Existing research suggests that its growing prevalence is partly a consequence of its popular construction as “risky yet safe.” Few studies have directly examined how people frame and engage in choking/strangulation in terms of “safety”—what people think it means for strangulation to be (or not be) “safe” and how people think safety during strangulation can be achieved. Drawing on qualitative text responses from a survey collected in 2023, this paper examined whether and how Australian adults aged between 18–35 perceived choking/strangulation in terms of “safety.” We identified and discussed four main themes arising from the data: choking/strangulation during sex can be safe; pressure/intensity is a safety mechanism; consent is a safety mechanism; and trust and communication are necessary. In consideration of these themes, we suggest that many Australian young people are not aware of the risks of choking/strangulation during sex and frequently equate pressure/intensity and consent, within a trusting relationship, with safety. Given the significant risks and harms associated with any sexual choking/strangulation and the resultant difficulty in achieving safe use, we concluded that appropriate education and information should be provided to young people.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"54 2","pages":"483 - 494"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10508-025-03097-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143125361","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}

The objective of this research is to identify the metaphorical perceptions of older adults' sexuality held by academics, employing a phenomenological methodology. This study was conducted with the participation of 164 academicians. The research data were collected between March–April 2022. The evaluation of the metaphors created about the concept of older adults' sexuality employed content analysis techniques. The metaphors pertaining to the perceptions of academics regarding the sexuality of older adults were classified into four categories and 11 sub-themes: \"Perceptions that sexuality as natural,\" \"Diminishing sexuality,\" \"Sexuality as love, affection and friendship,\" and \"Sexuality as hidden and stigmatized.\" The majority of the metaphors created by the academic researchers were found to contain negative themes related to the sexuality of older adults.

This study aimed to explore the prevalence and relationships of these behaviors among MSM with new drug abuse. A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to June 2021, involving 453 MSM in Jinan, China. Participants completed an online questionnaire assessing behaviors over the past six months. Multiple linear regressions were conducted to investigate the correlations among the three behaviors. Results showed that 88.7% consumed sexually explicit media, and 48.3% experienced sexual violence. Regarding sexual risk behaviors, the prevalence rates for group sex, condomless anal intercourse, and commercial sex were 29.1%, 76.4%, and 11.0%, respectively. New drug abuse was positively correlated with sexual violence victimization (b = 0.38 for methamphetamine; b = 0.50 for Magu), media consumption (b = 1.58 for methamphetamine), and sexual risk behaviors (b = 0.94 for methamphetamine; b = 0.72 for Magu). The age at first exposure to sexually explicit media was negatively correlated with sexual violence victimization (b = - 0.09) and sexual risk behaviors (b = - 0.30). Preferences for violence in media were linked to higher sexual violence risk (b = 0.76), and preferences for condomless anal intercourse and group sex to higher sexual risk behaviors (b = 1.04; b = 0.83). Significant positive correlations were found among sexual violence victimization, media consumption, and sexual risk behaviors (r = 0.22-0.82, p < 0.05).

Reactions to positive gender stereotypes were then measured. Results showed that both female and male participants who were exposed to positive gender stereotypes disliked the speaker stating such stereotypes more, experienced greater negative emotions, and perceived the speaker as more gender-prejudiced than those who were not exposed to such stereotypes. These negative reactions were more pronounced in female participants than in male participants. Furthermore, participants' negative reactions to different levels of positive gender stereotypes were similar, regardless of whether the stereotypes were somewhat, moderately, or extremely positive. These negative reactions elicited by positive gender stereotypes were mediated by both a sense of depersonalization and a sense of diminished autonomy.

Having ≥ 5 sex partners, daily use of geosocial networking (GSN) apps, and having sex (including condomless insertive anal sex) with a person living with HIV decreased the odds of low/moderate perceived risk for HIV acquisition, but an HIV test in the last year increased the odds only in Mexico.

Women and gender-diverse individuals diagnosed with SIAD and their partners (<i>N</i> = 232 couples) completed a baseline survey, 56-day diary, and 6-month follow-up survey, assessing responses to sexual rejection, sexual satisfaction, dyadic sexual desire, sexual distress, and relationship satisfaction.

On days when individuals with SIAD perceived or their partners reported greater understanding responses than usual, they both reported higher relationship satisfaction, but also greater sexual distress. Daily perceived or reported greater resentful or insecure responses were associated with lower sexual and relationship satisfaction, and greater sexual distress. Enticing responses showed mixed results. For partners, all daily self-reported response types were positively associated with their own dyadic sexual desire. Prospectively for individuals with SIAD perceiving greater understanding and lower resentful and enticing responses at baseline predicted their own greater sexual and relationship satisfaction and perceiving greater insecure responses predicted their partners’ greater sexual satisfaction, six months later.

Identity formation processes and romantic feelings tended to be most salient in adolescence. People are identifying as asexual more recently, such that 18–22-year-olds did so recently in adolescence (ages 13–17), 23–29 year-olds did so recently in young adulthood (ages 18–24), and 30 + year-olds did so recently in adulthood (ages 25–34).
