The lack of consistent evidence for the sexual double standard may be related to the rather benign nature of the heterosexual behaviors often studied (e.g., casual sex, premarital sex). College students from the southwestern U.S. evaluated targets who engaged in mixed-gender threesomes (where three people engage in simultaneous sexual acts; Study 1: N∈=∈120) and targets in a monogamous sexual relationship (Study 2: N∈=∈105). Evidence for the sexual double standard was found via effects of targets' gender among those who engaged in threesomes. Targets who had monogamous sex were evaluated more favorably than the targets who engaged in threesomes. We suggest that the sexual double standard may still exist for uncommon sexual behaviors. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

Abstract
The lack of consistent evidence for the sexual double standard may be related to the rather benign nature of the heterosexual behaviors often studied (e.g., casual sex, premarital sex). College students from the southwestern U.S. evaluated targets who engaged in mixed-gender threesomes (where three people engage in simultaneous sexual acts; Study 1: N∈=∈120) and targets in a monogamous sexual relationship (Study 2: N∈=∈105). Evidence for the sexual double standard was found via effects of targets' gender among those who engaged in threesomes. Targets who had monogamous sex were evaluated more favorably than the targets who engaged in threesomes. We suggest that the sexual double standard may still exist for uncommon sexual behaviors. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.Pubblicazioni consigliate
