A Systematic Review of LGBTQ+ Events
Scoping Review on Bi+ People in Monogamous and Non-Monogamous Relationships
Bi+ people—people whose identities, attractions, or relationship or sexual histories involve more than one gender—may experience distinct forms of identity recognition and stigma across relationship contexts. This scoping review synthesized research on bi+ people in monogamous and consensually or ethically non-monogamous (C/ENM) relationships. Five databases were searched, yielding 60 eligible records (N = 5,717). An inductive thematic synthesis …
Searching for a third
Despite the high prevalence of couples looking for a third, the empirical research on this population is limited.

A systematic review on differences in sexual satisfaction of women as a function of sexual identity
A Qualitative Exploration of the Experiences of Disclosing Non-Monogamy
Non-monogamy refers to a set of relationship identities and structures that go against societal norms and expectations of “typical” relationships (i.e., monogamous heteronormative dyadic relationships). As such, non-monogamous individuals often conceal this identity and then need to engage in continuous decision-making processes regarding when and how to disclose, due in part to the structural barriers, stigma, and discrimination faced by this po…
