Which sexual behaviors did you engage in? (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). Finally, under Relationships, there's a separate heading covering the sexual activities which ever occurred during the respondent's most recent relationship.
