The sexual double standard (SDS) refers to the acceptance of different criteria to assess the same sexual behavior in men and women. To date, the few studies that have addressed the relationship between SDS and sexual satisfaction have obtained inconclusive results. In addition, no study has analyzed sexual satisfaction in people who maintain different forms of adherence to the SDS. This study establishes three SDS typologies of adherence (man-favorable, woman-favorable, egalitarian) in two areas of sexual behavior (sexual freedom and sexual shyness) to examine the predictive capacity of personal variables (age, social dominance orientation, propensity for sexual excitation/inhibition), interpersonal variables (relationship satisfaction) and social variables (gender norms about sexual behaviors) in sexual satisfaction. A sample of 1194 heterosexual adults (51.1% men, 48.8% women) aged between 18 and 87 years ( = 40.63; = 15.67), who had been in a relationship for more than 6 months, was evaluated. In men, the highest sexual satisfaction levels were obtained in the egalitarian typology in the sexual freedom area. In women, no significant differences were found between the typologies of adherence to the SDS. Regression models showed that relationship satisfaction was the main predictor of sexual satisfaction in all the typologies in both men and women. In addition, the predictive relationship of personal variables with sexual satisfaction varied according to gender and the SDS adherence type. The results show the importance of studying sexual satisfaction by taking into account not only the differences between men and women. Furthermore, it is essential to consider other differences between people; for example, the difference that derives from the way of psychologically internalizing attitude toward the SDS.
性双重标准（SDS）指的是在评估男性和女性相同性行为时采用不同标准。迄今为止，少数探讨SDS与性满意度之间关系的研究结果尚无定论。此外，尚无研究分析坚持不同形式SDS的人群的性满意度。本研究在性行为的两个方面（性自由和性羞怯）建立了三种SDS坚持类型（男性有利型、女性有利型、平等型），以检验个人变量（年龄、社会支配取向、性兴奋/抑制倾向）、人际变量（关系满意度）和社会变量（关于性行为的性别规范）对性满意度的预测能力。对1194名年龄在18至87岁之间（平均年龄=40.63岁；标准差=15.67）、恋爱关系持续超过6个月的异性恋成年人样本进行了评估。在男性中，性自由领域的平等型获得了最高的性满意度水平。在女性中，SDS坚持类型之间未发现显著差异。回归模型表明，关系满意度是男性和女性所有类型中性满意度的主要预测因素。此外，个人变量与性满意度的预测关系因性别和SDS坚持类型而异。结果表明，研究性满意度不仅要考虑男女之间的差异很重要。此外，考虑人与人之间的其他差异也至关重要；例如，源于对SDS心理内化方式的差异。
