Sexual feelings and behaviors in adolescents: differences and similarities in two cultures, Spain and Colombia. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.4, pp.202-212.

This work aims to identify gender differences in sexual behaviors and feelings between adolescents living in Spain and Colombia. A total of 508 participants from secondary schools, 270 from Spain and 238 from Colombia, took part in this study. The age of the participants ranged from 15 and 18 years. The results showed a double standard for men and women, both in Spain and Colombia, especially in relation to sexual feelings rather than on sexual behavior.

Keywords : adolescence; sexual feelings; sexual behaviors; gender; culture.
