| description | This study examined the role of same-sex sexual behavior in the identification and coming-out process among three cohorts of gay and bisexual males. The sequence through which the males identified their same-sex attractions was coded as either sex-centered (labeling of sexual identity after first same-sex sexual encounter) or identity-centered (labeling of sexual identity before engaging in sex with males). The project tested whether developmental sequence was a significant predictor of later adjustment to sexual identity and relationship involvement. Findings demonstrate that the proportion of sex-centered males decreased as a function of age cohort. Moreover, sex-centered males reported higher levels of homophobia toward other males, more lifetime sexual partners, and more heterosexual sexual and romantic relationships. Thus, the route males take to identify and label their sexual identity is a good predictor of future adjustment and relationship involvement. |
