Abstract

We explored the association between sexual jealousy and mental health, and examined whether it varied according to sexual arrangements among gay male couples. Sexual jealousy was positively associated with depression only among monogamous couples. Regardless of sexual agreement, the association between sexual jealousy and anxiety was non-significant.
