Numerous studies have described declines in sexual well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic, although experiences of sexual distress during this time appear to be mixed. Previous research has relied on cross-sectional methodology and focused on individuals in relationships.

(IF 4.891) Pub Date : 2024-04-09 Rebecca Lievesley, Helen Swaby, Belinda Winder, Christine Norman, Kerensa Hocken
Problematic sexual arousal (PSA) is an umbrella term to describe a range of clinical presentations related to excessive sexual thinking (e.g., sexual preoccupation) and sexual behavior (e.g., hypersexuality). Although such concepts are known to affect sexual recidivism among individuals convicted of sexual offences, PSA is not routinely or directly targeted in offending behavior programs in England

The Structure of Hypersexuality and Its Relation to Impulsivity Arch. Sex. Behav. (IF 4.891) Pub Date : 2024-04-08 Rui Du, Raymond A. Knight
Among the multiple controversies surrounding hypersexuality is the important issue of whether it constitutes a univocal construct. Although an initial study supported its homogeneity, more resent research has identified two separate subcomponents—problematic sexuality and sexual drive. The present survey study addressed this issue in a sample that included both in-person tested college students (n = 69)

Stigma-related stressors are central to understanding psychopathology, distress, and coping in stigmatized groups; individuals who experience attractions to children are a highly stigmatized group.

Sexual Norms Across Pornography Use, Sexual Fantasy, and In-Person Sexuality Arch. Sex. Behav. (IF 4.891) Pub Date : 2024-04-03 Aki M. Gormezano, Sari M. van Anders
Sexual norms define perceptions of who is acceptable to partner with, how many partners are appropriate, and what sexual behaviors are acceptable to engage in. This shapes, in part, who has access to sexual pleasure and who is minoritized based on their sexuality. Though well theorized and researched for “in-person” sexuality, much less is known about sexual norms in other contexts/modalities, such

In this essay, we consider the clinical and ethical implications of puberty blockers for pediatric gender dysphoria through the lens of “the child’s right to an open future,” which refers to rights that children do not have the capacity to exercise as minors, but that must be protected, so they can exercise them in the future as autonomous adults. We contrast the open future principle with the beliefs

Hookup culture has transformed the sexual behavior of emerging adults. Feminism, a movement that has advocated for liberating women from sexual repression, may be associated with hookup endorsement attitudes.
