The risk of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) significantly decreases for serially monogamous individuals when the time between partners increases to longer than 4 months for women and longer than 6 months for men, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open. Researchers in this survey study examined the associations between partnership timing (measured as time overlap or time period between partners) and risk of STIs, as well as the associations between partners’ perceptions of overlapping sexual partners and risk of infection. Data were collected from Britain’s third National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3), which has a 57.7% response rate and is considered broadly representative of the general British population. Participants aged 16 to 44 years were included if they reported having > 1 sexual partners in the previous 5 years, and gaps between recent partners were calculated from the date of last sexual encounter with previous partner and initial sexual encounter with following partner. Study investigators denoted overlapping partnerships, termed concurrency, by negative gaps, whereas consecutive partnerships, termed serial monogamy was denoted by positive gaps. Of the 8867 eligible participants, 39.6% were men and 58.2% [sic] were women (mean age, 28 years for both sexes). Of male participants, 48.1% reported > 2 sexual partners and > 1 time gaps between partners compared with 39.5% of female participants. The median time gap between partners was 2 months (range -3 to 8). Most of the participants reported at least 1 month between partners (67.0%), but these gaps were still sufficiently brief for the transmission of STIs. A significant decrease in the risk of diagnosis of a STI was not seen until the time between partners reached >4 months for women (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.39; 95% CI, 0.19-0.81) and >6 months for men (aOR 0.42; 95% CI, 0.20-0.85) compared with time overlaps of >2 years. Perceptions of partners’ concurrency (reporting no concurrency vs reporting concurrency) was independently associated with diagnoses STIs in women only (aOR 0.32; 95% CI, 0.22-0.49).

To make the girl you like miss you, limit the amount of time you spend together to 1 or 2 times a week so she looks forward to seeing you and doesn’t take you for granted. During the time you spend together, treat her well by asking questions about her life and making her laugh to show you care about her and enjoy spending time together. When you’re not with your girl, continue to pursue your own interests, like soccer or learning a language. Additionally, make time to see your friends so you have a healthy balance between hanging out with your girl and your buddies. If she sends you a text message, wait an hour or 2 before responding to show that you have other things to do. However, if you’re spending a longer period of time apart, such as a few days or a weekend, remember to send her a message or give her a quick call to see how she’s doing, since this will remind her of how much she misses you.
