Abstract
This research utilizes an experimental design to investigate how participants view individuals engaging in same-sex and cross-sex casual sexual encounters, in terms of promiscuity and appropriateness. The study included 348 participants, all between ages 18 and 25 years, who were randomly assigned to one of four vignettes. Consistent with the double standard for sexual behavior, results indicated significant differences in appropriateness ratings for gender, where men's cross-sex casual sexual encounters were rated as more appropriate than those of women. In contrast, no gender differences emerged for same-sex sexual behaviors for appropriateness and promiscuity. Discussion focuses on the implications of these findings for bisexual individuals.
