This study examined how adolescent sexual experiences and relationship characteristics influence the likelihood of engaging in sexually non-exclusive relationships during emerging adulthood. Prior studies established that factors, such as sexual history, relationship status, quality of the relationship, and substance use influence sexual non-exclusivity independently. Few studies have examined all these predictors of sexual non-exclusivity. Moreover, few research studies examine the effects of adolescent experiences in conjunction with these known correlates. The current study will address these concerns. I used data from the first through fifth interviews of the Toledo Adolescent Relationship Study to examine the role of adolescent experiences on sexual non-exclusivity in young adulthood. Findings indicated that adolescent sexual partnerships, drug and alcohol use in young adulthood, and lower relationship satisfaction increased the likelihood of reporting sexual non-exclusivity during young adulthood.
