While extensive research has examined the interpersonal sexual challenges associated with CSA, less is known about its association with solitary sexual behaviors such as masturbation, particularly the underlying motives or reasons. This study examined the mediating role of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in the relationship between CSA and three specific masturbation motives: mood improvement, relaxation/stress relief, and sexual arousal decrease. A sample of 624 adults (M = 29.51 years, SD = 10.23) completed an online survey assessing CSA history, PTSD symptoms, masturbation frequency, and motives for masturbation. Structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that PTSD fully mediated the associations between CSA and the three masturbation motives. Specifically, CSA was associated with higher PTSD symptoms, which, in turn, were linked to higher levels of masturbation motives related to mood improvement, relaxation, and sexual arousal decrease. Notably, the direct associations between CSA and masturbation motives were not statistically significant. These findings suggest that masturbation may serve as a coping mechanism-either as adaptive emotional regulation or, at times, as a maladaptive response involving avoidance or distress.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":"51 4","pages":"410-425"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144030888","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}

While major medical organizations endorse such interventions as medically necessary, the evidence supporting their long-term safety and efficacy remains limited. Research into hormonal, neuroanatomic, and genetic influences reveals a strong biological basis for gender identity, challenging social constructionist arguments. There is a lack of robust, long-term studies that definitively demonstrate the outcomes of gender-affirming medical treatments, such as puberty blockers or hormone therapy, for minors. Questions remain about how these interventions affect physical health (e.g., bone density, fertility) and mental well-being over decades. These gaps in the evidence, particularly for adolescents, raise ethical concerns about the appropriateness of irreversible medical treatments. This analysis highlights the tension between the social constructivist framework of gender and the medicalization of gender dysphoria. It explores the implications of rising desistance rates, co-occurring mental health conditions, and increasing non-binary identities within current clinical paradigms. Drawing on evidence from cases involving gender detransitioning, the impact of hormones, and neurological development in both straight, gay, and trans individuals, the paper underscores the importance of cautious, evidence-based approaches that prioritize psychological maturity and comprehensive mental health assessments. Ultimately, the paper advocates for rigorous longitudinal research, enhanced mental health evaluations, and the development of noninvasive therapeutic options in particular anda reevaluation of treatment models to ensure ethically sound and scientifically supported care for individuals experiencing gender dysphoria.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"200-210"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143007476","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}

Participants completed an online survey, including a sociodemographic questionnaire, an inventory of sex toy usage, and validated measures of erotophobia and sexual satisfaction.

Women, younger adults, self-identified virgins, homosexual or bi/pansexual individuals, and those with a history of childhood sexual victimization were more likely to report sex toy use. Sex toy users reported higher sexual satisfaction and lower erotophobia in both solo and partnered contexts than those who had not used sex toys.

However, the directionality of these relationships remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether sexual boredom mediates the relationship between partner and attractive-other sexual desire and sexual and relationship satisfaction in a sample of 1155 Portuguese women in long-term monogamous relationships. Participants, aged 18-66 years (M = 31.60, SD = 5.65), were involved in cohabiting relationships of 1 year or more. Linear regression analysis and Structural Equation Modeling were conducted, revealing that sexual boredom emerged as a stronger predictor of sexual and relationship satisfaction compared to dimensions of sexual desire. Additionally, sexual boredom partially mediated the relationship between partnered sexual desire and satisfaction and fully mediated the relationship between attractive other-related sexual desire and satisfaction variables. Notably, sexual boredom explained up to one-third of sexual satisfaction (32%) and slightly less of relationship satisfaction (27%). These findings underscore the importance of addressing sexual boredom in long-term relationships to promote women's sexual health. Furthermore, they suggest that experiencing sexual desire for attractive non-partners is not indicative of sexual and relationship dissatisfaction unless accompanied by sexual boredom.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"96-109"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142864739","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 study included 26 females diagnosed with OSAS. Analyses were made of the sociodemographic data and polysomnography (PSG) and PAP titration data. Before and after 2 months of PAP treatment, the patients were evaluated using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). There was determined to be a 2.67 ± 5.19 unit increase in the total FSFI measurements (p = 0.015, p < 0.05) post-PAP compared to before PAP treatment, and of the FSFI subscale measurements, a 0.65 ± 0.97 unit increase in desire (p = 0.002, p < 0.01) and a 0.75 ± 1.80 unit increase in satisfaction (p = 0.042, p < 0.05). These increases were determined to be statistically significant. The ESS measurements showed a statistically significant decrease of 2.04 ± 4.69 units from pre to post-PAP (p = 0.036, p < 0.05) and there was a 3.04 ± 6.27 unit decrease in the BDI measurements (p = 0.021, p < 0.05).

Body image and genital self-image, which is an aspect of body image, are significant issues. Women with a heightened focus on their physical appearance and negative body image are at an increased risk of experiencing sexual dysfunction linked to their body image. The aim of this research was to examine the relationships among sexual dysfunction, genital self-image, and body perception during sexual intercourse in the postpartum period and to explore the causes of sexual dysfunction. To accomplish these aims, a consecutive, mixed-methods study was performed, consisting of a survey (N = 379) and follow-up interviews (n = 24) with women up to 1 year postpartum in Turkey. Having a vaginal birth, being multipara, and desiring genital plastic surgery are associated with a negative genital self-image and sexual dysfunction in women postpartum. Negative genital self-image was also found to be associated with sexual dysfunction. When examined in-depth, complications during birth and the postpartum period (e.g., perineal trauma, episiotomy, lacerations, stitches), combined with preexisting problems, contributed to sexual dysfunction in women postpartum. The postpartum period is often a very sensitive time, during which women's lives may change completely. Birth complications that may affect their sexual lives and women's perceptions about their genital organs may be related to sexual dysfunction. Genital self-image needs to be addressed when providing postpartum care.","PeriodicalId":17171,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"129-141"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143074898","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}
