How Multiple Sex Partners Shows Teen Risky Behavior

它可能并不令人惊奇,青少年d young adults who have multiple sexual partners are significantly more likely to develop substance abuse disorders than those who have not had sex with more than one person.

可能让你惊讶的是，女性比男性更为真实。

但是，这正是研究告诉我们的。由唐娜E.霍华德和员工在马里兰大学进行了对多种性伴侣和药物滥用的最大研究之一。该研究重点关注3,288名十几岁的女孩，他性活跃。

Among these sexually experienced adolescents, 24% reported no sexual partners in the past three months, about 63 percent had one and 13 percent had two or more recent sexual partners.

药物滥用和其他危险行为

该研究发现，在短时间内与多个伴侣发生性关系的女孩可能会从事战斗，狂欢饮酒，吸烟等其他风险行为，using cocaine， 要么sniffing glue。

马里兰州的研究发现，与多个合作伙伴有妊娠，性传播疾病的风险，对生殖健康导致生殖健康的风险增加。

除了战斗，饮酒和药物滥用外，有多种性伴侣的女孩还可能在最后一次发生性交情况下有没有保护的性行为，另一种危险的行为使性别与许多合作伙伴进行了性。

Does Drinking Prompt Multiple Partners?

Interestingly, Howard's study found that as the teenage girls grew older they began to limit their sexual partners. Ninth graders reported more recent multiple sexual partner behavior, but the number of sexual partners declined for girls in the 11th and 12th grades.

There is some disagreement among researchers about whether having multiple sexual partners is a factor in the later development of药物滥用疾病， 要么does the substance abuse increase the likelihood of having sex with multiple partners.

风险的可能性

有些研究表明，逆向相似的关系，频繁和饮酒频繁，有可能具有风险的可能性，包括具有多个性伴侣。

在13年的时间内为533年的第533分钟的一项研究发现，酒精使用“是整个青春期各种性伙伴的偏执的领先指标。”但是，没有发现反向模式 - 具有多个性伴侣没有与之相关联增加酒精使用。

No Link to Depression or Anxiety

However, a longitudinal New Zealand study examined the relationship between numbers of sex partners over three age periods (18–20, 21–25, and 26–32 years) and diagnoses of anxiety, depression, and substance dependence disorder at 21, 26, and 32 years.

结果表明，越来越多的性伴侣在后期物质依赖性障碍中与“引人注目的增加”有关，特别是女性。

为什么性别与药物滥用相关？

研究人员已经推测，有多种性伴侣可能与发展后来的物质滥用问题有关的原因。以下是一些可能性：

• Sexual risk-taking and substance abuse are common risk-taking behaviors in adolescence and young adulthood.
• Occasions of substance abuse are opportunities for sexual behavior due to disinhibition and lowered perception of risk.
• 人们更有可能在饮酒的情况下达到新的性伴侣，并且酒精可以促进多次伙伴。
• 有多种性伴侣的东西让人们面临着物质虐待障碍的风险。

研究人员推测，多个合作伙伴关系可能是促使后来物质滥用的不良性。或者，他们说，也许有多次失败的关系会产生一种物质滥用的态度。
