Bisexuality, Quality of Life, Lifestyle, and Health Indicators
This study compared male (M) and female (F) homosexual (HOM) and heterosexual (HET) sexual orientation behavior (SORB) groups to bisexuals (BI) on demographic, social background, quality of life, lifestyle, and health variables in a series of seven national probability samples between the years 1988 and 1996. Sexual orientation was assessed behaviorally for two time periods using by respondents' report of the gender of their sexual partners since…
Differences between sexual orientation behavior groups and social background, quality of life, and health behaviors
Within the literature, there is some question as to whether bisexual or homosexual persons practice more unhealthy lifestyles and experience a lower quality of life than heterosexual individuals. This study examined possible differences between sexual orientation behavior groups (homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual, and no sex partners) on demographic and social background variables, quality of life variables, lifestyle and health variables, and m…
The use of theory in sexuality research
The status of any area of science can be gauged by an examination of its scientific theory. The opening article in this issue presents a metatheoretical perspective of scientific theory, including a definition of theory and related terms, description of the components of theory, brief review of recent criticisms of what has come to be known as the positivist tradition of science, and set of criteria for evaluating theories. There is also a review…
Conclusion
The final article provides an independent assessment of 39 theoretical perspectives, drawn mostly from the disciplines of biology, psychology, and sociology, that have been or could be used in sexuality research. For each theory, a set of suggested readings is provided, and the author rates each theory on a number of criteria for evaluating theory. Several problems that sexual scientists must confront in building better theories are mentioned. Tw…
Individual changes in sexual attitudes and behavior within college‐level human sexuality courses
A sample of 172 university students enrolled in three human sexuality courses was utilized to explore attitudinal and behavioral changes in individual students, rather than for the class as a whole. Students responded to a questionnaire on the first and last day of the course. ANOVAS indicated that sexual attitudes became more permissive during the period of the course and that there were no significant changes in behavior for the students as a g…

Proceptive and rejective strategies of U.S. and Canadian college women
It is widely believed that men are the initiators in sexual encounters. However, results from animal sex research show that proceptivity—female behavior patterns which initiate or maintain a sexual interaction—is extremely common. We investigated proceptivity in U.S. (n = 29) and Canadian (n = 48) college women who wrote essays explaining how they would seduce and reject a man and who completed a questionnaire assessing sexual conservatism/libera…
A survey instrument for assessing the cognitive association of sex, love, and marriage
The development of a survey instrument for measuring the cognitive association of sex, love, and marriage (SLM) is reported. The SLM scale was tested in two phases with two distinct data sets. The first data set comprised the responses of 321 undergraduates at a New England state university. In this first phase, the specific item composition of the scale was determined, and initial reliability and internal consistency were established. The second…
The experience of pain during women's first sexual intercourse
A sample of coitally experienced college females was utilized to explore the adequacy of several related beliefs that constitute the cultural mythology of female sexual initiation in American society and to identify possible correlates of the subjective experience of pain during women's first intercourse. The results were that a sizeable minority of the women reported experiencing no pain during their first intercourse, that other subjective reac…
Size of Community of Residence as a Predictor of Attitudes toward Extramarital Sexual Relations
Five national surveys collected by the National Opinion Research Center between 1973 and 1980 were employed to investigate the relationship between attitudes toward extramarital sexual relations and a group of predictor variables that included variables identified in previous research and a measure of size of community of present residence. The results indicate that size of community was strongly and directly related to extramarital attitudes, al…
Affective reactions of women to their initial experience of coitus
A sample of sexually experienced college students was utilized to explore the affective reactions of women to their first sexual intercourse and to identify possible correlates. Pearson product‐moment correlations and multiple regression analyses were employed to test the association between affective reactions and a group of predictor variables, including social background, family background, peer influences, sexual attitudes, adolescent courtsh…
