Abstract
The present research examined how gender, sexual orientation, and attachment style maps onto perceived partner approach and avoidance sexual motives in a survey-based study with 474 participants. Attachment insecurity (avoidance and anxiety) and gender are significant predictors of avoidance sexual motives, while only attachment avoidance predicts approach sexual motives.
