Despite growing adoption, factors driving engagement with teledildonics remain underexplored. Clarifying how user motivations intersect to form distinct profiles is crucial for advancing theoretical models of sexual behavior and technology adoption. This study draws on a secondary analysis of cross-sectional survey data from customers of one teledildonics company. Using latent class analysis, we identified motivational patterns among male users (N = 569) across five indicators (arousal enhancement, relaxation, sexual satisfaction in a partner's absence, boredom relief, and technology integration) and examined associations between latent class membership and sociodemographics (e.g., age, sexual orientation, relationship status), usage modalities (i.e., frequency, concurrent pornography use, sex toy type), and sexual satisfaction. A four-class solution best fit the data. Solo Comfort Seekers (Class 1, 38.2%) strongly endorsed partner-substitution motives and were characterized by regular pairing with pornography. Low-Regulation Users (Class 2, 30.3%) showed the weakest endorsement of relaxation and boredom relief. Standalone Toy Users (Class 3, 22.6%) showed the lowest endorsement of technological integration and favored manual devices. Tech-Integrated Regulators (Class 4, 8.9%) moderately to strongly endorsed all motives and almost always used teledildonics with pornography. This study shows that teledildonics practices are embedded in complex individual and relational contexts, shaped by more than the pursuit of sexual pleasure. Recognizing these diverse profiles can inform theory, guide inclusive device design, and support tailored health promotion that advances sexual well-being and responds to evolving forms of intimacy.</p>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149001112","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}

Characterizing the social context in which sexual behaviors occur, including substance use prior to sex and condomless sex, can inform prevention strategies. This paper presents an innovative analytic approach that blends multilevel latent class analysis (MLCA) with egocentric sexual network data to explore patterns of dyadic and personal characteristics of Latino men's sexual partners. From February 2022 to August 2023, social network data were collected from 488 pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)-eligible Latino men (egos) who reported on 1065 sexual partners (alters) in Miami, Florida. MLCA identified subgroups of Latino men's sexual partners using partner and relationship characteristics. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine whether dyadic, ego, and network characteristics were associated with sexual partner typologies. A three-class, two-group solution was identified. Three distinct sexual partner typologies emerged: (1) main, emotionally close, HIV-negative seroconcordant partner; (2) casual partners with whom ego has selective or no condomless anal sex, and (3) low HIV/STI exposure, casual partners. Two upper-level groups emerged: (1) networks with mostly casual partners and (2) networks with a main sexual partner. Results from the multinomial logistic regression showed that PrEP use, country of nativity, sexual network size, and substance use were significantly associated with group and class membership. Our findings support the development of multilevel, dyadic interventions to increase engagement in HIV/STI protective behaviors and increase access to prevention services.</p>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148975544","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 present dyadic study examined the prospective associations between different aspects of pornography use (i.e., frequency of use, eight pornography use motivations [PUMs], and problematic pornography use [PPU]) and sexual well-being (i.e., sexual satisfaction, function, distress, and partnered sexual frequency), considering gender differences. We collected self-report data from 309 couples (618 individuals, 52% women, 2% gender-diverse individuals) at baseline and one year later. We conducted autoregressive cross-lagged analyses within an actor-partner interdependence framework with gender as a moderator. Results suggested important gender-specific and partner effects. For example, men’s higher sexual pleasure and self-exploration PUMs were associated with their own and their partner’s better sexual function, while women and gender-diverse individuals’ PPU was associated with their partner’s lower sexual function one year later. Results highlight that associations between different aspects of pornography use and couples’ sexual well-being are complex and may differ across genders.

Drawing on a sample of 650 female students from Nigeria’s four main regions (North, South, East, and West), this study evaluated respondents’ knowledge of contraceptives and access to them, family support, and experiences of social stigmatization (ST).

Less pressure from oneself to conform to same-gender behavior was consistently related to less gender-typical career aspirations. The association between less pressure from oneself to avoid other-gender behavior and less gender-typical expectations regarding family versus career involvement was only observed among children who scored high on gender typicality. In contrast, among children with high gender typicality, less pressure from parents to conform to same-gender behavior was linked to more gender-typical career aspirations.

The concept and definition of sexual consent are evolving from a static, general, and pre-sexual activity issue to a dynamic process that must be present throughout the entire sexual encounter. Therefore, it is necessary to use instruments that consider this dimension, and to adapt and validate them for diverse languages and cultures to facilitate the replication of quantitative studies. The objective of the present research was twofold: to examine the reliability and factor structure of the Spanish version of the Process-Based Consent Scale (PBCS) and to analyze the differences among a sexually diverse sample, in terms of their own gender identity and sexual orientation. The sample consisted of a total of 726 participants (505 women, 209 men, and 7 nonbinary) of different sexual orientations (587 heterosexual, 77 bisexual, 49 homosexual, and 10 asexual) aged between 18 and 63 years. The Spanish version was composed of 16 items grouped into three factors (ongoing consent, subtle coercion, and communicative sexuality). Gender differences were observed in two of the three factors. Differences were also noted according to sexual orientation, with less sexual coercion by bisexual women. Furthermore, the results indicated that the PBCS correlated with the dimensions of the Spanish version of the Sexual Consent Scale-Revised. The PBCS represents a reliable measure of sexual consent for the Spanish population. These findings could contribute to the prevention of and intervention in sexual violence, tailored according to individual differences.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"55 6","pages":"2381 - 2395"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148910692","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}
