Comparación de los componentes del Interpersonal Exchange Model of Sexual Satisfaction entre distintas tipologías de adhesión al doble estándar sexual

Abstract

Background/Objective: Sexual double standard (SDS) that is favorable to man have been negatively associated with sexual satisfaction. However, to date there are no studies examining the relationship between the SDS and components of the Interpersonal Exchange Model of Sexual Satisfaction (IEMSS). This paper set out to examine differences in IEMSS components between SDS adherence typologies (i.e., man-favorable, woman-favorable, and egalitarian) for sexual freedom and sexual shyness. Method: A total of 1,165 heterosexual adults (594 men and 571 women) participated by answering the Spanish versions of the Interpersonal Exchange Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Sexual Double Standard Scale. Results: Men had higher scores on the component of equality of sexual rewards in the egalitarian typology compared to the man-favorable typology in the domain of sexual freedom. Women had higher scores on equality of sexual costs component in the egalitarian typology compared to the man-favorable typology in the domain of sexual shyness. Conclusions: These findings, which associate the egalitarian typology with higher levels of sexual satisfaction, suggest considering the SDS adherence typology in the analysis of heterosexual couples' sexual satisfaction. RESUMENAntecedentes/Objetivos: El doble estándar sexual (DES) favorable al hombre se ha asociado negativamente a la satisfacción sexual. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha no existen estudios que examinen la relación entre el DES y los componentes del Interpersonal Exchange Model of Sexual Satisfaction (IEMSS). Este trabajo planteó examinar las diferencias en los componentes del IEMSS entre las tipologías de adhesión al DES (i.e., favorable al hombre, favorable a la mujer e igualitaria) para libertad y recato sexual. Método: Participaron 1.165 adultos heterosexuales (594 hombres y 571 mujeres) contestando las versiones españolas del Interpersonal Exchange Sexual Satisfacction Questionaire y de la Sexual Double Standard Scale. Resultados: En los hombres se observaron puntuaciones más altas en el componente de igualdad de beneficios sexuales en la tipología igualitaria en comparación con la favorable al hombre, en el ámbito de la libertad sexual. Las mujeres presentaron puntuaciones más elevadas en el componente de igualdad de costes sexuales en la tipología igualitaria en comparación con la favorable al hombre, en el ámbito del recato sexual. Conclusiones: Estos hallazgos, que asocian la tipología igualitaria a mayores niveles de satisfacción sexual, sugieren considerar la tipología de adhesión al DES en el análisis de la satisfacción sexual de parejas heterosexuales.

Sexual Rewards and Costs in Heterosexual and Gay Hispanic Adults

“…From a gender perspective, sexual complacency may be due to an existing asymmetry of power in couples and is more frequent between men and women. Likewise, it should be noted that the women who support a double sexual standard present less autonomy, sexual assertiveness, and sexual satisfaction [50][51][52][53]. On the other hand, it is observed that gay men are the ones who report more exchanges as reward and cost compared to the rest of the groups.…”

Validation of the Multidimensional Model of the Subjective Orgasm Experience in the Context of Masturbation

“…Taken together, these results suggest that sexual concordance would not be associated with the orgasmic sensory dimension during masturbation. Future research should more specifically test this hypothesis by considering variables related to traditional sexual scripts (Bonilla-Algobia & Rivas-Rivero, 2022) and sexual double standard (Álvarez-Muelas et al, 2022(Álvarez-Muelas et al, , 2023. Moreover, there are no differences between men and women in most measures of sexual arousal.…”
