The study performed in this article tested the double standard that says sex is a goal for men and women set sexual limits if they want commitment from men. A group was studied to determine their opinions on casual sex and sexual intercourse in committed relationships. Overall, the study revealed that the effect of emotion played more of a role in the sexual interactions than gender did. It also determined that men tend to be more accepting of casual sex and less judgmental about the people involved than women are. Gender also played a role in the study when women and men both agreed that men use women in casual sexual relationships. However, men say this is a “common situation.” In contrast, women felt a great amount of anger towards males who partake in these types of relationships.
