, participants who wanted a connection but not necessarily a commitment with their sex partner, and Testers, participants who sexually engaged with partners to test their sexual compatibility before determining whether to pursue a committed relationship.
More women than men were Committers and more men than women were Recreationers—consistent with traditionalscripts. That is, “men are more willing to engage in sexual activity when the opportunity arises whereas women act as ‘gatekeepers’ and are more focused on relational sexual activity.” More straights than sexual minorities were Committers, and more sexual minorities than straights were Flexibles and Testers.

That is, they are more likely than straight young adults to adjust their sexual behavior, meaning, and expectations based on the specific context of the sexual encounter.
Ethnicity/race and whether one was in college were less influential regarding the meanings ascribed to sex and commitment. Perhaps unsurprisingly, on average, those in the Committers group had fewer hookups and lifetime sexual partners than all other groups.I appreciate the effort to bring nuance to our understanding of sexuality and romance. Certainly, pursuing “types” of almost anything—especially when the topic is as personal as sex and romance—is seductive.
