This study explores how plurisexual and asexual individuals make sense of their sexual orientation. Across several studies, participants (n = 2,306) completed demographic questionnaires related to their gender and sexual identity while also responding to the Kinsey Scale. Additionally, participants wrote open-ended responses explaining why they had selected a particular sexual identity or Kinsey score earlier in the survey. The authors used an abductive reflective thematic analysis to review these open-ended responses, focusing on whether responses aligned with a dominant model of sexual orientation (i.e., behaviour-identity-attraction). While many participants described their choice of sexual identity label and Kinsey score using at least one aspect of the behaviour-identity-attraction trichotomy, not all responses fit within this model. For example, participants emphasized their attraction to individual characteristics other than gender/sex, distinguished between romantic and sexual attraction, and discussed plurisexuality and experiences of sexual fluidity. Traditional measures of sexual orientation may not be adequate when working with sexually diverse samples. Researchers should consider how best to conceptualize sexual orientation and other related constructs, including emotional/romantic attraction, sexual fluidity, and the role of gender expression in processes of attraction and identity construction.","PeriodicalId":51789,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135687476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gillespie","doi":"10.3138/cjhs.2023-0017","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3138/cjhs.2023-0017","url":null,"abstract":"While women experience pressure to be more feminine/less masculine, recent years have documented their simultaneous experiences of feeling pressured to be more masculine/less feminine. This phenomenon can be linked to the concept of femmephobia – the way femininity is devalued and regulated across bodies, identities, and various social locations. Despite the accumulating research documenting the existence of femmephobia across identities, how women respond to these experiences remains unexplored. Thus, the current study examined women’s ( N = 97) responses to femmephobia. Participants were asked to describe whether (and how) they attempted to modify any of the feminine expressions they felt were targeted in the femmephobic incident they reported. Results of the thematic analysis supported the hypothesized response types of amplification, suppression, and no change to feminine expressions following the femmephobic incident. We found that women overwhelmingly suppressed their femininity in response to femmephobia. Strikingly, while some women reported not making any changes, almost none of the respondents reported amplifying their feminine expressions in response to a femmephobic incident (and the few who did were all LGBTQ+). We theorize these findings in the context of women’s gender policing more broadly, specifically the tension between gender norms (pressure to be more feminine/less masculine) and femmephobia (pressure to be less feminine/more masculine). We argue that the frequency of suppressing femininity in response to femmephobia suggests that, when faced with contradictory gender messages, femmephobia may be more influential than considered by previous research.","PeriodicalId":51789,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135687472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Those who witness sexual aggression among their peers can provide another vantage point regarding the strategies that perpetrators use and valuable information about ways in which perpetrators divert bystanders’ intervention—all information that can inform prevention programs. Participants ( N = 247) completed structured and open-ended items about occasions they had witnessed that involved efforts to force sex on a non-consenting individual. Reports were content coded for strategies leading to sexual aggression for 99 participants who had witnessed a recent alleged act of sexual aggression. Most (93%) reported perpetrators’ use of early physical pressure (e.g., unwanted grinding, following, isolating, violating personal space, pulling, blocking others) that typically escalated into more overt physical pressure and force. Verbal coercion (e.g., arguing, insisting, begging) was witnessed by 40% of participants, and 14% of participants reported witnessing the target being pressured to consume excessive levels of alcohol. Coded themes captured perpetrators’ defensive interactions with concerned bystanders, such as making excuses, minimizing their intentions, feigning innocence, and using humour to divert attention from sexually aggressive efforts. Results have implications for prevention efforts incorporating bystanders as well as education about the risk of assault.","PeriodicalId":51789,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135687588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addressed this gap by examining whether shame played a mediating role in the relationship between discrimination and the mental health outcomes (i.e., social anxiety and psychological distress) of asexual individuals, as well as whether social support moderated the association between discrimination and shame. Data for this cross-sectional study were collected through an online questionnaire as part of the VisaJe project, which examined the stigmatization of sexually inexperienced emerging adults. Validated scales were used to measure the study variables among a sample of 177 asexual individuals aged between 18 and 42. Structural equation modelling revealed that social support did not have a moderating effect on the relationship between discrimination and shame. However, after controlling for variables such as social support, gender, developmental period and ethnic minority status, the results indicated that shame partially mediated the relationship between discrimination and psychological distress, and fully mediated the relationship between discrimination and social anxiety. These findings indicate that asexual individuals face similar pathways linking discrimination to mental health, mirroring those observed in other sexual minority groups, as they derogate from the norms of compulsory sexuality. However, general support may not serve as a protective factor for asexual individuals facing discrimination. The implications of these findings for future studies and professional practice are discussed.","PeriodicalId":51789,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135685861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Canadian Guidelines for Sexual Health Education ( SIECCAN, 2019 ) specify nine Core Principles of Comprehensive Sexual Health Education that should inform the planning and delivery of sexual health education programs. This study examines parental/guardian attitudes towards the Core Principles and determines whether attitudes vary based on demographic and regional variables. Two thousand parents/guardians from across Canada completed an online questionnaire assessing demographic characteristics and overall agreement with each of the Core Principles. There was strong consensus among parents/guardians; 73% to 85% support the inclusion of the nine Core Principles in the planning and development of sexual health education programs. We tested agreement with Core Principles in two ways: first using averaged scores across all Core Principle items, then across individual Core Principles. We found some statistically significant effects based on parent/guardian gender, educational attainment, region of residence, and importance of religion, however all effect sizes were small (between 1%–4% variance accounted for) suggesting these were not particularly meaningful. Therefore, findings demonstrate parental/guardian support across Canada for the Core Principles of Comprehensive Sexual Health Education. Understanding parents’/guardians’ attitudes towards the philosophical underpinnings of sexual health education provides policymakers with a firmer understanding of parental perspectives which may be particularly salient as new issues emerge in public discourse about the content of sexual health education in schools.","PeriodicalId":51789,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135686249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
