Forscher stellen bei der Verwendung von Sextech eine umgekehrte sexuelle Doppelmoral fest: Männer, die sexuelle Technologie nutzen, werden mit größerem Ekel betrachtet als Frauen, die sich auf die gleichen Verhaltensweisen einlassen, eine „umgekehrte sexuelle Doppelmoral“, bei der Männern härtere soziale Strafen für die Nutzung von Geräten wie Sexspielzeug, Chatbots und Robotern drohen.

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:
**Researchers find reverse sexual double standard in sextech use**
A new study published in The Journal of Sex Research has found that **men who use sexual technology are viewed with more disgust than women who engage in the same behaviors. The findings indicate a “reverse sexual double standard” in which men face harsher social penalties for using devices like sex toys, chatbots, and robots**, particularly as the technology becomes more humanlike. This research suggests that deep-seated gender norms continue to influence how society perceives sexual expression and the integration of technology into intimate lives.
People on both ends of the political spectrum see male sexuality as depraved and harmful, especially if pleasure is centered. I call it the gooner horseshoe theory.
Except the women who use sex toys and are dating insecure men who are jealous of an object…
Its not a reverse double standard. It’s a double standard.
When it comes to sex, men face those double standards for most things they do outside of the traditional role. There are even bisexual women who view bi men negatively.
It’s also interesting that smut written by women is seen more favourably than its equivalent for men, even though they can be equally deranged.
That’s not „reverse“.
That’s just a plain old double standard.
No more than you can „reverse racism“ or „reverse sexism“
Claiming such is part of that old nonsense where people pretend that their ingroup can’t be racist or sexist etc by attempting to redefine the concept so it only applies to their outgroup.
Why is this called „reversed“ and not just a double standard? Is the default that men are never shamed for their sexuality? Because that’s definitely not true.
Is this not simply the inverse perspective, essentially the other side of the same coin?
If sexual activity is socially encouraged for men but discouraged for women, this may contribute to a compensatory pattern, where the use of sex toys is more socially accepted or promoted for women, while being less normalized for men, or vice versa?
The results are what they are, I don’t doubt that, but it’s not really a double standard when you view it in context. The overall idea is that for men it’s a compromise, and for women it’s a choice.
And I bet the poster is also a bоt, because there is no such thing as „reverse double standard“
It’s been the same with sex toys as well
What kind of chatbots and robots is people using?
I’ve often envied the vast technology at women’s disposal in this regard
We have double standard double standards now damn
The trick is to not give a damn about what anyone else thinks. Makes life pretty chill. When you end up surrounding yourself with people that respect you, none of this matters.
This is a reflection on how society thinks that men who can’t get women are losers. This isn’t the case with women.
Ah researchers state the obvious, again. Now what to do about it?
This bigotry has become extreme
Isn’t saying „reverse double standard“ a double standard?
It was already true with sex toys, so I’m not really surprised it’s happening again with AI chatbot designed for sexting.
