Sexuality Standards and Erotphobia/Erotophilia
People who require more love and commitment prior to sex score as more erotophobic (have more negative affective reactions to sexually related material) on the Sexual Opinion Survey then those who require less love and commitment prior to the onset of sexual intercourse. This effect held in the Oklahoma sample (r =.37, p < .01) and in the Texas Sample (r =.41, p < .01).
| Sexual Opinion Survey Score Means by Sexuality Standard Grouping | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| < Love | Love | > Love | f | df | p | |
| Oklahoma | 71.9a | 65.8b | 49.0c | 6.59 | (2, 74) | 0.002 |
| Texas | 66.7a | 52.9b | 42.7c | 37.04 | (2, 355) | < .0001 |
Note: Means with different subscripts are significantly different using Tukey HSD post hoc comparisons (p < .05).
People who require engagement or marriage prior to sex scored significantly lower on the Sexual Opinion Survey than did those who require only love prior to the onset of sexual relations, who in turn scored significantly lower than those who require friendship or casual acquaintance prior to the onset of sexual intercourse.
Correlations between the Modified Sexuality Standards Scale and the Sexual Opinion Survey.
The correlation between the scores on Modified Sexuality Standards Scale (MSSS) and the Sexual opinion Survey (SOS) was .41 (p < .001) indicating that people who scored as more permissive on the MSSS have less negative affect towards sexuality than those who score as less permissive on the MSSS. Principle components factor analysis of the SOS resulted in 4 factors that represent affective reactions to: Homoeroticism, Promiscuity, Pornography and Homosexuality. The strongest correlations were between the MSSS and affective reactions to promiscuity (r = .58, p < .001) followed by affective reactions to pornography (r = .49, p < .001) followed by affective reactions to homosexuality and homoeroticism (r = .31, p < .01).
