Abstract
Participants in this study judged the morality of a variety of sexual acts from either a self or other perspective. Participants judged high morality acts more moral and low morality acts less moral when using a self-perspective. Consistent with evolutionary predictions, males judged low moral behaviors higher than female participants.
