Resumen

AMARO, Helena Delgado; ALVAREZ, Maria-João  y  FERREIRA, Joaquim Armando. Manifestation of the Sexual Double Standard in Western Societies (2011-2017): A Scoping Review. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2021, n.124, pp.53-78.  Epub 30-Abr-2021. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.11509.

This scoping review synthetizes research published between 2011 and 2017 (n = 46), that aimed to analyse emergencies and variations of the Sexual Double Standard (SDS) in western societies. A consistent emergence of the SDS is observed in the evaluation of different sexual contexts/behaviours. There is also evidence of positive (egalitarian, liberal) and negative (egalitarian and conservative, and reversed) alternative sexual standards. The emergence of the SDS and the variation with negative standards indicates that, in western societies, (hetero)sexual experience is marked by gender inequality and by restrictive and punitive sexual standards. Also, because these standards may limit sexual autonomy and men’s and women’s access to a positive sexuality, they must be deconstructed and replaced by others that are more equitable.

Palabras clave : gender; sexual behaviour; sexual double standard; sexuality.
