Abstract

Non-romantic sex is widespread and occurs in a wide variety of forms. We analyse semi-structured interviews in which 15 Australian women describe a range of non-romantic sexual arrangements and consider their implications for women’s ability to negotiate sexual safety. We identify four overlapping categories of non-romantic sex: one night stands, ‘the lines are blurred’, ongoing non-romantic arrangements and alternative non-romantic sex. The benefits and limitations for women of each type of non-romantic sex are considered, with a focus on their implications for physical and emotional sexual health and safety.
