Abstract
Being able to talk comfortably about sexual topics enhances romantic relationships; however, revealing private sexual information entails trusting a partner with the disclosure. Based on the disclosure decision-making model, this study tested a sexual disclosure model identifying mechanisms linking perceived disclosure trust with willingness and likelihood to disclose private sexual information to partners. Survey responses from 595 individuals indicated that when deciding to reveal private sexual information, people consider their level of trust disclosing to a partner, the outcomes that they anticipate will incur if they reveal the information to the partner, and their ability to manage such a revelation. The sexual disclosure model provides a useful framework for understanding decisions to reveal private sexual information to romantic partners.
