Previous research shows that androphilic males tend to have more older brothers, a pattern known as the fraternal birth order effect (FBOE). Recent findings have also highlighted the possible relationship between number of older sisters and male androphilia, a pattern known as the sororal birth order effect (SBOE). Evidence on possible influence of sibship composition on female gynephilia is still emerging. In this study, sibship data for Iranian cisgender gynephilic males (n = 239), cisgender ambiphilic males (n = 106), cisgender androphilic males (n = 315), transgender androphilic males (n = 105), cisgender androphilic females (n = 269), cisgender ambiphilic females (n = 110), cisgender gynephilic females (n = 52), and transgender gynephilic females (n = 256) were analyzed. Compared to gynephilic males, a significant FBOE was found in ambiphilic and both androphilic male groups, and a significant SBOE was found in cisgender androphilic males. Compared to androphilic females, a significant SBOE was found in transgender gynephilic females, and a suggestive trend toward a FBOE was found in cisgender gynephilic females. Our study provided further empirical support for the association between older biological brothers and sisters and androphilia in later born males. Our study also contributed to limited literature on the association between older biological sisters and gynephilia in later born females, particularly, those who are relatively more masculine and identify as transgender.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"54 8","pages":"3111 - 3126"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144940287","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 analysis examined 12 years of quantitative sex research, aiming to (1) outline what is known about the sexuality, sexual health, and relationship satisfaction of non-binary people; and (2) appraise measures used in this literature for the inclusivity of non-binary identities (focusing on language and terminology). Searches were conducted on PsycINFO, Web of Science, and MEDLINE for papers in Italian or English between 2012 and 2024, and 44 articles were included for synthesis. Papers covered a wide range of topics, showing that non-binary people often report non-monosexual sexual identities (e.g., queer, pansexual), more attraction to and relationships with other non-binary individuals, and similar levels of sexual and relationship satisfaction as binary transgender people. However, the language and tools employed within the research were not always expansive or inclusive enough to adequately represent non-binary people’s experiences. For example, gender minority individuals were often grouped together for analysis, hiding likely within group differences. Future research should use gender-neutral language and measures and consider non-binary individuals separately, in order to better understand their specific sexual health, well-being, and relationship needs and outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"54 8","pages":"3127 - 3188"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10508-025-03224-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144940379","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}

A significant interaction effect was also found between gender identity and sexual experience in the law enforcement domain, such that men with same-gender experience reported greater stigma than did women with same-gender experience. These findings indicate that across domains, experiences of SWS are relatively stable between women and men but vary according to sexual experience.

Exposure to sexual disgust stimuli also slightly decreased sexual attraction of women toward men.
