“…As such, we hypothesized a positive relationship between recent number of sexual behaviors with a man and with a woman and number of behaviors included within the participant's definition of having sex. In addition, we assessed variability in the participants' definition of having sex in relation to several key demographic characteristics identified as important indicators of behavioral definitions of having sex, including sexual identity (e.g., Hill et al, 2010;Horowitz & Spicer, 2013, Richters & Song, 1999, geographic location (e.g., Hill et al, 2010), age (e.g., Binson & Catania, 1998;Sanders et al, 2010), education, (e.g., Binson & Catania, 1998) race/ethnicity, (e.g., Binson & Catania, 1998) and relationship status (e.g., Binson & Catania, 1998). Given that these variables are also associated with the expansiveness or frequency of women's reported sexual behavior in previous research, we hypothesized that participants who were older (Chandra, Copen, & Mosher, 2013;Foxman, Aral, & Holmes, 1998;Leichliter, Chandra, Liddon, Fenton, & Aral, 2007;, had a higher degree , were living in the United States , were in a relationship (Herbenick et al, 2010b), and reported relationships with both men and women (Foxman et al, 1998;Mercer et al, 2007) would include a higher number of behaviors in their definitions of "having sex" than their counterparts.…”
