Abstract

This work deals with and go deeply in the debate about the presence of a double standard in sexual feelings and behaviors between prepuberal and adolescent boys and girls. Different studies have found a double sexual standard with respect to sexual feelings and behaviors. Recent studies point out that male and female adolescents have the same type and frequency of sexual behaviors, especially when they are older. In addition, diverse approaches offer different explanations for this double standard. Finally, we point out that male and female differences, when they appear, are related to both biological and sociocultural factors.
