Disgust sensitivity is linked to a sexual double standard, study finds (www.psypost.org)

A new study provides evidence that negative attitudes toward sexually expressive people may apply to adults of all ages, rather than being a bias specifically aimed at older adults. The research also suggests that an individual’s sensitivity to disgust can influence these judgments differently depending on whether they are evaluating a man or a woman. The findings were published in The Journal of Sex Research.

So what this study shows is that women need to be open about their sexuality to put off the people who find them disgusting, unless they want to settle for that type of person.

There’s one kind of sex that I find truly disgusting - that my parents did it. Yech!
