Document Summary
We hold a permissiveness with affection standard: believe sex between unmarried partners is fine as long as it is in committed, caring relationship. Men are more permissive, think casual sex is okay. Women regret their actions, men regret their inactions. There is a sexual double standard with men and women=men with multiple partners are studs, women are sluts. Man with std judged less harshly than woman. In 2010, 52% of americans thought gays/lesbian relations are morally right. People accept it if they believe it is a biological influence that makes someone gay, people don"t accept it if they think it is a choice. 53% percent of americans oppose gay marriage but numbers are falling b/c they are denied legal benefits(health insurance) U. s. holds more conservative views about premarital sex, extramarital sex, and same sex relations than australia, germany, g. b. , israel, russia, sweden and spain.
