• There is a positive relationship between the level of knowledge and a belief in one-night stand relationships.
• Male students are more likely to report a belief in one-night stand relationships compared to female students.
• A large number of students did not receive information about condom use

• Men with a sex buddy were also more likely to practice serosorting than men with a one-night stand.
• The proportion of UAI without serosorting is lower for men with a sex buddy, and therefore men might have less UAI at risk for HIV with this partner type.

• Recruitment of sex partners through personal ads in newspapers has been replaced by internet-based searches.
• A particular sex-partner recruitment approach may be associated with a higher risk of STI acquisition if it increases the likelihood of “hooking-up”.

• Alcohol and drugs use is associated with increased likelihood of engaging in more risky sexual behaviours.

• Excessive alcohol consumption and heavy episodic drinking is increasingly common among female university students.

• High-sexual-sensation seekers were more likely than low-sexual-sensation seekers to accept cybersex, multiple sexual partners, and one-night stands.
• The results suggest that health prevention campaigns should target high-sexual-sensation seekers with novel, thrilling, and complex messages to achieve safe sex educational campaign goals.

• Estimates from a 1970 national survey indicate that 20.3% of adult men in the US had sexual contact with another man at some point in their life, 6.7% after age 19, and between 1.6-2.0% within the last year.
• Never-married men are more likely than other men to have had same-gender sexual contacts within the last year.
• Approximately half of the men estimated to have same-gender sexual contacts are currently or previously married.

• Sexual excitation and inhibition were positively and negatively correlated with risky sexual behaviors in women.
• Atypical sexual arousal patterns, the tendency to become aroused in unusual sexual situations, and the importance of relationship factors were the strongest predictors for sexual behaviors at baseline.
• These variables also predicted the number of sexual partners and the number of one-night stands at follow-up.

• Most men (62%) met their partner through the Internet.
• Venue where partner was met was not significantly associated with unprotected anal intercourse (UAI).
• Venue was related to other factors that contextualized men’s sexual encounters, such as HIV status disclosure and alcohol use.

• Relationship researchers have revealed a rainbow of potential relationships that individuals can and do engage in, which may act as “compromises” between two extremes.
• Evolutionary models can be used to account for behaviors and patterns in one-night stands, serious romantic relationships, booty-call relationships, friends-with-benefits, swinging, and polyamory.
• It is important to have an unbiased and unabashed look at the sex lives of people.

• Most participants reported developing emotional relationships and having children with clients, former clients, or pimps.
• Supportive relationships with other streetwalkers were largely nonexistent.
• Drug addiction and financial need were common motivations for entering prostitution.

• Social Exchange Theory can be used to explain the sexual decision-making process of one-night stands in college-aged students.
• Common attributes and topographical features that individuals look for in a sexual partner can be identified.
• One-night stands are not casual or unemotional, and can place individuals in situations of physical, social, and psychological risk.

• Alcohol-fuelled sexual explorations are of paramount importance for young partygoers.
• Sexualized territories significantly shape the experience and performance of one-night stands.
• Contrary to previous research, one-night stands are to a large degree associated with pleasure.

• Men reported concurrency more frequently than women.
• Important factors for men associated with concurrency were lifetime partners, a night in jail, and same sex partners.
• Important factors for women associated with concurrency were first coitus before age 16, lifetime partners, and STD diagnoses during relationship. Partnership characteristics associated with concurrency included lifetime partners, race discordance, married/living together, night in jail, partnership duration of >6 months, and STD diagnoses during relationship.

• Over half of individuals (56.0%) visiting Ibiza had sex with at least one person, with 26.2% of males and 14.5% of females having sex with more than one individual.

• This effect was found primarily among males who were highly conflicted about having intercourse on the date.
• No similar effect was found among highly conflicted females.

• 63% of female respondents and 64% of males were sexually experienced.
• Alcohol use, illicit drug use and young age at first coitus were associated with increased odds that females had had two or more partners in the previous three months, and being married lowered the odds; black or Hispanic race or ethnicity, alcohol use and young age at first coitus increased the odds for males, and being married reduced the odds.
• As the number of reported alcohol-related behaviors increased, the adjusted proportion of respondents who had recently had multiple partners rose from 8% to 48% among females and from 23% to 61% among men.

• 63.5% of bathhouse patrons visited a bathhouse in the 3 months before the current bathhouse visit.
• 46.7% visited a cruising area, 46.5% used online cruise sites to find sex partners, and 30.9% reported UAI.
• Men who used all three venues had significantly higher odds of UAI compared to men using zero, one, or two venues.

• 80% of participants had ever had vaginal or anal sex.
• 39% of those who had ever had sex did not use condoms all or most of the time and were classified as being at risk of STI.

• Alcohol use is prevalent among college students and may contribute to elevated rates of sexual risk taking.
• Unprotected vaginal sex (UVS) was reported by 39% of the sample and 32% reported alcohol use prior to sex.
• Alcohol consumption was associated with an increase in UVS for sexual encounters involving a non-steady partner, whereas rates of UVS did not vary by drinking status for encounters involving a steady partner.

• Alcohol use was associated with a higher probability of intercourse among males on first dates.
• This effect was found primarily among males who were highly conflicted about having intercourse on the date.
• A similar effect was not found among highly conflicted females.

• A confirmatory factor analysis revealed alcohol use, binge drinking, and drunkenness are consistent indicators of a latent alcohol consumption variable over time, although the mean levels of the indicators were significantly lower during adolescence.
• Structural equation modeling analyses found alcohol consumption during the transition to adulthood and young adulthood predicted one-time sexual hookups in young adulthood, but alcohol consumption during the transition to adulthood exhibited the strongest association with hooking up.
• Implications for research, theory, and practice are discussed.

• Consuming more drinks on a given day was associated with a greater likelihood of oral sex and with experiencing more positive consequences of sex that day.
• Individuals with more positive alcohol-sex expectancies were more likely to have sex after drinking.
• There was a trend-level association between drinks and condom use.
