Odds ratios are presented. Reference groups: lifetime sexual behavior (male and female partners), sexual identity (bisexual). Monosexual attractions is coded as 0 = non-monosexual attractions; 1 = monosexual attractions. Calculated controlling for race/ethnicity, age, and gender identity. 95% confidence intervals are presented for odds ratios. Results are significant (p < .05) if the confidence interval does not contain 1. Significant ORs are in bold. “-” indicates incalculable odds ratio due empty cells.
