Heightened risk of STIs is partly due to increased self-exploration and experimentation during this developmental period, compounded by sexual health misinformation that spreads through peer interactions and online media. Despite a well-documented impact of (false) beliefs on behavior, very little is known about sexual myths among emerging adults in the USA and the structure of these myths. In the current study, we introduce the Sexual Health Myth-Conceptions Scale (SHMCS) with two primary goals: (1) to identify common sexual health myth-conceptions (i.e., a fusion of myths and misconceptions) among US emerging adults and (2) to evaluate the scale’s psychometric properties. A sample of 1,162 US-based emerging adults were recruited through Prolific, an online crowdsourcing platform, and completed the 34-item SHMCS. Item-level characteristics, exploratory factor analysis, exploratory structural equation modeling, and bifactor analysis were used to establish factorial validity. Item response theory (IRT) was used to examine item and scale performance. Results of factor analyses reinforce three persistent factors, including multi-topic or general, pornography use, and STIs/pregnancy. Results of a 2-PL IRT model reinforce good discrimination and moderate item difficulty across the spectrum of myth-conceptions. Although the SHMCS would benefit from further psychometric refinement, it shows promise as a tool for assessing general and domain-specific sexual health myth-conceptions and for advancing understanding their roles in sexual health among emerging adults.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"55 6","pages":"2723 - 2737"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148705263","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}

They are based on the effect that stimuli of sexually attractive target groups are scrutinized longer than stimuli of non-attractive groups in sexual attractiveness rating tasks. When assessing sexual interest in children and adults, decision latencies for target sexual maturity categories are typically compared by subtracting average latencies for children from average latencies of adults. In this study, several ways of improving the scoring algorithm were explored (e.g., using standardized differences, excluding the longest VTs of each category from the scoring, or conducting a profile analysis based on peaks in certain target categories). Scoring algorithms were compared in terms of reliability, convergent validity, and the influence of confounding variables in a secondary analysis of a German male community sample (<i>N</i> = 8554). Additionally, the influence of the scoring on the number of participants who would be classified as exhibiting (increased levels of) sexual interest in children was investigated. The VT task’s validity proved to be quite robust to changes in scoring, but the reliability and classification proportions differed substantially between scores. The best performing score was the mean difference of adult and child target groups with the exclusion of the longest VT in each target category. The results imply that the scoring approach should be chosen based on the research or diagnostic goal of using the VT task (e.g., whether one prioritizes sensitivity or specificity). The study underlines the influence of measurement and scoring approach on prevalence estimates of (increased) sexual interest in children.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"55 6","pages":"2465 - 2481"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10508-026-03490-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148693339","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}

Using an intersectional framework, a three-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted on data from 467 US adults in intimate relationships, spanning Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers. Descriptive results showed that victimization was more prevalent than perpetration, with slapping or throwing objects as the most reported abusive behavior. MANOVA results revealed significant main effects: Women reported higher sexual victimization than men, and Millennials reported higher rates of both victimization and perpetration than older cohorts. Interaction effects highlighted subgroup vulnerabilities. White women reported higher victimization than White men, while White men reported elevated sexual perpetration. Among Millennials, Black/non-White participants reported higher perpetration than their White counterparts. Within White women, Millennials experienced significantly greater victimization than Baby Boomers and Gen Z. White Millennial and Gen X men also reported more victimization than Baby Boomer men. Among Black/non-White women, Millennials showed higher physical perpetration than Gen Z and Gen X. Additionally, Gen Z White men reported more sexual perpetration than older White male cohorts.

An increasing number of people are engaging in online camming relationships, with some reporting that their interactions are not strictly sexual and involve some degree of intimacy. Yet, little is known about the factors that facilitate commitment between cam models and members. In a cross-sectional study of cam models (<i>N</i> = 199) and members (<i>N</i> = 544) from LiveJasmin, surveyed separately (i.e., not as matched dyads), we tested whether satisfaction, investment, and alternatives were associated with current commitment and future planned investment among cam models and members. Based on past research suggesting that alternatives are not as predictive of commitment in multi-partnered relationships and that camming interactions can feature intimacy, we tested an alternative model that replaces the quality of alternatives with intimacy. Results suggest that, in most cases, when cam models or members on camming sites reported greater satisfaction, investment, and intimacy, they, in turn, reported greater current commitment and intentions to invest in their relationship in the future, whereas the quality of alternatives was not a significant predictor. These findings highlight the importance of intimacy in driving commitment within camming relationships, suggesting that emotional connections play a vital role in sustaining these interactions beyond financial exchanges and relationship satisfaction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"55 5","pages":"2181 - 2194"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10508-026-03476-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148576855","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}

In recent years, however, scholarly attention has increasingly turned toward understanding the specific processes associated with desistance from sexual offending. Emerging evidence suggests that while general desistance theories offer partial explanatory value, they do not fully capture the processes unique to sexual offending desistance. To date, no systematic review has synthesized, using inductive methods, the existing literature to identify the mechanisms that facilitate desistance from sexual offending. Addressing this gap is both timely and essential. The present study undertook a systematic review aimed at identifying the mechanisms that promote desistance among adult men convicted of sexual offenses. A qualitative analysis of 29 empirical studies was conducted using thematic synthesis, resulting in the identification of eight distinct mechanisms. These mechanisms were categorized into two overarching groups: active and passive/avoidant. The groups seemed to differentiate between those who cease sexual offending and live a prosocial, adaptive life, and those who cease sexual offending but experience less prosocial change. The identified mechanisms demonstrate what may be necessary to overcome the barriers faced by people attempting to reintegrate into the community following a conviction for a sexual offense. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review to empirically derive and propose potential mechanisms explaining how and why individuals desist from sexual offending.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8327,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Sexual Behavior","volume":"55 5","pages":"1877 - 1898"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10508-026-03484-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148552770","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}
