SDI-2 = Sexual Desire Inventory-2 (Spector et al., 1996); dyadic-P = dyadic (partner); dyadic-A = dyadic (attractive person). Multiple regression models (full models) are each based on N = 2744 observations. Participant gender/sex, relationship status, and sexual orientation were factor coded (0 = male, 1 = female; 0 = heterosexual, 1 = same-sex attracted; 0 = single, 1 = in a committed relationship). All continuous variables were z-standardized. Negative estimates indicate lower scores for women compared to men, for same-sex attracted compared to heterosexual people, and for people having a partner compared to singles. aSelf-rated. *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001
