摘要

Plurisexual parents (who are attracted to more than one gender) represent a unique group of parents, yet there are no current studies that examine associations between relationship structures and sexual well-being, parenting self-efficacy, resilience, and positive plurisexual identity-related outcomes. This is the purpose of the current study in addition to understanding how branches (or differences) in relationship configurations preferences (e.g., CNM) versus current lived experiences (e.g., monogamous) are associated with sexual well-being, parenting self-efficacy, resilience and positive plurisexual identity-related outcomes. The current mixed methods study included 548 plurisexual parents, of which 85 reported branches between their preferred relationship configuration and their current relationship structure. Results indicated unique differences between plurisexual parents engaged in CNM relationships (higher levels of positive plurisexual identity-related intimacy) and monogamous relationships (higher levels of positive plurisexual identity-related authenticity and parenting self-efficacy). Branches in preferred and current relationship structures predicted lower levels of sexual satisfaction, relationship satisfaction and positive plurisexual identity-related intimacy. Qualitative analyses of comparisons between ideal and current sexual lives among 85 participants with branches in preferred and current relationship structures indicated that participants experience typical sexual difficulties that parents have reported in previous research, some participants were happy with their current sexual life, others wished for more sex and sexploration with their current partner and some participants were not satisfied with their current relationship structure. Findings have implications for future research and clinical practice with plurisexual parents.
