“…Though most studies ( n = 28) compared monogamous partnerships to CNM partnerships, others ( n = 11) compared concurrent CNM partnerships (e.g., comparing primary partnerships to secondary partnerships; Balzarini et al, 2017; Balzarini, Dharma, Kohut, Campbell, et al, 2019), while others ( n = 8) compared different types of CNM partnerships (e.g., polyamorous relationships to open relationships to swingers; Conley & Piemonte, 2021). A few studies ( n = 6) compared consensually non‐monogamous relationships to non ‐consensually non‐monogamous relationships (i.e., infidelity) (Levine et al, 2018; Rodrigues et al, 2019; Rodrigues, Lopes, Dawson, et al, 2021; Træen & Thuen, 2021). We present the findings of these studies below.…”

“…Studies comparing people in CNM relationships to those who have engaged in non ‐consensually non‐monogamous relationships (NCNM, or infidelity) found that those in CNM relationships reported greater intimacy with their primary partners and more accepting attitudes toward sex and sexuality than those who engaged in NCNM (Træen & Thuen, 2021). Individuals in CNM relationships were found to use condoms more effectively than those engaging in infidelity (Conley et al, 2013; Rodrigues et al, 2019) though contrary findings were reported in one study (Træen & Thuen, 2021). Those in CNM relationships also reported higher sexual satisfaction compared to those engaging in infidelity (Rodrigues, Lopes, & Huic, 2021).…”

Polyamory and consensual non‐monogamy (CNM) refer to partnerships in which individuals have romantic, emotional, and/or sexual relationships with multiple people, with the knowledge and consent of everyone involved. Recent decades have seen a surge in research interest in polyamory and CNM, warranting efforts to pause and take stock of empirical findings. In this scoping review, we evaluate and synthesize 209 research studies about polyamory and CNM, paying particular attention to trends in research design, theoretical application, and substantive findings. Researchers have focused broadly on (a) outcomes of CNM relationships, (b) attitudes and perceptions of CNM, (c) antecedents of CNM, (d) CNM relational processes, (e) CNM identity development, (f) polyamorous family and parenting, and (g) CNM politics and discourse. We synthesize research findings within each domain, identify gaps in the literature, and discuss the challenges and opportunities we see in advancing research on polyamory and CNM.

“…This may hinder the generalizability of the results. A more detailed description of this has been outlined elsewhere (Traeen et al, 2021a, b;Traeen & Thuen, 2021;. Another limitation is the single question measure of satisfaction with singlehood, as well as satisfaction with their sexual life/current level of sexual activity.…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which Norwegians are satisfied with their singlehood, and to determine the association between being single and sexual activity. Data were obtained from a questionnaire survey of a representative web sample of 1076 unpartnered individuals (568 women, 508 men) aged 18–89 years. A total of 45.2% of the single respondents reported being satisfied with being single, while 33.9% reported being unsatisfied. There was no difference between the age groups in men, but more women aged 45 years or older than women under the age of 45 were satisfied with being single. A higher percentage of gay, bisexual, and transmen than heterosexual men was satisfied with being single. More women who had not been sexually active with a partner in the past year were satisfied with being single than were women who had been sexually active. The men who were most satisfied with being single were those who had masturbated and/or had sexual intercourse, and least satisfied were those with no sexual activity, or exclusively masturbation activity. The results are discussed in terms of biological, psychological, and social positions.

“…Other sample characteristics are presented elsewhere . This study is part of a larger project concerning a wide range of non-BDSM-related aspects of sexuality and other articles from this larger project have been published (Fisher & Traeen, 2021;Koletić et al, 2021;Traeen & Thuen, 2021).…”

This national web-population study from Norway (N = 4,148) assessed 1) the prevalence of BDSM and role-play interests and behaviors, 2) the sociodemographic characteristics of the BDSM-oriented participants, and 3) the associations between a) BDSM and b) role-play interests and behaviors, and sexual satisfaction, relationship satisfaction, and relationship closeness. Over one in three study participants endorsed at least one BDSM interest or behavior variable. There were no gender nor educational level differences between the BDSM-oriented participants and their traditional "vanilla" (non-BDSM-oriented) counterparts, though BDSM and interests were more common among younger and self-identified LGBQ+ participants. Sexual satisfaction was positively associated with role-play and BDSM behaviors while interest in role-play (but not having previously engaged in it) was negatively associated with this outcome.Lower relationship closeness was associated with an interest in role-play (but not having tried it). No BDSM-related variables were significantly associated with relationship closeness. The findings suggest that BDSM interests and behaviors are relatively common and are linked with sexual and relationship satisfaction.
