TLDR
This article dissected associations between initiation and intensity of substance use and number of sexual partners using pooled data from high school seniors (weighted n = 13,580) who participated in the 1999-2007 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS), a cross-sectional, nationally representative survey.Abstract:
We dissected associations between initiation and intensity of substance use and number of sexual partners using pooled data from high school seniors (weighted n = 13,580) who participated in the 1999–2007 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS), a cross-sectional, nationally representative survey. In multinomial multivariable logistic regressions, number of sexual partners steadily increased as substance use intensified from never use to experimental/new user to heavy use across all substances for both male and females. Severity of substance use is more closely related to, and thus a better indicator of, higher number of sexual partners than age of substance use onset.read more

The Problem With ‘Behavioral Bisexuality': Assessing Sexual Orientation in Survey Research
Greta R. Bauer,David J. Brennan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a proof-of-concept analysis demonstrates that observed effects of behavioral bisexuality on substance use and sexual health outcomes may be due to encoded differentials in sex partner number, rather than a function of bisexuality as typically defined or practiced.

Predictors of Multiple Sexual Partners From Adolescence Through Young Adulthood
TL;DR: Findings suggest that factors associated with having multiple recent sexual partners change from middle adolescence through young adulthood, and the time-varying effect model can be used to identify risk factors that are especially salient at different ages, thus identifying which age periods may hold the greatest promise for intervention.

TL;DR: Findings highlight how family management and perceptions of adult marijuana use influence subsequent adolescent AOD use, and how an increase in familism over time is associated with a decrease in adolescent drinking.

TL;DR: There does not seem to be a single dimension of human LHS among Western adults and the effects of environmental components seem to vary between mating competition and Super-K.

Alcohol use and risky sexual behavior among college students and youth: Evaluating the evidence
TL;DR: Analysis of event characteristics showed that drinking was more strongly associated with decreased protective behaviors among younger individuals, on first intercourse experiences and for events that occurred on average longer ago, suggesting future efforts aimed at reducing alcohol use in potentially sexual situations may decrease some forms of risky sex, but are less likely to affect protective behaviors directly.
