Chapter 11: sexuality and the life cycle adulthood. Intimacy involves a deep emotional sharing between two people: the media, usually shows a stereotyped and heterosexist view of sex, more and more shows are doing better safer sex, gay/lesbian couples. The never-married: refers to adults who have never been legally married. Being single: many places to meet other singles, bar scene sexual behaviours, single ads and dating websites better for older, shy, and not attractive people, may evolve into a real or online relationship. Internet users are more likely to be male, single, divorced, employed, urban and have higher incomes: single scenes are usually geared to a sexually promiscuous crowd. Living together is an important milestone: represents commitment, public declaration of a sexual relationship, most people that live together know they want to be married at some point. Issues in finding time to just enjoy each other: 1/3 of first marriages end in divorce.
