The present study examined heterosexual romantic partners' number of intercourse partners prior to the initiation of their relationship to determine if a significant positive correlation (matching) occurred between partners, and if this matching was associated with their level of love, satisfaction with, and commitment to the relationship. One hundred and six couples who were dating, cohabitating, or married participated in this study. Results indicated that, with the exception of cohabitating couples, romantic partners showed a significant level of matching in the prior number of intercourse partners. Further, among the married couples, a higher discrepancy between men's and women's number of previous intercourse partners was related to lower levels of love, satisfaction, and commitment in the relationship.
本研究调查了异性恋浪漫伴侣在建立恋爱关系之前的性伴侣数量，以确定伴侣之间是否存在显著的正相关（匹配），以及这种匹配是否与他们的爱情水平、对关系的满意度和承诺度相关。106对正在约会、同居或已婚的情侣参与了这项研究。结果表明，除了同居情侣外，浪漫伴侣在之前的性伴侣数量上显示出显著的匹配程度。此外，在已婚夫妇中，男女之前性伴侣数量的差异越大，与关系中的爱情、满意度和承诺度越低相关。
