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}

For example, protests by Muslim parents against RSE in schools demonstrate not only the continued relevance of Islamic beliefs and values in modern-day society but, more profoundly, religion as a form of contemporary modernism. However, the perspectives of young Muslims on RSE are less known about. This paper explores the views of Australian Muslim youth on religion and RSE. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten Muslim students between the ages of 16 and 20. Findings suggest that for many young Muslims, Islam plays a crucial role in shaping their understandings of inclusive RSE, influencing their feelings, attitudes and behaviours. The findings suggest that both acceptance of, and resistance to, particular topics within RSE are religiously motivated. Ways to improve RSE so as to promote more pluralistic viewpoints leaned on religious teachings of tolerance and respect. For many young Muslims, religious perspectives on RSE provide ethical, ontological and epistemological security, paving the way for new ways of understanding sex, sexuality, and different sexual identities.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"941-954"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144246875","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}

Using an intersectionality framework and identity process theory, the study examines how overlapping identities - ethnicity, religion, and sexuality - shape their lived experiences. Semi-structured interviews with 11 men led to the development of two primary themes: negotiating intersecting identities and disclosure management. Participants described the emotional toll of compartmentalisation and selective disclosure, as they navigated the pressures within Arab and LGBTQ+ communities, where culture, religion, and sexuality intersect to shape identity negotiation. Compartmentalisation emerged as a means to navigate family expectations and cultural constraints, though often at the cost of emotional isolation and self-acceptance. Study findings highlight the multiple pressures gay Arab Australian men face within both cultural and LGBTQ+ spaces, exacerbated by racialised stereotypes and conflicting cultural and religious expectations. Findings contribute to theories of identity negotiation, providing insights into resilience strategies and challenges. Implications include the need for culturally sensitive health services that consider the unique familial and cultural dynamics of culturally diverse sexuality minorities, and advocacy for inclusive policies to support marginalised LGBTQ+ populations.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"924-940"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144141652","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}

Despite the inclusion of the HPV vaccine in the national immunisation program, uptake among adolescent girls remains low. This study explored sociocultural and religious factors that shape vaccine acceptance among adolescent girls in rural Ethiopia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions with adolescent girls (vaccinated and unvaccinated), parents, public health workers, and community leaders in Gurage and Hadiya zones. Thematic analysis was conducted. Five key themes were developed: (1) limited knowledge and awareness; (2) cultural stigma surrounding reproductive health; (3) religious resistance to biomedical interventions; (4) parental and community influence; and (5) fear of vaccine-related side effects such as infertility. Parental and community influence appeared to both facilitate and discourage vaccine acceptance, while lack of knowledge and awareness, cultural stigma, and fear of vaccine-related side effects acted as discouragers. HPV vaccine acceptance in rural Ethiopia is shaped by complex social, cultura and religious factors. Interventions must go beyond awareness campaigns to include community engagement, religious leader advocacy, and parental education to improve vaccine uptake.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"978-989"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145741462","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}

Internally displaced adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa face a heightened risk for poor sexual and reproductive health. Insights into their beliefs about contraceptive use and the barriers they encounter are limited. This study aimed to investigate the underlying beliefs towards contraceptive use and the challenges faced among internally displaced adolescents aged 15-19 years in Nigeria. I employed a cross-sectional qualitative design, including 27 in-depth interviews and 17 focus-group discussions conducted with internally displaced adolescent boys and girls (N = 126) across nine internally displaced persons camps. Results identified negative injunctive normative beliefs regarding premarital sex and contraceptive use, and misconceptions about modern contraceptive methods (behavioural beliefs) as important factors hindering the uptake and use of modern contraception. Key barriers identified at the community level were experienced stigma and discrimination among adolescents trying to access modern contraception and general financial incapability. Reducing stigma and overt discrimination surrounding premarital sex and the use of contraceptives for adolescents and young people is necessary to increase the uptake of modern contraceptives by adolescents living in internally displaced persons camps.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"907-923"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144224637","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 contends that some women engage in these practices to create an ideal state of the vagina and the body so as to enable them to achieve optimal womanhood and experience sexual pleasure. It draws on data from a qualitative ethnographic study that examined the use of vaginal practices by women in Tshitatshawa village in the Tsholotsho district in Zimbabwe which explored common vaginal practices in that setting. Vaginal practices have a catalytic role to play in achieving sexual pleasure and in shaping the concept of an 'ideal' woman. The impact of both primary and secondary socialisation on the perpetuation of vaginal practices by women was explored. Issues related to women's agency and autonomy vis-à-vis vaginal practices use were examined. The research concludes that vaginal practices are integral to the construction of womanhood and the attainment of women's sexual pleasure. Through these practices, women exercise bodily autonomy and express their agency in ways that also enable them to attain sexual pleasure.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1002-1012"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145854792","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}

Values rooted in colonialism and Catholicism, particularly the gendered construct of marianismo, may strongly shape sexual attitudes and behaviours. This exploratory study examined the relationship between marianismo, as measured by the Marianismo Beliefs Scale (MBS), masturbation guilt and frequency among cisgender Latinas in the USA. One hundred and fifty self-identified Latina/Chicana/Hispanic cisgender women living in the USA completed an online survey including the MBS and the Negative Attitudes Towards Masturbation Inventory. Responses on four of the five marianismo subscales (Family Pillar, Virtuous and Chaste, Spiritual Pillar and Silencing Self to Maintain Harmony) were positively associated with masturbation guilt. Although responses on these subscales did not directly predict masturbation frequency, greater guilt was significantly linked to reduced masturbation frequency. These findings suggest that scripts promoting self-sacrifice, chastity, and spiritual purity may indirectly limit sexual agency and self-exploration among cisgender Latinas. The study adds to the literature advocating for the exploration of gendered beliefs in understandings of sexuality and highlights how internalised values influence intimate behaviours.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1013-1023"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145910878","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 study is the first to examine menstrual customs and lived experiences of tribal women living in rural southern Karnataka, specifically at the edges of Nagarahole and Bandipur National Parks. In-depth interviews were conducted with 28 women from four tribes across 18 villages. Transcripts were translated from Kannada to English and analysed using grounded theory. Findings reveal that members of the Betta Kuruba, Soliga, and Yerava tribes exhibited comparable menstrual practices, whereas Jenu Kuruba women adhered to slightly different and often more restrictive customs. Despite limited menstrual knowledge, attitudes towards menstruation across all four tribes were generally positive, with women largely rejecting notions of menstrual impurity. Mothers emphasised the importance of their daughters' ongoing schooling during menstruation and expressed a willingness to grant them autonomy in future menstrual decision-making. While these findings suggest a more positive perception of menstruation than is commonly found in India, they also underscore the need for targeted menstrual education. This study contributes to the limited scholarship on menstruation among tribal populations in India, offering insights for culturally responsive health interventions and policy decisions.","PeriodicalId":10799,"journal":{"name":"Culture, Health & Sexuality","volume":" ","pages":"955-967"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13344381/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145629415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
