“…In one study using data from the Online College Social Life Survey, meeting venues also varied for opposite-sex compared to same-sex dates and hook-ups (Kuperberg and Padgett 2015). Recent research by Rupp et al (2014) has focused on the hook-up experiences of "queer" women. They argue that the college hook-up scene provides an opportunity for emerging adults to explore sexuality, along with a context to experience same-sex sexual encounters without questioning one's sexual identity.…”

“…As is similar to concerns about racially and ethnically diverse samples, research going forward should also be far more inclusive of a variety of sexual identities. Although some research has examined hooking up and casual sex relationships among sexual‐minority populations (e.g., Rupp, Taylor, Regev‐Messalem, Fogarty, & England, ), far more studies should be inclusive of those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, pansexual, questioning, and queer (see Watson, Snapp, & Wang, ). Researchers in the area of CNM relationships have made sexual identity an important point of consideration in their studies, often finding that sexual‐minority participants are much more positive toward CNM relationships, are more willing to engage in CNM, and a greater proportion (when compared with heterosexual participants) have engaged in CNM relationships (Rubin et al, ).…”

The formation and development of romantic relationships continues to be an important area of study among adolescent and young adult populations. Although many adolescents and young adults report having committed romantic relationship experiences, which may or may not include sexual activity, research has grown during the past decade to study a variety of sexual experiences and relationship types. Consistent with identity formation and exploration and the opportunity for experimentation, adolescents and young adults also engage in a variety of casual sexual relationships and experiences. The past decade saw a dramatic growth in the study of casual sex and in particular hooking‐up experiences. Furthermore, scholars have begun to examine more fully young adults' attitudes toward and willingness to engage in consensually nonmonogamous relationships; however, little research has examined actual involvement in consensually nonmonogamous relationships among those in young adulthood. As with previous decade reviews, ongoing attention regarding how adolescent experiences serve to inform relationships and sex during the period of young adulthood is warranted. Directions for future research are identified and discussed.

“…That is, men weren't asked how many male sexual partners they had had (and thus were assumed to have had none) unless they said they had oral or anal sex with a man, whereas women could be classified as having had sex with a woman if they said they had had any sexual experience with a woman, even if they did not report having had oral sex with a woman. Recent attention to the prevalence of women kissing women on dance floors and at parties (Rupp et al 2014;Hamilton 2007) raises the question of whether women reporting sexual experience with women are referring to experiences such as these or to more private sexual contact involving genitals. In analyses not shown, we ascertained that 91 percent of women of age 18-45 who said they had sex with a woman last year (regardless of whether they also said they had sex with a man) also reported that they had ever had oral sex with a woman, as did 88 percent of (the overlapping group of) women who reported having sex with both men and women last year.…”

Abstract:We use data from the 2002-2013 National Surveys of Family Growth to examine change across U.S. cohorts born between 1966 and 1995 in whether individuals have had sex with same-sex partners only, or with both men and women, and in whether they have a bisexual or gay identity. Adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, immigrant status, and mother's education, we find increases across cohorts in the proportion of women who report a bisexual identity, who report ever having had sex with both sexes, or who report having had sex with women only. By contrast, we find no cohort trend for men; roughly 5 percent of men in every cohort have ever had sex with a man, and the proportion claiming a gay or bisexual attraction changed little. We speculate that this gender difference is rooted in a broader pattern of asymmetry in gender change in which departures from traditional gender norms are more acceptable for women than men.Keywords: sexualities; gender; bisexuality; homosexuality; cohorts I T is often recognized that norms about gender and sexuality are linked, such that one violates gender norms by identifying as gay or bisexual, or by having sex with a same-sex partner (Pascoe 2007;England 2016). What is less often recognized is a link between trends in the gender and sexuality systems. Gender change has been asymmetric, with women taking on traditionally male activities more than vice versa (England 2010). Consistent with this more general pattern, we will show that the proportion of women who have had sex with a same-sex partner or who identify as bisexual has increased, with no parallel change for men.Several recent papers, focused mostly on period change in the 1990s and early 2000s, note an upward trend in sex with same-sex partners (Turner et al. 2005;Butler 2005;Twenge et al. 2016). Our study takes a cohort rather than period perspective, examining change across birth cohorts born between 1966 and 1995. We use data from the National Surveys of Family Growth (NSFG) collected between 2002 and 2013. Separately for men and women, we examine change across cohorts in sex with same-sex partners and in gay or bisexual identities using models that adjust for respondents' age, race, ethnicity, immigrant status, and socioeconomic background (measured with mother's education). We also examine whether trends have been significantly different along these dimensions. To foreshadow, we find substantial evidence of increases in women's sexual behavior with same-sex partners and in women's bisexual identity, but little change for men. We also find that trends differ little by race, ethnicity, immigration status, or socioeconomic background.
