Context counts: Long‐term sequelae of premarital intercourse or abstinence
An individual's first sexual experience is a highly salient and meaningful event, with potential to shape sexual scripts and the affect associated with sexual expression. Using data from the National Health and Social Life Survey, we tested abstinence-only advocates; assertions that premarital sex results in psychological and physical harm such as sexual dysfunction, sex guilt, poor health, sexually transmitted diseases, and poor life satisfactio…
Sexual desire in later life
The has been relatively little research on sexuality in later life, particularly among persons over 60 years of age. The existing literature consists of studies of small samples, much of it from a biomedical perspective. This literature suggests that age, hormone levels, specific illnesses, and various medications negatively affect sexual functioning in older persons. The study reports results from a survey of a large sample (N=1,384) of persons …

Relationship Dissolution as a Life Stage Transition: Effects on Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors
In this paper, with the use of linear regressions to investigate how relationship dissolution affects sexual attitudes and behaviors, the authors address the stereotype that newly single people seek multiple sexual partners. Although the newly single people surveyed did obtain new sexual partners, the rate at which they acquired new partners did not support the stereotype. Specifically, men with custody of their children seemed oriented toward fi…
Sexuality and the dual‐earner couple, part II: Beyond the baby years
This article reports results from two data sets testing predictions that a couple's sexual relationship suffers if the wife is employed, particularly if she is employed full time or high full time. A multiple‐theory framework was used, fusing the scarcity hypothesis, the enhancement hypothesis, and identity theory. The last suggests that an important individual difference variable, spouse role salience, should be related to a couples sexual funct…
Gender and Job Status as Contextual Cues for the Interpretation of Facial Expression of Emotion
Introduction to special articles
Essentialism vs. social constructionism in the study of human sexuality
According to classical essentialism, there are underlying true forms or essences, there is discontinuity between different forms rather than continuous variation, and these true forms are constant over time. Modern essentialism consists of a belief that certain phenomena are natural, inevitable, and biologically determined. We consider sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, genetic research, brain research, and endocrine research as examples of e…
Sexuality during pregnancy and the year postpartum
We report the sexual patterns of 570 women and 550 of their husbands/partners, not recruited specifically for sex research, at the fifth month of pregnancy (T1), 1 month postpartum (T2), 4 months postpartum (T3), and 12 months postpartum (T4). Although approximately 90% of couples engaged in sexual intercourse at T1, T3, and T4, only about 19% did at T2. On average, couples resumed intercourse around seven weeks postpartum. At T2 and T3, breastfe…

Methodological Issues in the Study of Premarital Sexuality
The value of existing literature on premarital sexual behavior is limited by both methodological problems in and the descriptive orientation of most past research in this area. Five methodological issues are identified: the terminology used (1) to refer to the two sexes and (2) to characterize the quality of personal relationships; the order of measures of (3) current relationships and current behavior, (4) personal and friends' sexual ideology; …
