The study focuses on individuals affected by the Israel-Hamas conflict during 2023-2024, using a retrospective design to assess pre-war levels of sexual distress together with current levels of well-being. Participants' exposure to direct stressors, media-related stressors, and acute stress symptoms were evaluated alongside their sexual and psychological well-being. The results indicate significant associations between sexual distress and measures of well-being, with war-time stress moderating these relationships. Higher levels of stress exposure attenuated the negative associations between sexual distress and well-being, suggesting a buffering effect. This counterintuitive finding may be explained by the prioritization of immediate survival concerns and the activation of resilience mechanisms under extreme stress. The findings have important implications for clinicians and policymakers in conflict-affected regions, emphasizing the necessity for comprehensive, trauma-informed healthcare frameworks. By advancing the understanding of these dynamics, the study aims to contribute to the development of effective strategies to promote the well-being of individuals and communities impacted by armed conflicts. Future research should explore the proposed mechanisms through longitudinal studies and diverse data sources to further elucidate these relationships.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144667906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the current study was to use community input to identify needed adaptations to an evidence-based relationship education program (Within My Reach) to make it culturally-grounded for LSMM. We first conducted a \"theater test\" to provide training in the original curriculum to eight LSMM in South Florida. We also conducted two focus groups with topical experts. We elicited feedback about curriculum content to add, re-frame, or remove and used rapid qualitative analysis to distill themes and responsive adaptations. The data converged into four themes: (1) navigating Latino culture as a sexual minority man, (2) traversing sexual minority developmental experiences within Latino culture, (3) centering sex and sexual health, and (4) infusing strengths and optimism. Participants voiced a need for this type of tailored relationship skills program for LSMM. Findings point to key intersectional themes to incorporate when adapting relationship-focused programs for LSMM, which may also be translatable to other types of sexual and behavioral health interventions for LSMM.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144600785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two detailed case studies are used to demonstrate how the SHIP model can be applied in clinical practice via its 5 main components: sexual adaptation and resilience, sexual literacy, relational intimacy, multidisciplinary care, and pleasure-oriented positive sexuality. We also address the role of systemic, intersectional, empirical, lifespan, and biopsychosociocultural approaches in effective sex therapy treatment.

Most of this attention has focused on determining risk or identifying treatment needs in abuse prevention contexts. However, research into the ideologies (broadly defined as action-oriented belief systems) of people within this community is still scarce. This paper challenges the common assumption that people who are attracted to children are divisible into pro-contact and anti-contact groups on the issue of sexual interactions with children. Using one of the largest currently available online studies of individuals who are attracted to children (N = 389), a model and associated measurement tool is developed to show how ideological positioning is associated with views about the permissibility of sexual contact with children and the extent to which people experience self-acceptance. The data demonstrate how these ideological positions are linked to different self-labeling, treatment needs, and risk. This paper provides a novel framework for understanding the effects of different ideological positions for clinical practice and provide a professional assessment tool for use by therapists working with this population in treatment settings.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144506083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate construct validity, participants also completed the Sexual Opinion Survey, Sexual Disgust Questionnaire, International Index of Erectile Functioning or Female Sexual Function Index, Sexual Distress Scale, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Confirmatory Factor Analyses supported a 17-item model with satisfactory fit indices. The four subscales-birth control, communion, and instrumentality (3 items each), and permissiveness (8 items)-were confirmed. Factorial invariance across gender (male vs. female) and sexual orientation (heterosexual vs. non-heterosexual) was established. The BSAS demonstrated adequate internal consistency and test-retest reliability over a four-week interval. Construct validity was supported by strong evidence for convergent validity with related measures of sexual opinions and sexual disgust, as well as for discriminant validity with respect to conceptually distinct constructs, including sexual functioning, sexual distress, and symptoms of anxiety and depression. While replication is needed, the BSAS appears suitable for use in research. Further investigation is recommended to determine its appropriateness in clinical contexts.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144285083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comprehensive literature search was conducted in eight databases until January 30, 2025, with no language restrictions. Data analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4.1, and the certainty of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. This meta-analysis included 15 studies with a total of 14,737 participants. Although circumcision was associated with higher sexual satisfaction levels compared to noncircumcised men (OR: 2.48, 95% CI: 1.62-3.79, p < 0.00001), the findings should be interpreted with caution due to significant heterogeneity among the studies. Additionally, circumcised men reported a small but statistically significant improvement in erectile function (MD: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.11-0.46, p = 0.002) and a reduced likelihood of dyspareunia (OR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.16-0.88, p = 0.03), suggesting possible improvements in comfort during intercourse. Furthermore, circumcision was linked to a lower risk of orgasm difficulties (OR: 0.26, 95% CI: 0.10-0.73, p = 0.01). However, the impact on premature ejaculation remains inconclusive, indicating a need for further research. Overall, this meta-analysis suggests that male circumcision may have potential positive effects on certain aspects of sexual function, particularly sexual satisfaction and erectile function. Nonetheless, the clinical significance of these findings is uncertain, and further investigation is warranted given the heterogeneity observed.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144078732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interest toward sexual domination and/or submission has historically been pathologized and linked with higher levels of sexo-relational distress. Guided by sexual script theory, the consideration of one's attitudes toward gender roles (GR), as either gender transcendent or gender-linked, might help identify different profiles of clients in sex therapy. To our knowledge, studies have yet to explore the different profiles while considering both SPD and GR. The scarcity of research on these variables limits our understanding of their implications for individuals' sexo-relational well-being. The current study aimed to explore the presence of latent profiles based on SPD and GR reported by clients in sex therapy, and to compare the resulting profiles on possible correlates (i.e., sociodemographic characteristics, romantic attachment, relationship and sexual satisfaction). A sample of 325 adults in sex therapy, completed self-reported questionnaires at intake. Results revealed three profiles: (1) Dominant stereotypical thinkers (3.7%), (2) Tender conflicted traditionalists (15.4%), and (3) Flexible and coherent lovers (80.9%). Inter-profile comparisons revealed significant differences regarding gender, age, avoidant attachment and relationship satisfaction.
