SAME SEX MARRIAGE GAY WEDDING RINGS X390 (FAIR) | ADVOCATE.COM
Whether gay or straight, couples are trending toward monogamy in the 21st
century, at least according to one new published study.
Data on gay and heterosexual couples from 1975 and from 2000 — the most
recent year such data with identical survey questions was available to
researchers — show the percentage of partnered gay men who reported sexual
activity beyond the relationship dropped from 83% to 59%, while lesbians
reported a decrease from 28% to 8%. Married heterosexual men and women
showed a similar trend away from extra-relational sexual behavior.
"Our findings reveal a marked movement toward monogamy over time," study
authors wrote in the September issue of the journal Family Process.
Glenn Roisman, a psychologist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign, told USA Today, "Some might expect monogamy is not something that
typifies same-sex couples, but clearly the trend is in the opposite
direction.” (Read the story here.) | g********d
