In two pre-registered experiments with German samples, we tested the role of endorsement of the Madonna-whore-dichotomy and the relationship context (sex in a committed relationship vs. casual sex) in the devaluation of women’s sexual pleasure. Using the context of dating apps in Study 1, men who reported higher endorsement of the Madonna-whore-dichotomy believed that other men would be less interested in fulfilling a woman’s sexual desires, show her less respect, and be less likely to wear a condom independent of relationship context (i.e., casual hookup dating app vs. a dating app for a serious relationship). In Study 2, men who reported higher endorsement of the Madonna-whore-dichotomy rated their partner as less entitled to sexual pleasure than men lower on Madonna-whore dichotomy endorsement. In addition, women who reported higher endorsement of the Madonna-whore dichotomy devalued their own pleasure by rating their partner as more entitled to sexual pleasure than themselves, compared to those lower on the Madonna-whore dichotomy. Although relationship context and Madonna-whore dichotomy endorsement did not interact, they were both found to negatively predict women’s sexual pleasure. These results provide further support for the potential costs of enacting traditional, patriarchal gender roles for women’s experiences of sexual pleasure and safety.

在两个预先注册的德国样本实验中，我们测试了麦当娜-妓女二分法的认可和关系背景（承诺关系中的性行为与随意性行为）在女性性快感贬值中的作用。使用研究 1 中的约会应用程序背景，对麦当娜-妓女二分法表示较高认可的男性认为，其他男性对满足女性的性欲不太感兴趣，对她表现出较少的尊重，并且不太可能戴安全套独立于关系背景（即，休闲交友约会应用程序与严肃关系的约会应用程序）。在研究 2 中，对麦当娜-妓女二分法认可度较高的男性认为，他们的伴侣比对麦当娜-妓女二分法认可度较低的男性更没有资格获得性快感。此外，与那些对麦当娜-妓女二分法持较低认可度的女性相比，那些对麦当娜-妓女二分法认可度较高的女性认为自己的伴侣比自己更有资格获得性快感，从而贬低了自己的快乐。尽管关系背景和麦当娜-妓女二分法认可没有相互作用，但它们都被发现对女性的性快感有负面预测。这些结果进一步支持了为女性的性快感和安全体验制定传统的父权性别角色的潜在成本。研究发现它们都对女性的性快感有负面影响。这些结果进一步支持了为女性的性快感和安全体验制定传统的父权性别角色的潜在成本。研究发现它们都对女性的性快感有负面影响。这些结果进一步支持了为女性的性快感和安全体验制定传统的父权性别角色的潜在成本。
