“…It has been suggested that people feel threatened when asked to report on their sexual activities and thus hesitate to reveal their sexual behaviors to others (Bradburn 1983;Catania 1999;Catania et al 1986;Herold & Way 1988). On the other hand, other investigators have found that respondents can be quite forthcoming about their sexual behaviors (Kinsey et al 1948;Kinsey et al 1953;Laumann et al 2004;Laumann et al 1994). When rapport with interviewers is high, respondents have been found to reveal 93% of their sex partners (Bell et al 2000).…”

“…Much of the literature on the threatening nature of sex partner questions appears to be concerned with largely middle and working class samples with informants with what may be thought of as "conventional" moral standards. At the same time, surveys on sexual behavior by Kinsey (1948;1953) and Laumann (2004; have shown that such data can be collected. Our sample, in contrast, is drawn from low income high drug use neighborhoods and consists of over four-fifths "hard" drug users (cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine).…”

“…There was not suf cient time during the NSHAP interview to a complete sexual partner history. Instead, borrowing from the 1992 National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS; Laumann et al 1994) and the 1995-1997 Chicago Health and Social Life Survey (CHSLS; Laumann et al 2004), NSHAP focused on sexual relationships within the past ve years. This included the current partner as well as either one or two of the next most recent spouses or cohabiting partners within the preceding ve years, for a maximum of two partners overall.…”

amilies provide an important-perhaps the most important-context for aging. Although many older adults do not live in families, very few have no family members. Families bring resources like time, money, goods, and services to their members. Families also bring demands, such as claims on time, money, goods, and services. Family members offer instrumental and emotional support, information, and connections, but also introduce con ict, criticism, demands, and occasionally unhealthy or unhelpful advice or examples. Families offer connections to others in a web of supports and demands. Aging families are most often dyads whose children have grown and departed, or single, widowed individuals. At the same time, social isolation-especially through the lack of a partner-is a reality for many aging individuals and has strong links with both physical and mental health.Aging is a story of change in individuals and families. It is also a story of loss: loss of physical and mental function, loss of family and friends, and loss of a spouse. These losses take place at different rates for different individuals and groups; people and families often adapt to losses with changes in their behavior or environment, making aging a complex and dynamic process. As we will show, the experience of aging is quite different for women than it is for men for a number of reasons. Racial and ethnic groups also tend to follow divergent paths during later adulthood.Families provide a key context in which health is produced and challenges to health are met. The health and well-being of each member depends on the health and well-being of the others, since the resources that family members command and the demands they make both depend on their health and functioning. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKWe de ne health broadly, focusing on well-being and functioning along with illness and disease. Health changes over the life course; evaluations and perceptions of health also change

“…Nash and Gorman-Murray, 2014;Gorman-Murray and Nash, 2014), LGBT residence is rarely restricted to designated 'gay villages', with the boundaries of such areas being both mobile and permeable. In this sense, it appears that the contemporary city is characterized by diverse, overlapping sexual 'marketplaces' (Laumann et al, 2004), with new technologies (e.g. mobile telephone apps and geo-coded dating sites) allowing new forms of sexual consumption and encounter to emerge in spaces which escape easy characterization as either 'straight' or 'gay'.…”

Introduction: Sex, consumption and commerce in the contemporary city

Abstract. Recent accounts of sexual commerce have drawn attention to the proliferation of online and sexual consumption. Yet the mediated exchange of sexual images and content folds into the spaces of the city in a variety of complex ways. Drawing on a variety of social science perspectives, this paper provides an introductory overview of a collection of papers exploring the changing contours of sexual consumption in the city and the distribution of sexual commerce across -and between -private, domestic and public, commercial spaces. Exploring the ways in which diverse LGBT and heterosexual identities are differently marketised, commodified and consumed, this introduction argues that over the last decade, contradictory moments of sexual emancipation and repression have changed where (and how) sexual consumption is visible in the city, shaping rights to the city in complex ways which need to be more thoroughly acknowledged in 'mainstream' urban studies.
