condom	Did you use a condom?
condom_r	This is the same as condom.r, but it is stored as a numeric variable, where -1 indicates that the respondent did not have sex. In selection equations on sex, the first stage should drop all the -1's, converting this into a dichotomous variable, where 1 indicates condom use.

condom.r	This indicates whether, in a heteronormative event, the respondent had intercourse but did not use a condom, had intercourse and used a condom, or did not have intercourse.

finished.off.partner	For individual events, this quesion asks, 'Did you perform oral sex or hand stimulation of your partner because you did not want to have intercourse, but felt you should give them an orgasm?' whereas, at the student-level, this question asks, 'Since you started college, have you ever performed oral sex or hand stimulation of a partner to orgasm mainly because you didn't want to have intercourse, but felt like you needed to give them an orgasm one way or another?'

(Check all that apply.). -- These are asked with respect to the partner in dating, hookups, and relationships, but by partner's gender, if one ever engaged in these behaviors, in sexual history. As such, this gender-nonspecific series is constructed for sexual histories, whereas for the occurrences, these reflect the questionnaire. Note also that for occurrences, respondents were asked whether they kissed or made out, wherein sexual histories this was split into two questions, about public/private kissing, and as such, these two variables are only available in sexual histories (which a correspond privacy-nonspecific version constructed to match those in the per-occurrence data).
