However, their sexual activity and function are largely unknown. We investigated the influence of sustained moderate to vigorous exercise on sexual life using a model of masters athletes.Methods: A 55-item survey adapted from previous American Association of Retired People (AARP) sexuality study were distributed to masters athletes associations. The responses from 166 masters athletes were compared with AARP dataset that represented a general population.Results: Both male and female masters athletes demonstrated more frequent sexual desire and greater involvements in different types of sexual activities (i.e., kissing or hugging, touching or caressing, sexual intercourse, oral sex, and self-stimulation; all p < 0.05). Sexual satisfaction was greater in female masters athletes than in female general population (p = 0.025), but no such group difference was observed in men. Male athletes had a lower degree of erectile dysfunction. No difference was observed in orgasm frequency between the two population groups. Age-associated decline in sexual activity was apparent in general population (p < 0.05) but absent in masters athletes. Females recorded lower engagements in partner-involved sexual behaviors than men in the general population, but no such gender difference was observed in women. The primary factor predicting improvement in sexual satisfaction was \"better health for myself\" (29.7%) in the general population, whereas master athletes identified \"better health for partner\" (23.5%).Conclusion: Masters athletes in general and female athletes in particular demonstrate superior sexual function, satisfaction, and behavior presumably due to their better overall health status.","PeriodicalId":46855,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sexual Health","volume":"35 1","pages":"82-90"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10903591/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47799282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether sex doll ownership should be protected as a sexual right that facilitates sexual health or whether its usage might be harmful to women and society is vividly discussed. In this polarized debate, empirical research is scarce and possible differentiations in the psychological functions of sex dolls remain nearly unknown. To further explore sex doll ownership, this study conducted five in-depth interviews with sex doll users and collected 131 written reports on sex doll ownership in an online survey with open and closed questions. In a mixed-methods approach, the data was then analyzed using Mayring's Qualitative Content Analysis and quantitative measures. Although the demographics of sex doll users are homogenous (single heterosexual males), results indicate that the use is divers. Sex dolls are mostly used as masturbatory aid, as substitutes for human partners, and as synthetic partners. We explore the similarities and differences between these kinds of usage and propose that a differentiation of sex doll use can enrich current research on social robotics, anthropomorphism, and misogyny.","PeriodicalId":46855,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sexual Health","volume":"34 1","pages":"728-746"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10903549/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46684834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In view of its global impact on public health, the potential association between food insecurity and RSBs among university students requires investigation. This study aimed to determine the association between food security status and the likelihood to engage in RSBs amongst university students in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa (SA). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at four public sector higher educational institutions (HEIs) in KZN. A convenience sampling strategy was used to recruit participants (N = 375). All data were analyzed using STATA version 15 software. Results: Our data shows that food insecurity increased the odds of students engaging in transactional sex for \"money\" or \"to meet basic material needs.\" Participants who were food insecure were two times more likely to have multiple sexual partners. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate a significant association between food insecurity and RSBs. It is recommended that interventions targeting the alleviation of food insecurity, should be developed and implemented by HEIs to reduce RSB participation.","PeriodicalId":46855,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sexual Health","volume":"34 1","pages":"540-549"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10903610/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42141411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The few studies that have examined the views of both parents and adolescents are selective in scope, coverage, and assessment. There is thus, a dearth of data on the type of topics discussed and the frequency of parent-adolescent sexual communication. The present study sought to explore adolescents' lived experiences of sexuality education and its impact on their sexual and reproductive health. To achieve this, a qualitative research design with a semi-structured interview was employed to gather data from thirty parents and adolescents in Ablekuma South Metropolis. An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used in analyzing the data with each theme showing divergence categories of experiences of sexuality education although the views of both parents and adolescents on each category were similar. Parent-adolescent sex communication showed frequently discussed topics and the less discussed ones. Perceptions of sexuality education revealed both positive and negative perceptions. Perceived impact of sexuality education also brought to light both positive and negative impacts. It is recommended that stakeholders ought to institutionalize diverse behavior change interventions such as interpersonal communication and skills training aimed at empowering both parents and adolescents to communicate explicitly about sexuality rather than using euphemisms and timing techniques.","PeriodicalId":46855,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sexual Health","volume":"34 1","pages":"550-566"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10903590/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44417138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an attempt to unravel which cultural, relational, and individual variables are related to the development of SA in emerging adults, an exploratory study was conducted in Cuenca, Ecuador. Methods: Five hundred and thirty-eight participants completed scales that measured their levels of SA, endorsement of the sexual double standard, relationship satisfaction, and mental well-being. Results: This study showed a negative effect of the sexual double standard on SA in both men and women and this effect was slightly tempered by the level of education. Women reported higher levels of SA than men. In women, SA was associated with general mental well-being and relationship satisfaction; but not in men. For both women and men, no association was found with relationship status or duration. Conclusions: These findings corroborate evidence highlighting the importance of SA for healthy sexual relationships and emphasize the importance of (sex) education for SA for lower educated women and men. The results are discussed in relation to findings on SA in other contexts.","PeriodicalId":46855,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sexual Health","volume":"34 1","pages":"679-690"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10903662/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60038285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
