The Moderating Role of Sexual Orientation in the Association Between Religiosity and Sexual Behaviors Among College Students
Arch Sex Behav. 2023 Aug 29. doi: 10.1007/s10508-023-02678-4.

As many world religions promote doctrines that include negative views toward sexual minorities, the current study aimed to examine the potentially differential ways religiosity is related to sexual behaviors across various sexual orientations. College/university students across Oregon (N = 1553) completed an online cross-sectional survey in which they provided information about their sexual orientation...

The Connection Between Sex as Self-Injury and Sexual Violence
In conclusion, a complex connection was identified whereby SASI could escalate into sexual violence, and earlier experiences of sexual violence could lead to SASI in a vicious loop. Hence, SASI should be seen as a risk factor for further victimization and sexual abuse.PMID:37640887 | DOI:10.1007/s10508-023-02669-5 (Source: Archives of Sexual Behavior)

Sex Differences in Attention and Attitude Toward Infant and Sexual Images
Arch Sex Behav. 2023 Aug 25. doi: 10.1007/s10508-023-02676-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReproduction in mammals includes two general categories of behaviors: mating and parenting. Historically and cross-culturally, men invest more than women in mating; women invest more than men in parenting. Sex differences in attention and attitude toward mating and parenting stimuli have rarely been assessed together despite theoretical interest. To evaluate these differences simultaneously in a naturalistic setting, 582 study participants (459 women, 123 men) were presented with sexual and infant images, online in the privacy of th...

In Experiment 1a, the participants imagined a happy or angry adult face and stated the gender of the imagined face. In Experiment 1b, the participants were asked to quickly judge the gender of happy or angr...

Parenting Desire Among Sexual Minority Women in China: From the Stigma Perspective
This study explored how multiple (structural-interpersonal-individual) levels of sexual minority stigma are related to parenting desire among Chinese sexual minority women. Furthermore, it examined the mediation mechanism of individual stigma and the moderation effect of outness to one's family in the link between structural/interpersonal stigma and parenting desire. Participants (265 lesbian and 193 bisexual women) completed online measures of structural stigma (adherence to Confucianism), interpersonal stigma (discrimination events), individual stigma (internalized homophobia and rejection sensitivity), outness to one's ...

Arch Sex Behav. 2023 Aug 23. doi: 10.1007/s10508-023-02663-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExchange sex is associated with sexual risk behaviors and poor outcomes and different types may incur different levels of risk. We assessed risk profiles of different types of exchange sex among non-injecting cisgender men and women who participated in the 2019 National HIV Behavioral Surveillance project at six sites. Six percent of men and 19% of women reported exchange sex in the past year; most engaged in non-commercial exchange sex for drugs/money with smaller percentages reporting formal sex work or non-commercial exchange sex...
