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).

Read More »A womanizer is someone who has multiple sexual encounters or relationships with more than one woman on a regular basis. While single people can sometimes live this lifestyle without hurting anyone, womanizers may pose as wanting a monogamous relationship but lie to their partner about who they're seeing on the side.
