The IEMSS has not been validated dyadically in same-sex couples. This study aimed to examine the sexual satisfaction of 228 Spanish same-sex couples (116 male dyads and 112 female dyads) from the IEMSS perspective. Both men and women surveyed reported high levels of sexual and relationship satisfaction, as well as elevated scores on all IEMSS components. Men's sexual satisfaction was explained by their own relationship satisfaction, the balance of sexual rewards and costs, and the comparison level of sexual rewards and costs. Women's sexual satisfaction was explained by the same variables as men's and by their partner's balance of sexual rewards and costs and the comparison level of sexual rewards and costs. Consistent with most previous evidence, we found no effect of equality components on sexual satisfaction beyond the bivariate level. These results expand current knowledge on sexual satisfaction and its correlates in same-sex couples. Although no partner effects were found in the sample of male couples, our findings highlight the importance of assessing both partners to understand the dyadic dynamics that determine sexual satisfaction, especially in the case of women, for whom sexual satisfaction is linked to the experiences manifested by both members of the couple. The current results have implications for improving the sexual well-being and quality of life of same-sex couples.</p>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145129933","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}

Scholars of sexuality have suggested that painful stimuli can be interpreted and experienced as pleasurable depending on their context, and that individuals are able to enjoy and take pleasure from acts involving pain. In the current study, I rely on 302 in-depth interviews to examine viewers’ perceptions and preferences regarding the intersection of pleasure and pain in pornography, particularly when female performers are the recipients of sexual aggression. Many viewers (particularly women) found some displays of pain in response to aggression arousing, especially when videos combined elements of pleasure and pain. Many of them also believed that pleasure and pain were closely intertwined, perhaps even inseparable. These findings are in line with emerging literature in the study of sexuality that rejects or problematizes traditional simplistic dichotomies between pleasure and pain.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"54 8","pages":"3235 - 3250"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145127039","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}

This phenomenon encompasses both entirely fictional content and deepfake pornography, which involves non-consensual depictions of celebrities and private individuals. While non-consensual deepfake pornography has sparked widespread concern, the broader range of experiences associated with AI pornography remains under-researched. This study aimed to address this gap by examining the spectrum of AI pornography experiences as shared on Reddit, adopting a communication process perspective. Specifically, it explored the following research questions (RQ): How do Reddit users address the production (RQ1), content (RQ2), use (RQ3), effects (RQ4), and ethical-legal implications (RQ5) of AI pornography in their posts? A total of 390 English-language public Reddit posts related to AI pornography were collected in August 2024 and analyzed using a manual quantitative content analysis guided by a reliability-tested codebook (mean Cohen's kappa = 0.88). The analysis revealed that the production (RQ1: 59.5%) and content (RQ2: 60.8%) of AI pornography were the most frequently discussed topics, while use experiences (RQ3: 12.8%) were the least represented. Effects (RQ4: 37.2%) and ethical-legal implications (RQ5: 35.1%) were addressed in approximately one-third of posts. The AI pornography experiences addressed in Reddit posts ranged from outrage and concern regarding its actual and potential harms to curiosity, enjoyment, and economic benefits, underscoring the need for a nuanced response from policymakers, technology developers, educators, and mental health professionals.","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145083386","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}

Theory-driven studies have increasingly shown that intersectionality is critical to inform research on distress and discrimination among sexual minorities. Extant literature, however, has often examined discrimination and distress as homogeneous constructs. Overlooking nuances in specific forms of discrimination and distress may mask the potential effects of intersectionality in investigating sociodemographic factors that intersect with minoritization in sexual minority populations. Additionally, empirically deriving intersections among a broad set of sociodemographic factors in terms of their influences on discrimination and distress can offer new insights for population subgroups. The current study identified sociodemographic correlates (e.g., age cohort, race, gender identity, sexual identity, education, urbanicity, and poverty) related to patterns of specific distress and discrimination. These patterns are each related to subgroups within sexual minorities defined by intersections of these sociodemographic correlates. We applied a novel data mining method—the multivariate conditional inference tree—to a nationally representative sample of US adults of sexual minorities (<i>N</i> = 1518) from 2016 to 2018. We identified three groups—adults, adults in poverty, and bisexual and other sexual minority adults—that showed elevated patterns of minority stress. Theoretically, we found minority stress among sexual minority adults in the USA to be heterogeneous. Methodologically, we demonstrated that conditional inference tree modeling is an important tool to better position intersectionality studies moving forward to inform policy and intervention development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"54 8","pages":"3205 - 3222"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145051831","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}

The majority of research concerning problematic pornography use (PPU), often referred to as pornography addiction, discusses nomenclature rather than having an applied focus. Given the lack of theoretical development in this area, a constructivist grounded theory was undertaken with the aim of creating an understanding of the development and maintenance of PPU. All participants were required to have self-reported PPU and were recruited from online sources. A total of 258 journals of pornography use and 21 semi-structured interviews were completed. Five interlinked categories were constructed from the data. All participants were seen as having distinct problems prior to their self-reported PPU. Over time, their pornography use changed function, from enjoyment to using habitually, instrumentally, or as a form of emotional regulation. The participants’ discovery of “having PPU” occurred by proxy, through an external means. When participants reached out for information, they were met with an addiction narrative and consequently saw themselves as addicted to pornography. Once this narrative was internalized, the participants displaced their distinct problems, the participants now saw their main problem as addiction, rather than their preexisting distinct problems. This process of displacement was conceptualized as the core category in this grounded theory in that it led participants to committing to a mission, attempting to conquer their addiction. Having once embarked upon their mission, the underlying distinct problems became secondary to the participants, often seen as resulting from their pornography use. The constructivist grounded theory was situated within current theory and research. Some aspects of the grounded theory were judged as having similarities to existing theories, but when taken as a whole it is proposed that the grounded theory, with its focus upon displacement, is original, having clear implications for future research and clinical application.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"54 7","pages":"2657 - 2670"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10508-025-03214-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145038911","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}
