The results revealed an autism prevalence rate of 6.9% among individuals on the asexual spectrum, which is higher than the prevalence rate in general populations. Autistic individuals had a stronger identification with their sexual orientation than non-autistic counterparts. They were also more likely to disclose their asexual identity, be in a partnered relationship with others on the asexual or aromantic spectrum, and participate in online LGBTQ communities. The results emphasize the necessity for heightened awareness and understanding of the intersection between autism and asexuality among healthcare professionals, social service providers, and educators. The findings have significant implications for inclusive and affirming sexuality education for individuals on the autism spectrum.

A total of 136 patients referred to the Nantes University Hospital for sex addiction between 2013 and 2022 were included. Sex addiction was diagnosed using Goodman’s scale for the diagnosis of behavioral addictions. Suicide risk was assessed using the suicidality module of the MINI 5.0. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with the presence of suicide risk. Suicide risk was detected among 46% of patients. Four variables were found to be associated with suicide risk: a higher proportion of relatives aware of the sex addiction, a higher frequency of anxiety disorders, a higher frequency of mood disorders and a lower level of self-directedness. The frequency of suicide risk in patients with behavioral addictions is greater than that reported in previous studies. Mood and anxiety disorders are two factors that are often found to be associated with suicide risk among individuals with sex addiction, while awareness of sex addiction by relatives and a low level of self-directedness are two factors that have not been previously identified. In fact, it may be relevant to improve the self-directedness dimension through psychotherapies and to consider the inclusion of the patient’s partner in the treatment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"54 6","pages":"2349 - 2361"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144282285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measurement consistency aids in comparing studies and informing interventions. This systematic review identifies available self-report outcome measurement instruments (OMI) assessing SHL in adolescents, explores the aspects of SHL they cover, and assess their psychometric quality. Guided by the COSMIN guidelines, a systematic search of 9 databases was conducted, focusing on studies between 2002 and 18 April 2023. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies developing and validating OMIs assessing SHL in adolescents aged 10–19 years, with a focus on self-report OMIs developed since 2002—the year the World Health Organization (WHO, 2006) defined sexual health as it is defined today (WHO, 2006). A narrative synthesis assessed the conceptual fit of identified instruments with SHL dimensions. The quality of the development studies was evaluated using COSMIN criteria. The review was preregistered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD42022303682). Out of 18,637 records, 83 studies examining 68 different OMIs were included. OMIs varied in their coverage of SHL dimensions, with appraisal and application of sexual health information most frequently addressed. The quality of OMI development was generally inadequate or doubtful, with deficiencies noted in involvement of the target population and piloting processes. Findings underscore the need for standardized, well-developed OMIs to measure SHL in adolescents. Despite availability, OMIs’ quality and alignment with SHL are insufficient. There is a clear need for improvement in OMI development processes, including greater involvement of the target population and more rigorous piloting procedures. Additionally, developing a comprehensive SHL measure will enhance comparability and promote adolescent sexual health understanding and interventions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"54 5","pages":"1737 - 1768"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12162768/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144232997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our research focused on the role of erotic capital in professional life, and considerations about private life were treated as a background for employment-related results. Erotic capital had been defined as a five-dimensional construct composed of 23 facets.

A total of 471 respondents participated in our study, comprising 344 women and 127 men. We used an online survey (computer-assisted web interview technique). We established that the most significant dimensions of erotic capital, pertinent to both professional and private life, were social attractiveness and liveliness. However, we did not determine the impact of erotic capital, understood as a five-dimensional construct, on human resource management decisions.

We report the case of G, a 17-year-old male high school student with Trisomy 21 syndrome and moderate intellectual disability. G’s parents requested an intervention to help their son acquire better adaptive sexual behavior skills—regarding appropriate management of masturbation, distinguishing between a public and a private place, managing aggression, and oppositional behavior—to avoid the risk of school exclusion and to improve his quality of sexual, emotional, and social life. Data on adaptive and maladaptive behaviors were collected using the Vineland-II and on sexual knowledge and behavior using the Sexual Knowledge and Behavior Assessment Tool. Both interviews were administered at the beginning (t1) and end (t2) of treatment. The Vineland-II was also administered 3 months after treatment (t3).
