The notable findings are as follow: First, compared to married women, married men have lower sexual equality and marital sexual autonomy and are more tolerant of infidelity. Second, for women over the age of 45, sexual autonomy between spouses has been proven to be a important characteristic of making the perception of sexual equality critical of affair.
