Given current cultural attention to issues surrounding sexual consent, the issue of sexual deception is pertinent. The current study examined rates of different forms of blatant sexual deception (i.e., intentionally misleading sexual partners) with a focus on individual predictors including demographic correlates and traits of narcissism and sexual compulsivity. We sought to extend existing literature on sexual deception by examining novel forms of deception in a gender- and sexual orientation- diverse sample. Participants (N = 1769) aged 16 to 81 years (M = 26.60) took part in an online study. Results showed no gender differences in overall rates of deception, though men were more deceptive regarding wealth and resources, occupation, and physical characteristics than women. Sexual minorities reported higher rates of sexual deception than heterosexual participants pertaining to sexual orientation and previous partner gender. Participant scores on sexual narcissism and sexual compulsivity were significantly correlated with sexual deception scores. Findings are discussed in relation to how sexual deception can be understood and potentially intervened upon within current cultures of consent.

鉴于当前对性同意问题的文化关注，性欺骗问题是相关的。目前的研究检查了不同形式的公然性欺骗（即故意误导性伴侣）的发生率，重点关注个人预测因素，包括人口统计相关性以及自恋和性强迫症的特征。我们试图通过在不同性别和性取向的样本中检查新的欺骗形式来扩展关于性欺骗的现有文献。参与者 ( N  = 1769) 年龄 16 至 81 岁 ( M = 26.60) 参加了在线研究。结果表明，总体欺骗率没有性别差异，尽管男性在财富和资源、职业和身体特征方面比女性更具欺骗性。在性取向和以前的伴侣性别方面，性少数群体报告的性欺骗率高于异性恋参与者。性自恋和性强迫的参与者得分与性欺骗得分显着相关。研究结果讨论了如何在当前的同意文化中理解性欺骗并可能对其进行干预。
