Yet, sociocultural expectations may also impact women's sexual consent/refusal behaviors in the absence of partner pressure. We conducted a qualitative meta-synthesis to investigate factors contributing to incongruent sexual decision-making (i.e. internal feelings which are inconsistent with their consent/refusal behaviors) among women from westernized nations. A scoping review of eight databases was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Our search yielded 2,946 articles, with 41 meeting inclusion and quality appraisal criteria. Results revealed sources of incongruent consent/refusal behaviors through five themes: (1) women experience communication barriers, (2) women internalize relationship norms and prioritize men, (3) women experience situational pressure, (4) women experience a fear of sexual violence, and (5) women manage a double bind of sexual behavior. We propose a novel concept to understand sociocultural factors influencing people's consent/refusal behaviors that are incongruent with their internal feelings, labeled internalized sociocultural sexual pressure (ISSP). We conceptualize ISSP as a framework for internalizing sociocultural norms to a degree that they are influential or may even feel coercive, resulting in a spectrum of sexual consent/refusal behaviors, like acquiescing to unwanted sex and declining wanted sex. The intensity of ISSP experiences can vary significantly; some people may perceive these pressures as mild, whereas others may experience them to a degree that they feel coercive.","PeriodicalId":51361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex Research","volume":" ","pages":"1395-1412"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143069635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated identity disclosure and concealment among asexual individuals using strategic outness theory as a guiding framework. Fourteen asexual young adults aged 18 to 30 (n = 14; 6 men, 3 women, 4 nonbinary individuals, and 1 transgender man; M age = 24.50, SD = 2.88) were interviewed to explore their decisions about disclosing or concealing their asexual identity to different social groups, including family, friends, romantic partners, healthcare providers, and workmates. Participants most often disclosed to parents, siblings, and friends; they most often concealed their identity from extended family. Notably, many participants both disclosed and concealed their identity within certain relational contexts depending on perceived safety, necessity, and anticipated reactions. Thematic analysis identified four key motivations for disclosure: expected acceptance, a desire for authenticity, the perceived need for specific people to know, and relationship negotiation. Five themes were identified for concealment motivations: expectations of a negative emotional reaction, fear of rejection, fear of dismissal or invalidation, burden of representation, and concerns that disclosure would harm a relationship. Findings highlight the complex, context-specific factors influencing asexual individuals' decisions to disclose or conceal their identity, underscoring the emotional and social costs associated with these processes. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on asexuality by providing new insights into how asexual individuals manage their sexual identity across different relational contexts.","PeriodicalId":51361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex Research","volume":" ","pages":"1241-1252"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144267872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While research extensively documents the sexual behaviors of Latinx SMM, there is a lack of research examining the influence of their online experiences specifically. Addressing this gap, the present study investigated the influence of appearance- related social media consciousness (ASMC) and geosocial networking (GSN) app use intensity on sexual risk behaviors among a sample of 438 Latinx SMM. The study also explored the potential moderating effects of traditional machismo and acculturation in the aforementioned associations. Results revealed that both ASMC and GSN app use intensity were positively associated with sexual risk behaviors. Furthermore, acculturation moderated the positive significant association between ASMC and sexual risk behaviors, such that the association was only significant among Latinx SMM who reported high levels of acculturation. Traditional machismo did not moderate any of the other associations. Overall, these findings highlight the complex ways in which Latinx SMM's online experiences are influenced by cultural values and processes, and how these experiences are related to their sexual behaviors.","PeriodicalId":51361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sex Research","volume":" ","pages":"1280-1291"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143606999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this qualitative study, sixty Somali women between the ages 20 and 45 and living in the U.S. shared their perspectives on how FGC has affected their sexual lives, including how they have coped with any complications attributed to FGC. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling and interviewed by a bilingual community researcher in either Somali or English.

Themes included sexual desire, arousal, and pleasure; sexual satisfaction; sexual pain at first intercourse; coping with sexual pain at first intercourse; long-term sexual pain, coping with long-term sexual pain.
