It is requested by women whose culture demands they prove their virginity by bleeding on their wedding night. As a result, this surgery is filled with ethical and legal controversy surrounding virginity, sexual equality, and women's rights to bodily autonomy and self-determination. This paper is a qualitative analysis of conversations with four Canadian doctors faced with the request for hymenoplasty and their experiences and decision-making process. Results indicate doctors relied on values of self-determination, bodily autonomy, honesty and integrity, and ethical principles of informed consent, competence, privacy, confidentiality, and culture and gender awareness, to inform their decision making. In their dialogues they placed different weight on the biological aspects of the surgery, culture, and personal autonomy resulting in different decisions and actions in response to the request. In addition, compartmentalisation, simplification, distance, differentiation and responsiveness appeared to assist the doctors in engaging with the discomfort and ethical dilemmas inherent in responding to the request for hymenoplasty. Future research is needed to verify these results and to explore the impact of the differing approaches to the women requesting the surgery.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143984939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Japan-where sexlessness and declining birthrates are widespread-ART has emerged not only as a medical solution but also a societal workaround. This paper explores the ethical implications of ART's normalisation in Japan, focusing on three key concerns: (1) the commercialisation of ART and its framing as 'natural'; (2) pronatalist incentives that blur the line between support and coercion; and (3) the decoupling of sex and reproduction through medicalisation. Using Japan as a case study, the paper examines whether ART should require clear medical indications, whether societal factors like sexlessness justify its use, and how government and industry pressures subtly shape patient choices. Ultimately, it argues for the stricter regulation of ART practices and more effective pronatalist policies that directly address sexlessness, calling for a stronger emphasis on relational ethics to balance individual autonomy with societal needs in reproductive health.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143982790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article reports on a hybrid scoping narrative review of existing literature that explores LGBTIQA+SB social emotional wellbeing and potential links to music practices, such as music listening, performance, and composing. Findings suggest that music and creative practices can be linked to feelings of elation, positive self-regard, and safety. Music and performance can promote and celebrate the diversity and complexities of Queer First Nations people and identities through art and performance, enhancing a sense of belonging and links to community, generating feelings of pride, and contributing to knowledge sharing.

This paper presents a scoping literature review of the regimes of truth, following Foucault, of 'sexual justice' appearing in the scientific literature from 2012 to 2022. Thirty-eight papers were coded using (1) content analysis of the studies' central problematics, the programmes referred to, and institutional location(s); and (2) thematic analysis of how the notion was deployed. Central problematics centred on (1) critiques of, or alternatives to, dominant approaches to sexual and reproductive health; and (2) highlighting injustices. As such, 'sexual justice' is fighting for legitimacy in the truth stakes. There is a distinct paucity of papers tackling the translation of 'sexual justice' into practice. South Africa dominates as the site in which papers on 'sexual justice' have been produced, but there is a lack of South-South collaboration. Two themes were apparent around which conceptions of sexual justice cohere. Firstly, sexual justice is seen as a vital, yet politically ambivalent goal, with neoliberal co-optation of progressive rights agendas being warned against. Secondly, sexual justice is viewed as a means, in which sexual justice is described as having potential to repair established frameworks' shortcomings and oppressive legacies.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"554-569"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141874379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It demonstrates the possibility of reconciling liberal discourses on reproductive choice with technocritical discourses on egg freezing as a risky and oppressive pronatalist technology. While medical complications, false hope and commercial abuse were longstanding concerns in Singapore, these risks were perceived as reconcilable with choice through an age limit, mandatory counselling and comparative frames from the national and international regulatory context. Additionally, low fertility rates and efforts to advance gender equality enabled the reconciliation of choice and pronatalism as policy justifications, while the construction of female candidates' heteronormative reproductive desire framed pronatalism in women-centric ways. Such reconciliation was facilitated by Singapore's strong interventionist culture which normalises paternalism and pronatalism. Within this context and through actors' articulation of policy ideas, elective egg freezing was reinterpreted as a technology with manageable risks, and a hope technology for women and nation. A moral Singapore State which permits elective egg freezing while supporting the interests of women and society was thus co-produced by politicians, journalists and doctors.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"608-622"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141995514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Same-sex trained facilitators guided focus groups to generate discussions. Thematic analysis found that adolescents frequently expressed how conservative social norms, referred to as the 'culture of shame,' prohibited them from accessing and obtaining accurate SRH information. The 'taboo' surrounding SRH in Jordanian society made adolescents feel embarrassed and judged when seeking SRH information. Intergenerational dialogue regarding SRH was generally prohibited and limited. Despite the cultural shame surrounding reproduction and sexuality, participants identified diverse sources in their quest for adequate and reliable SRH information. This study underscores the need for culturally acceptable and youth-friendly SRH services and information. Efforts should be directed towards meeting adolescents, and young people's needs in this regard.

Thematic analysis was used and involved transcription, memo-writing and a multi-step, inductive coding process using MAXQDA. The findings highlight three areas of well-noted challenges for Black LGBTQ individuals: systemic barriers; lack of targeted support; and challenges to accessing services. Two strategic domains emerged as innovative approaches to support well-being: transcendental practices and intersectional sociopolitical awareness raising. Transcendental practices, ranging from fine arts and dance to reiki energy healing, offered avenues for healing and community-building. Intersectional sociopolitical awareness was described as crucial in informing and contributing to existing efforts to improve well-being such as therapeutic engagement with clients and facilitating mutual aid. The identified transcendental practices and political awareness offer promising avenues for holistic well-being and comprehensive approaches to challenges such as inequitable HIV burden. Recognising the convergence of identities and social power axes can inform future interventions to foster more inclusive and empowering health strategies for Black LGBTQ communities.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"591-607"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142119191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
