (Armstrong et al, 2020; Hall et al, 2020; Longest & Uecker, 2018; Vasilenko & Espinosa‐Hernández, 2019), reference group theory, and our predictions, religious service attendance was not associated with recent oral sex at the within‐person level. One possible explanation for this lack of association is that some students, particularly religious students, may view oral sex as a sexual behavior that does not compromise their virginity.…”

“…Contrary to our predictions and reference group theory, religious service attendance was not associated with condom use at the person or semester levels. Prior research has been inconsistent in demonstrating associations between religious behaviors and condom use (Armstrong et al, 2020;Luquis et al, 2012Luquis et al, , 2015Smith & Snell, 2009). We predicted that more religious service attendance would be associated with less frequent condom use because some Judeo-Christian religions prohibit condom use or do not discuss birth control (Francis et al, 2009).…”

“…Although limited research has considered religious service attendance in particular, some cross‐sectional research has assessed religious behaviors more generally, with similarly mixed results. Some research did not find associations between college students' religious behaviors and condom use (Luquis et al, 2012, 2015), whereas other research found that students who engage in more religious behaviors use condoms less during penetrative sex (Armstrong et al, 2020; Zaleski & Schiaffino, 2000). These mixed results may reflect the fact that prior research did not differentiate within‐ and between‐person associations, which could lead to confounds with other stable, person‐level variables.…”

Longitudinal data are critical for examining associations of religiosity with sexual behaviors and motivations during college. We use hierarchical linear modeling on five semesters of data from a diverse sample of college students (N = 735) to examine within‐ and between‐person associations between religious service attendance and importance of religion and sexual behaviors and motivations for and against sex and consider gender as a moderator. Between‐person religiosity was associated with sexual behaviors and motivations whereas within‐person religiosity was not. Students' sexual motivations co‐varied across semesters with their religious service attendance and importance of religion. Our results indicated more restrictive associations between religiosity and sexual motivations for women than for men.

“…The women’s movement and other progressive social movements have traditionally been committed to foster gender equality by condemning, among other issues, gender inequalities regarding sexual behavior and interpersonal relationships by advocating sexual freedom and equality. Therefore, double standards about social attitudes and expectations toward the sexual behavior of men and women and its consequences in terms of gender differences have been widely examined and challenged ( Kreager and Staff, 2009 ; Lyons et al, 2011 ; Dunn et al, 2014 ; Zaikman and Marks, 2014 ; Rios-González et al, 2018 ; Armstrong et al, 2020 ; Duque et al, 2020 ; Kim, 2020 ; Álvarez-Muelas et al, 2021 ). Feminist theories ( Beauvoir, 1949 ; Greer, 1970 ) have condemned the sexist myth of the warrior’s rest that positions women as passive sexual objects, subject to their partners’ dominance and dependence.…”

Making Choices in Discourse: New Alternative Masculinities Opposing the “Warrior’s Rest”

et al. 2021

Psychology research on men studies, attractiveness, and partner preferences has evolved from the influence of sociobiological perspectives to the role of interactions in shaping election toward sexual–affective relationships and desire toward different kinds of masculinities. However, there is a scientific gap in how language and communicative acts among women influence the kind of partner they feel attracted to and in the reproduction of relationship double standards, like the myth of the “warrior’s rest” where female attractiveness to “bad boys” is encouraged or supported. Some women imitate “the warrior” behavior of men by choosing dominant traditional masculinities (DTM) to have “fun” with and oppressed traditional masculinities (OTM) for “rest” after the “fun” with DTM—choosing an OTM for a stable relationship, but perhaps without passion, while also feeling attraction toward DTM, a response which perpetuates the chauvinist double standard that the feminist movement has condemned when men behave in this sexist way. Through conducting a qualitative study with communicative daily life stories, this article explores, on the one hand, how language and social interaction among women can lead to the reproduction of the DTM role by women and, on the other hand, also how new alternative masculinities (NAM) offer an alternative by explicitly rejecting, through the language of desire, to be the rest for the female warrior, the second fiddle to any woman. This has the potential to become a highly attractive alternative to DTM. Findings provide new knowledge through the analysis of communicative acts and masculinities evidencing the importance of language uses in the reproduction of the double standards in gender relations and to understand how and why these practices are maintained and which kind of language uses can contribute to preventing them. Implications for research and interventions on preventive socialization of gender violence are discussed.

“…This is what Marx and Engel called the pattern of materialist determinism. According to Mark and Engel, in the household, the husband is a reflection of the bourgeoisie and the wife as the proletariat (B.Kathryn, 2021;Joslyn et al, 2021;Foucault, 1999).…”
