Journal of Sexual Medicine A Comparison of Sexual Health History and Practices among Monogamous and Consensually Nonmonogamous Sexual Partners Justin J Lehmiller PMID: 26395880 DOI: 10.1111/jsm.12987

Results: CNM partners reported more lifetime sexual partners than individuals in monogamous relationships. In addition, compared with monogamous partners, CNM partners were more likely to (i) report using condoms during intercourse with their primary partner; (ii) report using condoms during intercourse with extradyadic partners; and (iii) report having been tested for STIs. Approximately one-quarter of monogamous partners reported sex outside of their primary relationship, most of whom indicated that their primary partner did not know about their infidelity. The percentage of participants reporting previous STI diagnoses did not differ across relationship type.
