We previously conducted a content analysis of 182 anatomical illustrations from eight college-level human sexuality textbooks, finding only 12.6% of images represented medium skin tones and 1.1% of images represented dark skin tones. Building upon these findings, we held four focus groups with 19 college students of colour at a US university to examine students' beliefs about existing anatomical illustrations from human sexuality textbooks. We then conducted two follow-up focus groups where we shared commissioned illustrations reflecting greater diversity in skin colour, body types, and body characteristics. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Three themes were generated from the focus groups: 1) implications of skin tone bias and white normativity; 2) harmful impacts of idealistic and unrepresentative body portrayals on self-esteem and body image; and 3) positive impacts of representative and inclusive imagery. Our findings demonstrate how unrepresentative images have adverse implications for mental wellbeing and body image, while sustaining structural injustices. Including more representative images within educational materials could positively impact self-esteem, body image, and belonging for students.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148759370","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}

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual and/or gender marginalised (LGBTQ+) people often turn to LGBTQ+ communities to connect, feel safe, and avoid overly internalising stressors they face. Belonging in LGBTQ+ communities, while beneficial, has yet to be conceptualised specifically from LGBTQ+ people's perspectives. In this study, 404 LGBTQ+ adults, surveyed via Prolific, responded to an open-ended survey question to share the factors they believed contribute to their sense of belonging in LGBTQ+ communities. Using thematic analysis, the following six themes were developed: mutuality; accepting environments; identity and authenticity; having existing relationships in LGBTQ+ communities; active engagement; and LGBTQ+ representation. Findings provide nuance to existing conceptualisations of belonging and offer mental health practitioners identify potential areas to explore so as to help LGBTQ+ people develop a sense of belonging. Implications for research and advocacy are discussed.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148757649","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}

Conceptualising vasectomy beyond a biomedical intervention, the article positions vasectomy as a site of political contestation where masculinity, sexual expertise, fertility accountability, access to care, and memories of sterilisation abuse intersect. The results run counter to traditional explanations based solely on machismo. Instead, factors including low awareness, sexual dysfunction myths, Spanish-language counselling barriers, lack of insurance coverage for male contraception, female-focused family planning, provider bias, and medical mistrust from sterilisation abuse against Latina and Mexican-origin women help explain the Hispanic-White vasectomy disparity. Recent increases in vasectomy requests following the US Supreme Court ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organisation, which ended federal constitutional protection for abortion and returned its regulation to individual states, suggest that men will access permanent contraception when reproductive circumstances change. However, inequities may continue to limit Hispanic men's access and use unless sexual and reproductive health policy is culturally grounded, gender-balanced, linguistically accessible and responsive to the history of coercive sterilisation in the USA.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148697113","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}

Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study examined the prevalence of institutional (dis)trust among a sample (n = 647) of LGBTQ+ adults in Malaysia, and the factors that influenced their institutional (dis)trust. Using descriptive analyses and generalised linear regression to explore demographic differences in the prevalence of institutional (dis)trust across police, political, law, and media institutions, we found that cisgender women, trans men, and non-binary participants (compared to cisgender men), as well as Malay and Indian participants (compared to Chinese), reported higher distrust towards different public institutions. Participants' open-ended responses (n = 228) were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis to identify three interrelated themes that described the factors influencing LGBTQ+ people's institutional (dis)trust: 1) being the target of scapegoating, 2) fear of dehumanisation, and 3) waning hope for the future. The findings highlight the need to strategically address institutional discrimination towards LGBTQ+ people in Malaysia, as a means for bolstering their institutional trust and improving their long-term health and well-being.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148683833","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}

Drawing on talanoa with 16 mental health practitioners supporting Sāmoan women aged 18-24, the study identifies a consistent pattern: depression often masks long-silenced experiences of CSA. Disclosures typically emerge after several years of silence, shaped by cultural and familial norms that restrict conversations about sexual harm within Sāmoan communities. Practitioners described recognising trauma through relational and culturally attuned engagement rather than direct disclosure. Their accounts echo international evidence on delayed CSA disclosure among minoritised populations, while highlighting the cultural factors shaping help-seeking for Sāmoan women. By centring practitioners' interpretations, the study underscores the need for trauma-informed, culturally grounded mental health responses that acknowledge both shared and culturally specific dimensions of silence, disclosure and healing. Strengthening practitioners' capacity to recognise and respond to hidden trauma is critical for supporting young Sāmoan women whose experiences often remain unrecognised within mental health systems. The findings also emphasise the importance of locally grounded approaches, recognising that while patterns may echo across Pacific communities, pathways to healing must remain culturally specific.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148683795","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}

Latines are one of the fastest growing sub-populations in USA warranting urgent action to remediate inequities. Because of this, a better understanding of stress and coping pathways is needed to improve targeted programmes and interventions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 queer AMAB Latine participants aged 18 to 68 in the continental USA, representing diverse socioeconomic and life experiences. Thematic analyses explored perspectives on health, gender, masculinity, stressors, and coping strategies. Participants defined health holistically and described chronic stress as shaped by structural factors, including the sociopolitical climate, institutional barriers, family obligations, and rigid gender expectations. Participants also described actively renegotiating masculinity and drawing on cultural pride, community, and collective care as sources of resilience, wellbeing, and joy. Findings underscore the need for approaches that address systemic inequities while also attending to the existing assets queer AMAB Latine individuals draw upon in order to survive and thrive. Study findings invite a shift from deficit-based models towards frameworks that highlight cultural strengths, relational care, joy, and locally grounded practices of coping and wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148683771","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}

Current approaches to reproductive health have failed to bring the thriving and wellbeing they once promised to the 'marginalised majority' in the world. Re-worlding reproductive health requires: 1) the decolonisation and Indigenisation of reproductive rights; 2) an ongoing process to contest coloniality and reverse its ongoing effects; 3) the right to define our own realities; and 4) imagining into action a world fit for our descendants. Future knowledge-making in relation to reproductive health should draw upon diverse epistemes and inclusive research methods, and address disparities in academic publishing. People seeking care within reproductive health settings often experience racism and structural violence, compounded by poverty, illiteracy, patriarchy, heterosexism and global economic stratification. Reproduction gives rise to future generations for whose survival we need to address environmental pollution and climate change as integral to a thriving future.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148677424","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}
